I made a posting earlier but nobody made a comment and I don't see a chat box... Is there a chatbox? I mean I guess it isn't neccessary but where else should I go to if the main way for gaining information (my post) isn't working.

Is there a way to put a picture in the profile area?

After nearly a day I'm clueless, and honestly i'm quite suprised that with such huge payouts this place would be like a palace. Instead, it makes me feel like im back on early days of facebook, but atleast I could have a picture and connect with local people there.

I don't even see that a location exists. Or any sort of profile information.

I think I may have stumbled into a cult...

So, can the Cult Leaders please answer some questions before I decide to join in on your activities?

How do I upload images like everyone else. I click the image thing but it doesn't do anything

what is the 25 next to my name when everyone else has higher numbers. Is that how much they invested?

Which brings me to my next question

Is this a ponzi sceme where I have to invest to get rewards?

I got a $0.01 on my earlier post, but before I spend more time I wan't to know that it is possible to get those big payouts like $500 without having to invest real money.

and

How do I invest or even withdraw? Do i have to get involved in The Bitcoin or Dog coin... whatever that one with dog on it is. pretty awesome idea whoever came up with that one.

Is Steem coin going to take over The Bitcoin? What is the price of 1 steem?

Do I have to link a bank account to get paid?

As my title says, This all feels like a blast into the past. Feels like im learning windows 95 all over again.

So i'm super confused as to where as this payout money comes from cause I know that I wouldn't pay any of those trending posts my money... Who is the rich guy paying someone $500 for 1post!

No I'm serious, I would like to meet him. I'm single...

Please help a newbie out. Guide me into the light and let me flourish, if you do this... I might even consider joining your so-called Steemit Cult Group and help spread the word.
