Please don't tell me steem pays money with creating new steem. I have studied all business plan about steem. Please think deep about steem real value. I know steem is paying, anyone is earning money from steem, etc. all of the steem team members says steem is paying its user just like Bitcoin. Bitcoin reward miners by creating new bitcoin and steem reward users creating new steem. please pay attention that real money and value of bitcoin comes from real demand(not speculator demand) that people want to use bitcoin because of the nice features this service have VS banking system(like fast tx, low fee, privacy etc). otherwise, cryptocurrency is only a computer code and does not have any value till people want to use them(Real Demand). as you know growing demand for bitcoin was more than supply(creating new bitcoin) so demand/supply rule grows its value.
Steem is a really nice idea. Social network based on the blockchain. Everyone knows social network earn much money like Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, etc. but my real problem is approximately all of the real value and money of social network comes from advertisement. the real point is steem does not have any advertisement. if there was advertisement protocol/plan it was OK for me. so advertisers pay money to steem because of its community and this real income distributed to all active users instead of one centralized company.
So make sure if steem project does not change its plan to earn money for the system, it fails in the future.
