Steemit Ponzi Paradigm. Do You Fight That or Not?

in steemit •  8 years ago  (edited)

If you are looking for a Steem Ponzi, Pyramid or Speculative Steem (SBD) Game, you are in the wrong place. 

Two days ago I’ve started my “Anti-Ponzi movement” by buying the domain www.steemponzi.com and publishing there my artistic (web designer) response to Ponzi Believers! I am the winner in this "fight" because I was faster than them with my acquisition (they will not use that domain to create any Ponzi game) and with lack of modesty I can tell that I’ve put up one simple, well implemented message!

But why do I need to fight them? Do we have a Steemit Ponzi Paradigm here?  Defining “Paradigm” first might help me decide:   


These are some definitions from the Urban Dictionary and I personally think the last one is the most appropriate for this article and makes me believe that we do have it. The "Steemit Ponzi Paradigm " really exists.

I see many people speculating about Steemit being a Ponzi and other fighting that with tons of articles explaining why Steemit is not a Ponzi!   

At this moment I think Steemit is not a Ponzi! This is why I’ve decided to fight in my own style with the Steemit opponents. I hope you liked my approach!

The best to do is to decide for yourself if Steemit is a Ponzi or not by doing your own research!   

But, If you think it is not, will you fight for Steemit?   How?

Steem is something never seen before. It has characteristics of things in the past (including Ponzi's). Yet it has characteristics never seen before too. It also is based upon decentralized block chain tech and things we've not had in the past.

So is it a Ponzi? I think not. I do think it is an evolutionary offshoot of Ponzi.

Yet I also think part of why Ponzi schemes keep attracting people is they DO have a potential to work. Human Nature and Greed usually kill them.

BUY THIS pack and then go recruit more people to BUY THIS pack and you make money based upon how many people they recruit.

We are providing the product. Furthermore, we didn't have to buy anything. They gave our start to us for free. I've made money, and haven't spent a dime.

They gave you a free rope to climb with, and yet still people fashion it into a noose.

Steemit is more like an inverse ponzi, since the rich are the ones who give to the poor.

With money paid for by other rich people..

Interesting read, I enjoyed your writing style.
