Continue from yesterday's gaming topic, today we will be continue how #steem is relating with the blogging interface and why people have the misconception of #steem is paying them?

First of all, you and I and most are being conned by the nice word saying we will be rewarded with our voice.everyone deserve to express themselves and their two cents will worth something(clearly, 2¢ now). I'm not complaining, I know how much SP needed to generate a 2¢ upvote.

So, don't go all around and tell people if they start blogging and they will get paid handsomely. Seriously it's not. #steem is a blockchain, and #steemit is only an interface that merely resemble of a blog editor. What's missing from a blogger website is, #steemit doesn't have category.

Now you'll be asking why are we still here if we're being cheated? Not entirely true on the cheat comment. Technically, #steem and #steemit did not cheat on us. Most of all, I guess people's greed and fear is the greatest monsters.

#steemit promised everyone of us deserve to put up our voice(in words), make a blog entry and people can upvote. In return, people's vote can be translated as cryptocurrency, and ultately cryptocurrency can be send back to the exchange and it could worth a lot when there's a bull run, and it could hurt a lot when it's in the bear market. Don't ask me how I know it, because it's already here.

Frankly, I don't know how good it was before end of 2017, there's hardly any activities other than the early adopters still doing their daily belly rubbing to get some whale squirt. But what I'm trying to say is, people tend to take the Fiat value into something they earn for free. Like for example, once you own 10steems, according to the history, 10steems can easily worth up to $40 back then but now mainly 2$.

This is exactly the reason why people stop "blogging", as they lose their passion in writing. The tagline for steemit has alway been on that. People tend to forget, we come here to have fun. Blogging is part of the game, if you can, why not play some online game. If you are a good photographer, you can join the #photography channel.

Follow the rules, and you shall get rewarded. Earn some #estm along the way with with #esteem, and every game has their rules. If you don't like #estm point, then don't use it. There are thousands of games out there you can play with, why would I see people complaint me?

In the end, this is not a blogging specialize tool. #steem is merely a blockchain running on the crypto by the name of #steem. One can play different kind of characters using different app or condenser.

I have invested too much of my time and some Fiat value to #steem and I have no intention to leave, otherwise I will looked stupid. Despite I'm not too far from stupid, I could have sell all my #steem and get the hell outta here. But, this is a game. I need my steem power to continue to be more influential to the community.

This, is a macro game that we play in the online macro economy. There's different kind of people, different kind of occupation, different kinds of dApps we can rely on. Its now a race, a competition, a challenge. Whoever earned the more steems, they're well worth more respect! You don't have to like the ugly truth, bullies are everywhere. Just like playing a computer games.
