Blockchain technologies has given the everyday person, particularly one with a little tech know-how, an opportunity to be a larger stakeholder in economies that before were not possible. People start to become emotional invested in their coin of choice and sometimes that emotion clouds their objectivity.

The topic of the OPs ETH/ETC not withstanding, I see a lot of parallels between STEEM and Dogecoin. This is a lot of people's first foray into Crypto and because of STEEM's meteoric they have only seen the good times. STEEM is going to see some bad times, market down turns and outsiders scamming Steemians down the road. I fully expect such posts as seen in the OP and raw feelings when STEEM hits its true growing pains whenever that is.
