I looked on steemworld today and you have been upvoting some of my content and it is deeply appreciated, sir!
I'm very glad you posted this. I have been asking the same questions myself. For being on steemit am I one of the suckers born every minute as P.T. Barnum once said or does steemit have the potential of being something of great value. About 12 years ago I invested in something called DXGold and lost. I'm not putting my own money into steemit choosing to work it from the ground up. Like you I've observed the greed here, but it's everywhere as you know. When I observed the greedy here and how they did it I made a decision that I was not going to follow that example and have been posting the best quality content that my meager skills can muster. What happens, happens. I've also become one of your followers and look forward to reading your posts. Thank you for making me aware of #thealliance and @gardenofeden.
