thank you bittrex for the images.
Steemit has developers, steemit has guidelines and terms of agreements about using the website.
BUT unlike other platforms Steemit rewards you with Stock options you can freely sell off slowly over 104 weeks should you so choose.
People need to understand steemit is not a website just to surf around on, this is your own company you are paid in stock shares. If you are stupid enough to race out and sell those shares that is your business decision. You never paid for that free money, currently microsoft is offering usable rewards points for using some strange search engine. So if I want free Microsoft stuff I can earn rewards points for using some weird program i do not want to use.
Steemit is saying use our platform for free, if you create interesting appealing content you run the risk of earning real life money for free, the only risk is your spare time. Thus you earn a secondary income at no risk for free by investing your spare time and talent.
The people complaining are more interested in getting something for nothing than in making Steemit work. Steemit is a bloggers dream platform, people using steemit should be writing to other blogging websites and campaigning those existing bloggers to bring their content to Steemit.
Everyone is saying the whales are to rich or where are the developers and every other reason to speak trash about this golden opportunity that steemit has given you for no risk and for nothing. This is literally the same as walking to your letterbox 15 years ago and finding an envelope of three free shares in a startup called Amazon, the only requirement is you must visit the website and log in 4 times per week.
People complain that the price of steem is falling, the price of steem is not falling, the bar graph is wrong ! ! ! Simply the value of steem was unknown, that is like someone taking the IBM stock price of US$150 a share and adding a zero. Thus tomorrow IMB is selling at US$ 1,500, people think hang on that is wrong and the share price responds to supply and demand and moves toward its real position around US$ 150.
No one had any realistic price gauge to value steem at whatever it was earning in July; simply it was ridiculously overpriced and now people keep saying the sky is falling, the sky is falling and running around like panicked chickens, we fear is infectious and the sheep are scared.
None of that affects you, if you paid real money for steem shares that was your choice and steemit gives you the chance (unlike the real share market) to add interest and earn extra platform rewards to strengthen your investment. The only way steem can sell is someone must buy it, that means someone is buying steemit stock and i doubt some Colombian drug lord is cycling steem to launder their drug profits.
Write to blog websites and encourage them to bring their contents and readership to a platform to earn rewards. This is your free startup small business opportunity. Please choose to not be dumb F***'s and think I have nothing to gain here except my own entertainment. Just because you did not buy shares in steemit with real money does not mean you cannot make a go and profit from using just your talents and spare time, the more and faster Steemit grows the more your portfolio is worth.
People just are to silly to realize the free gift they have, so start by helping others with networking and mentoring and stop your incessant complaining. The price of steem is not falling it has no value until it finds its own natural price floor according to the economic law of supply and demand . . .
Now please shut up, and get back to work; remember the beatings will continue until morale improves ; )
