We are all greedy. Greed runs the world no doubt. The point here is the mentality I think. The old guns of crypto that pretty much are the whales, still have the short-term investment mentality. I agree you can't really convince them otherwise, but they have to realize that things are changing in the crypto-sphere.

There is a massive opportunity for Steemit to become greater than facebook. If they start treating curation as a human act the rewards will be much greater int he future. There is a huge wave of newcomers and they need to experience this human-to-human reward rather than a random faceless robot. They need to see it as an investment, not a pump and dump.

Part of the reason people are fed up with Facebook is because they are not treated as individuals. We have the opportunity to do this here and still remain greedy.
