I think some people are still not realizing how unique a place steemit is.

They still seem to try to view it from the perspective of things that have existed before.   They lash out at people who are not harming them.   In fact those people they lash out at are the ones most likely to help them achieve what they want.

They believe things are only fair, if they are on the terms they have fixed in their own minds.

I started to respond to someone on a post...   I kind of liked where it was going so I thought I'd post it here instead.

Are you familiar with the term BETA (in upper left corner).  That means this is still under construction.   

Right now this is a kind of like a huge structure built by engineers and architects.   

 They have the money.   

They have started voting (handing money to other people) and those people will spread out and vote (handing money to other people).    

Yet this building has an odd property never seen before.  

 

When you walk in the door your pocket starts filling up with money REALLY slowly without you doing a single thing.   It is almost like the money in your pockets is capable of self replication.

If someone with money they got from the architects or engineers walks past you and says HEY I LIKE WHAT YOU SAID suddenly you have more money, and your money is going to town reproducing in your pocket....

It is crazy.   

You decide to speak to someone new and from your lips tiny amounts of money trickle out and start going to town in that new person's pocket.    You gave them money.   It didn't cost you anything.

You notice some new people see an engineer with their big stacks of cash and they get angry.    

They get angry when they see the engineer talk to someone that they don't think is worthy.    

 The engineer should not be granting those people money, they should only give to people that new person deems are worthy.

It doesn't matter to the new person that no one was hurt by the action.   It doesn't matter to the new person that EVERY time that happens there is another person capable of enriching MORE people in the community.

All they know is THIS ISN'T HOW IT should be in their mind.   They try really hard to fit what they are seeing inside of some familiar box from outside the doors of this building.    They miss the point...   they miss the wonder.

The money... it is flowing from words, sounds, images, information, and community.

Some of them clue in and realize this is a new beast, a new place, a new thing.   It does not fit in with the world outside of its doors.   

A person making steem power DID not take steem power from anyone, but it did increase their potential to spread the steem power.

I've written some other posts on this and some people thanked me.   I am really only trying to help people by posting this.   I really dislike seeing the fighting and anger over something we should all be happy about.

Not a Ponzi Scheme - seems like a new paradigm - up votes regardless of topic help us all
