I agree 100%. I just noticed on was in the 10year club on reddit. I was part of the twitter beta program and have participated in every form of social media that has come up since 2008. In my 6 months of being active on steemit I have had more rewards than all the others combined. I think people are wary because of the whales and how they may or may not behave. But if any of us were fortunate to have gotten in at the right time and known how to benefit from the system we would have. That was not the case for me and I'm not bitter. I think of the votes I get from you @drpuffnstuff and wonder how much money I will have in 10 years just because you voted for me lol. I bet it is going to be quite a bit. Once people find their voice and their community on steemit there is no stopping it. The only "scam" possible is the manipulation of the currency. However that happens with every form of currrency every day on earth and I see how market makers operate in crypto so I get why people are hesitant. But I think we are here at the right time in the development of crypto,
