The problem is that he is not wrong.
But he is also not correct.
The biggest problem isn't even Steemit.
It is that a person in the developed world has to make $30,000 a year to pay to the banks so they can have a roof over their heads.
That $30,000 doesn't go into the economy, it goes into the giant furnace that is the central banking system.
So, the pennies we are making here on Steemit are just not enough, in comparison. They are not even a very good side hustle.
Unless you think about the values of all cryptos as they will be during the actual adoption. Just getting $1000 in STEEM this year, could put you in the millionaire club. But, getting $3 a day to reach that goal seems puny.
It is very true in the grand scheme of things. @papa-pepper once said that people often talk about "buying low and selling high" but it is a lot harder to "Blog low" or "program low" or "build a community low"
Another mental factor is to see our time evaporate in an extremely short amount of time.
Wow! You remembered that?
Any word yet from Jerry?
You bet brother! I'm over here taking notes!
In a ridiculous twist of events our boy Jerry responded and wants me to pay him $49 / month to become a "partner" and then he will watch my video. I guess my upvotes to him weren't enough along the way and voting for his Witness initially when he was pumping traffic to this site.
In the end it was an idea that could have been hashed out and a last chance for me here essentially. At this point I need to focus a lot less effort here and keep focusing on other stuff.
