Hello! Steemit is not a scam in my opinion. To be honest, I think this is a great chance for people living in more poor countries then in most of Europe and the states etc..
I am really curious how life is in Africa and it is nice to read some text other them spam in my mailbox from Nigerian royals (you must have a lot!! :P)
