"There is nothing scammy about steemit/steem!"
On the steem platform you simply get paid in steem token for adding real world value to people and an economy is formed were people are willing to exchange steem tokens for real money!

I've given this some thought lately; the value of the Steem tokens (if you ask me) is stil derived off of future useage like for instance marketing on the Steemit platform. Steem is by no means a scam, but Steem tokens are stil not used in a corporate way yet. So until we reach this phase, the value of the Steem tokens can go any direction!
