RE: Steemit is a SCAM??? Who ARE These People??? What are they THINKING?
Not one bit surprising that people think it is a scam.
I can barely get 2%-3% of my Facebook friends list to get that that Federal Reserve ISN'T a government agency or to understand how fractional reserve banking works, or any number of verifiable facts. Most people are plugged into the idiot box (TV) and brainwashed to a nearly hopeless state.
Really sad actually, like a bunch of scared caged animals
Oh, I hear you. The world is full of FEAR everywhere... we live in a fear-driven economy. People consume when they are afraid; they "buy into" what they perceive to be safety.
And nobody likes it much when I tell them a $100 bill and a Bitcoin are both intrinsically worth approximately ZERO (a small piece of paper, and a computer record)... and that the value lies purely in our belief and agreement that these things have "value."
