Why I Don't Care Someone Stole My Article & Made $400 on Steemit

 Someone told my CCN post and published it on Steemit. They earned $400 [Editor’s note:  The payout did not occur after the article was found to be  plagiarized]. I earned substantially less. Why don’t I care? Because I  am realistic about the nature of the Internet, the economy – and most  importantly, Bitcoiners.

 I often hear people say that hard work pays off. This isn’t always  the case. Many times, taking the easy route is the quickest way to make  money.  Dishonesty, theft and tearing others down. And isn’t that what  the global economy has proved itself to be all about? 

Bitcoiners love to tout “free markets.” Isn’t someone stealing  another’s post and profiting to the tune of $400 the perfect example of  “free market.” 

Many people discuss the Bitcoin “Community.” But, the Bitcoin  Community is a marketing angle in order to entice newcomers to feel at  home while entering into what’s determinedly nothing more than industry –  with self-interest and plenty of lawyers (looking at you, Santori). 

 What is Steemit? 

Steemit  is a social media platform where everyone gets paid for creating and  curating content. It leverages a robust digital points system, called  Steem, that supports real value for digital rewards through market price  discovery and liquidity. 

Steemit claims to be a website that  allows you to interact with its blockchain. The blockchain is a system  where virtual currency is used to reward users who post, comment or rate  posts. It’s kind of like Reddit but you are rewarded if people upvote  your post with Steem, a digital token. The rewards are given out in 50%  dollars and 50% steem power. 

 There are many things that can be  done on Steem. You can write posts with photo and video links. You can  upvote or downvote other’s posts. You get rewarded if your posts become  popular on the website. The website claims this is all based on the  blockchain, but there have been other website’s claiming to run their  own blockchains without proof thereof.

  Bitcoin publications – as they do  with every new blockchain startup – claims it could be the “killer app”  of Bitcoin. Only time can tell that.

  Just four days ago, Steemit was hacked for $85,000, another high-profile hack in the wake of the $55 million hack of the DAO. 

In an official statement, CEO Ned Scott said the hack had “been contained.”  

User accounts and wallets are not at risk, and we hope to  soon reactivate the steemit website to normal order. Any users whose  accounts were compromised will be completely reimbursed.

So why don’t I care someone stole my  post and profited big? Because I don’t expect the economy to work any  other way, let alone the Internet. Some of the most successful  individuals in history have made themselves successful on the back of  others. We see that here in the Bitcoin Community. (How many people are  riding the back’s of Satoshi, claiming to be doing good work for the  community?) My lack of expectations results in few disappointments.  

I hope that whoever stole the post  and profited big on it gives some money away to charity or that they  themselves needed that cash more than I did. They’re not to blame.  Perhaps the naive who tipped the individual shoulder most the blame.
