RE: Ditch the FUD and get involved. It's more rewarding.
I hope he comes around, learns a bit more and finds himself motivated to join in. His critique will be that much more valuable to those that listen to him and to all Steemers. I believe in what Steemit is trying to accomplish so much, that it feels as though we can certainly afford to be patient and welcoming, even to those that initially didn't get it....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. :)
