A lot of people might interpret this behavior as selfish, but what they don't understand is that this system is designed for that ( to an extent). Of course no one wants to see the system exploited in ways it wasn't intended to be, but people forget the reason things like Bitcoin became a success is because it essentially monetized greed and turned it into a feedback loop that would grow itself. Steem can do that too.

This post started when I was speaking with a hostel friend about the instinct of survival as an individual vs the instinct of procreation as a species so I totally get your point. Im very happy that you agree with the post. I didn´t know that about bitcoin, I guess I should look into that more because I am so clueless about bryptocurrencies...
Check out Satoshi's whitepaper for Bitcoin. He was not as explicit as I was, but if I remember right he did specifically intend for it to work this way. Everyone working within the protocol mutually benefiting everyone else thru profit motive. It was partially a response to the financial crash that happened just before release.
