"Yes, Steem is nice for content creators but from an investors point of view it is a no go imho. Just have a look at https://steemwhales.com/. Steem is NOT a decentralized currency, MOST OF THE COINS ARE OWNED BY STEEMIT and the exchanges."

Proof of work! Proof of brain! Blah Blah Blah! More like "Proof of GREED" They pre-mined everything and hoarded most of it.. letting all of you BUY the scraps with your fiat/other REAL coins. Steem has NO VALUE. It was backed by nothing and printed out of thin air.
The gambling games, drug wars, and so on are all set up by "you know who" and other high up con men on Steem this is why he stays silent when the 'gambling games/games/dapps' scam the customers. They profit from all of you. And pretend to "play" the games to fit in with all of you to make it appear normal.
Oh look who "helped" how "nice".

Your all being played for a fool. There is also a social engineering programming happening via Steem/Twitter but that is another story.

Hop on one foot, repeat these tasks in this order.. this amount of times.. Dance monkey dance!!
Wake up people. Snap out of it.
Your social programming is NOT normal.
Here is a bit of interesting info!
"After the first 12 or so hours of mining, all their miners crashed, exposing that they were mining to 100 different witnesses to hide the fact that they (he) was one entity. The devs wouldn't have been caught except that their mining instructions were wrong, and no one else was mining because, even if they couldn't get the client to build, they entered mining commands that caused them to get no blocks. The devs will claim this isn't on purpose, but check the original thread. You'll see that no one mined a block when the dev's miners were down.
Then, as I have stated many times, when their miners crashed again, I mined a significant amount of steem that night in their absence. To prevent my vesting that and driving the price of vests up on them, they relaunched to ensure COMPLETE CONTROL AND CENTRALIZATION.
After the relaunch, no one would challenge them on mining because if they did, the devs would just relaunch this scamcoin again. So, no one who pays attention (and the people who have the means to procure whatever hashes they want are also the people who are paying attention), would challenge them on the hashes. As they hoped, no one did and they completely dominated the hashes for 1 week.
Now after 1 week of hashing, they dump all their coins into vests, where the price of a vest goes up with the amount vested. This is not your typical stakeholding where one unit of currency is worth one stake. This is on purpose so that they can COMPLETELY CONTROL THIS COIN IN A CENTRALIZED WAY after just 1 week.
Vests don't cost 1 STEEM anymore like they did when the devs bought them. They now cost 5 STEEM. That means that you will need to dominate all the hashes for 5 weeks just to match the control the devs have after 1 week. They have driven your costs up by 5, not using the market, as should be done, but by using this freemine/threat-of-relaunch scam."
There does seem to be an issue.
As you, AFAIK, aren't one of the devs, this would seem to exclude you. I make no accusations of anyone, but you asked for evidence, and this exists.
Further, as mining is no longer possible, all mining that was done is a sort of pre-mine, since no one can mine anymore. I can only either buy Steem, or receive it from the rewards pool, or another party that possesses it.
I consider all the mining, since I cannot mine, pre-mining, since pre-mining would be mining that the public could not have participated in, and I cannot participate in it. Therefore, same difference.
I doubt this is a legal opinion, and neither do I accuse (just to make it clear) anyone of a scam.
This guy certainly does, though."
Above is taken from link found below in which "HE" calls all of YOU "MORONS" lol which is all you are to HIM the GUY who PREMINED and kept everything CENTRALIZED by HIMSELF -> Ned/Pumpkin/Freedom/Bernie/Dan? (we can all speculate which is which) and it is all we can do due to the ZERO TRANSPARENCY on STEEM / Steemit (we can only guess who this ONE PERSON/MAN IS) but we all know WHO WIELDS the power around here so you can bet your buttons THAT "HE" is your guy! See below!
You see this proof of "stake" is bullshit. This "person" loaded his account(s) with what is/was the equal to Monopoly money. And all of you "peasants" have to buy your Steem with actual Fiat/Real coins. His was just pulled from thin air.. and then HOARDED to himself and runs MOST/ALL of the nodes.
STEEM IS NOT DECENTRALIZED. STEEM WAS BUILT ON LIES FROM DAY ONE. STEEM IS RUN LIKE SHIT. STEEMIT CROOKED AS THE DAY IS LONG AND JUST BECAUSE YOU WISH IT WERE NOT SO DOES NOT MAKE IT UNTRUE. EVERYTHING YOU HATE ABOUT YOUTUBE/TWITTER IS HAPPENING HERE BUT 10 TIMES WORSE. CENSORSHIP/LIES/CENTRALIZATION.
They knew what YOU wanted to hear so they fed you pretty lies to get you to sign up. A spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down... At least Facebook/Twitter/YouTube have to answer to someone. This place is run like we are stuck 10,000 years back in time. One communist leader who thinks he is King/God dictating to you peasants how to think 'or else'. You play HIS game or kiss it goodbye. Your not free here. You are all just slaves to pennies. If you stay in a situation that is compromising to your ethics than you are just a sell out and morally corrupt. In which case this place is befitting.
You will downvote this because you do not want the truth out. But it is too late. Everyone is watching because you have brought so much attention to what you were trying to cover up by trying to censor me. Just like you censor anyone else who tries to be a free thinker or tell the truth.
If it were not true you would not care if this was seen. The proof is in the pudding. You will try to bury the truth because you can only scam those who are kept in the dark. You need to silence the truth from these good people. You are pathetic. Your game of Monopoly is over. You just landed on Do not pass go.. do not collect 200 dollars BernieSlanders. Here is your GO TO JAIL card because that is were criminals like you belong.

Don't let the meme fool you. In fact the story of Dan leaving.. well.. don't let that fool you either.. seeing as they lie around here about everything.. for all you know "you know who" could be 'HIM'.
They knew Dan is linked to failure. Removing his name from the project just may be a story to have tried to make it into a success. Which it didn't anyhow. Steem is a flop. A big fat hairy failure.
