lol one friend was convinced cryptocurrency including steemit is a ponzi haha. We don't talk anymore because he has a stick shoved deep up his ass and thinks he's smarter than everyone else. I think a lot of people like that just get jealous of people like us who are earning from it and instead of giving in to it, they build their walls even higher and thicker cause they don't want to be proven wrong in front of others and to look dumb. They gotta drown their ego :)
