[…] examples you gave of leaving bitcoin in your wallet and possibly not earning a thing was a wake up call.
That is a deception. Whilst your STEEM POWER (SP) increases, the cartels are taking asymmetrically more rewards out than proportional to their SP, thus you’re continuously being diluted/debased relative to if you had held BTC instead. The only reason you’re able to advance is because enough other greater fools are fooled into buying STEEM and driving the price up despite the ongoing scam which they’re not fully aware of. And if you happen to be one the lucky bloggers that is upvoted by whale cartels, then you can be shining example that the scam tries to reward a few superstar bloggers to make everyone else jealous and manipulate their psychology to think that in the future maybe they can get high rewards too if they continue to give more effort to Steem than Steem gives back to them.
I have written a point-by-point rebuttal of @jerrybanfield’s incorrect propaganda campaign.
