I dont think youbwould be making this post if you think steemit is a scam. I have been on this platform for quite no so long and i have seen the god and the bad. I will never vote for steemit to be a scam because i have actually read high quality content material and keep on reading more which has personally guided me till now. The aim of establishing the site ia in play. What amazes me is its opensource platform allowing for exponential growth. Any developer can add to the program without the program paying anything.The future is going to be awesome. Moreover, if your friends think steemit is a scam, let them join without investing. Only then can they be convinced.
