Steemit is somewhat of an oligarchy these days, those that wielded the Steem Guild self voting power back in the day are the current whales of today due to 'the experiment'. It appears that their George Orwell 'Animal farm' rhetoric is as strong today as it was back then. What I really don't like however is how these slimy individuals have transitioned into providing trading and technical analysis posts. That’s where I draw a line and have to speak up.
It's one thing to write 10 posts about random movie reviews, aurababies and holes - but to provide advice about trading in the markets when you both clearly have no idea what you're talking about is so morally wrong.

However at the same time they are spreading misinformation to people that have little to no experience in the markets. I don't want to see people listening to them and losing money.
I'm throwing the gauntlets off… let's have a trading/markets competition organised by an unbiased third party.
Put your reward sucking teats where your mouth is. Let's play a game!
Compete with someone that actually trades the markets for a living.
