RE: Ditch the FUD and get involved. It's more rewarding.
let's face it, we were all once in that position.
I agree, felt the same way some times about certain other projects and currencies. Obviously many will come around in time and userbase, and we will be just as welcoming then, but when words are thrown around like "scam" and "pyramid" about an open-source project like this without reading the whitepaper then I have no respect for that person.
Yes. There are thousands and thousands of people genuinely committing their time and effort and money and creativity to build a network and community of great mutual value. You cannot do this without optimism, trust, belief..... To have those efforts smeared with such words is very hard take. To hear it from someone with a public, 'expert' voice who clearly and objectively does not understand the basic principals of the subject is very hard. But, Steem is......Steemit is. If we don't grow by one more person, i will still have enjoyed the experience, learned loads and will never regret being a part of it.
Great having users like you here too! This community will have a bright future. :)
Threw you a follow. :)
