RE: How I felt as a new Steem joiner
I can use the word 'scam' however I wish. I am sharing my opinion. Isn't concealing the fact that you cannot cash out for two years somewhat less than honest and upfront, Isn't the whole Steem Dollar thing a little deceptive? No?
Let me put it another way:
It is my opinion that Steemit is yet another scheme to part the gullible from their money.
I have no motivation other than to make people aware that this looks and feels like an obvious scam to me. If I'm wrong, I win 'cos I'll be rich like the rest of you. If I'm correct I win 'cos I have not invested a cent of real money here.
There will be losers...
No, you are not just sharing your opinion. You are intentionally misusing words to confuse other people, which qualifies as an act of abuse.
How is this fact concealed, when it's clearly described in the whitepaper? You are spreading outright lies.
How is Steem Dollar deceptive? Please be more specific when you make an accusation like this.
That's the thing - you offer your "opinion" but no shred of evidence to justify it. And this is the actual scam happening in crypto-world: people behaving shamelessly like you.
Nobody says Steem will survive. It's a social and economic experiment which has never been tried before and everyone is welcome to join it and take both the benefit and the risk associated with it. But accusing people behind such an enterprise of dishonest intentions, while offering no proof for it, is a manipulative act of abuse.
Opinion does not require evidence.
I'm saying it looks and smells like a scam to me. Most normal people don't read the white paper and the steem dollar is just an IOU from the site because it does not want to pay in a real cryptocurrency.
@therealnivok , again you are spreading misinformation. Steem dollar is not an IOU from any third-party. It's fully backed by Steem.
And as you fail to provide a definition of "real cryptocurrency", your opinion is meaningless.
