RE: Proof Steemit is a scam and a ponzi scheme

I'll reply here as 6 is the most nesting you can do.
It's only the begging of Steem. It's normal that they hold the control.

If you choose to look at it that way yes they can run with the money and the story ends. But there is the other side of the coin too: They hold control and are able to keep the environment safe until it has grown enough to sustain itself as Bitcoin or ETH.
