I think my concern is once the mainstream get wind of this there will be people trying to game the system.

I am worried because that will destroy any ecosystem which is made.

i don't know what can be done to prevent this? full disclosure - I have not bought any Steem yet - as excited as everyone is, and I want to be convinced. I feel like once the mainstream get hold of this it won't be what everyone thinks it will be.
I don't want to bring down the conversation I just want to discuss the things which are worrying me - thanks for engaging in a discussion with me!
