Thanks for catching my comments and sharing valid points. Since you asked:
In my view, in any society, platform, or world, People > $.
Charity > than building investor wealth.
Helping others in need is the best feeling in the world. Burning $ to make holders with real money more wealthy is beyond upsetting, etc., in my humble eyes.
"Charity" increases global awareness, goodwill, adoption, and utility, which would actually make Steem worth much more in price in the long run, if it's truly supposed to develop into a worldwide global currency. Is that logic not fair?
