Wow! There is so much going on here that I have no clue about.

Once you bring money into any equation, this is what you get. We have to remember that at the end of the day, steemit is a community of living people from different backgrounds, with different concepts of life and different attitudes towards money. There will be greed and usury because the fact that steemit rewards posts and comments is the reason why most persons are here. They are not here to build community or make friends. Do not care whether steemit rises or falls. They just want the quick buck. They see steemit as a flare in the night that will fade away soon, so they want to cash out fast. They have no faith in the system.

For persons who minnows respect as people who have achieved the seemingly impossible to forget the responsibility that comes with the position they occupy is bad enough but to cheat those who lack, is a sad commentary on the world we live in because this is what we get offline. The question is how decentralized is steemit with such issues bedevilling the community?
