RE: The Steemit Ponzi scheme discussion - some common questions
When I hear the word Ponzi
It is not to the gangly mug shot I'm drawn
Instead my mind flashes to Fonzi
Steemit does not make me feel a pawn
No dime from my pocket or bank have I spent
So when they say Ponzi I am uncertain what they meant
So some are wealthy as they sit
How has that harmed anyone, even a bit?
Whether the money comes from mathematics of zero through nine
or from great content created from the heart and the mind
Any backed currency math or creation should be fine
Any new paradigm resistance to change you find
You sir are a god among mongoloids.
Draw me
Show me
So I can see
Me
Some people are buying into steem, those are paying for all the others. People who pay to power up are the ones who will be the losers.
When from your pocket a dollar bill you pull
Do you then also feel yourself a fool
Crypto-Currency may not be backed by gold
Yet neither is that bill that you now hold
A Banking Cartel that yanks the chain
Or other people with whom we gain
Whether something has value is from the people
It does not exist solely in the governments steeple
Sure some people do on journey us take
A journey that will end up being fake
Yet when the blockchain contains your stake
Will your head swivel as you look for a snake
If you still have a concern
From the white paper you should learn
If still you find yourself on the fence
That is for you, I'm not here to convince
I don't believe more in the dollar than in any blockchain. I know the dollar system is biased too.
That's not a good reason to buy into ponzi like schemes on the internet.
Ponzi LIKE is a better term
is the foundation firm
Yet even that does not mean it will fail
The schemes seem like they could be well
Schemes of the past that demanded you buy in
This you must do before you even begin
Then they continue and promise you fame
Yet all you end up doing is selling the same
If more people you convince spend their wealth
Supposedly you'll earn more almost by stealth
You can come here and spend not a thing
And you earn money for that which you bring
It is based on community and what its worth
For steem itself is a glorious new birth
Yeah, USD is not only fiat, it's in a lot worse of a situation that STEEM will ever be. Did some comparison at the end of this post just the other day. I like what you're saying.
In love with steemit!
My love for steemit is so great,
my heart melts for it 'til the dusk of day.
The night generates when it's away,
coins, loves 'til day's dawn.
Its beauty is great,
Wondering mind 'til it sees,
creating is all I do,
While waiting for the moment, for it to say "I do."
If married to steemit so too are you
o' lordy o' lordy what shall we do
are we at one in polygamy
I the spouse shaped pygmy
With this I am open as long as its free
a choice is given and given to thee
Life seems short and life seems long
Yet often tis such a somber song
@chaospoet I love that you dropped a few rhymes here and made like $800. How much does Tech-Nine get for a guest spot? You might be close
Is that truly the amount I should get?
That is more than I would have bet
I only thought I'd get one of them
And the rest would end up with him
Stealing his thunder was certainly no plan today
It is hard work to fashion a response this way
I normally in my other account you see
am long winded and talk endlessly
Here in this style it slows me down
It really makes me think and fashion my sound
If it ends up crazy as it may
I'll send some SBD your way
@chaospoet Thanks for the tip, much appreciated
Haha. Appreciate it, but you did well here today, so don't feel obligated.
In the modern age there are those who believe
That a cause is a thing to be worn on one's sleeve.
And so, we sell a cause. It's called a scause.
And wearing a scause gets you lots of applause.
We start with some plastic which is shirped by our shirpist
Then dip it in colors that show off your purpose.
There are green scauses for recycling, blue scauses for kitties,
And pink scauses that focus on nothing but titties.
Do you hate abortion? Ah! Then a white scause is for you!
Why not champion your scause with some sparkles and glue?
We make scauses for this! We make scauses for that!
Why there's even a scause for just being fat!
What's the matter? Can't think of a scause?
How about raising awareness for the hairs in your schnozz?
Let's just think of the thing that you care about most.
Then let's make it orange, like marmalade toast!
And now I'd like to say "thank you" for your coming down.
I'm off to go sell these in your little town!
South Park makes up things not so typical
Everything I have said here has been original
