RE: The Great Steemit Debate: Tone Vays vs. Jeff Berwick "Ponzi Scheme or Paradigm Shift?"
The issue is that without buying STEEM POWER for BTC there wont be rewards that Jeff is getting. If we all hope just to get rewards out of posting or curating there wont be STEEMIT. Someone needs to invest!
And they will invest in order to do what? Get your attention...or leverage their sp to pay people who work hard to help them on steemit.
Not judging your opinion: If an investor didn't buy STEEM on an exchange , the price of STEEM could be near ZERO. What rewards would people get by writing posts?? Tokens with promised value? Do you believe it could attract new users to the platform? IMO an investor here is a foundation of very promising social network based on (hopefully) decentralised blockchain.
Everyone is investing by using their valuable time here on the platform.
FB has made BILLIONS off our content as will Steemit. Steemit however is paying people a fair value for their content.
Even making .01 cents per post is a LOT more than FB does.
If people use and value this platform there WILL be money to compensate people.
