The fact that it's a ponzi, which will ultimately hurt steem when it collapses. The social aspect about the gang-thing taking over... well, that seems to be a more hidden result, but I could imagine it to be as harmful to steem as the ponzi's effect. But the referrals... I'm sure you've seen how much my activity adds to your daily rewards (at least the person who used my link seems to be adding a lot mine!). But now, you're saying my rewards go to Gina? Do I know her? From your previous posts it seems like she's a friend of yours you don't like any more. So much so, that she could be a bot or something, if she exists at all.

A lot of people are going to lose a lot of Steem over this indeed, and they ain't going to be happy about it, that's for sure. I know I've lost a lot of money on them when I first got into crypto.
I'm still in debt, because I didn't think it through those first couple of days. I'm very glad I restrained myself and only invested 44 Steem. I see people investing thousands...
From Asher's post yesterday, I learned that @jacekw is updating stats about the money that is going around daily by posting comments on his original post here.
Those numbers are really scaring me, because there are going to be huge consequences once the thing collapses indeed.
I just asked for my stats to check on referral earnings. Considering you're the most active one of the only 2 active referrals I have, it contributes to the daily rewards indeed.
Lol, break even in 23 days. If the 'game' lasts that long.
Don't worry about Gina. Gina is just the Discord notification bot. I've added your name to the list of people of whom I want to be notified when they publish a post, that's all there is to it :0)
Wow! 44 steem is quite ambitious! Though, thinking about it, just about a week ago I was talking about investing 30-50 steem to jump-start DrugWars. Well, in the end I stopped at 9 steem, plus I paid 15 to THE cartel. Not counting this "voluntary protection fee" I'm actually quite close to breaking even. But that I think is comparable to getting beta booster packs as daily quest rewards. This time I'm one of the early birds, feeling pretty good, only a bit concerned about those poor suckers starting out later. My hope for steem is, however, that the game becomes a quick flop, as nothing could be worse than a huge bubble with a sudden pop! But this is precisely what I'll try to go into in my next post... whenever that may be... Send my kisses to Gina!
I think the universe has been sending me a message about the cartel lol. I've requested and clicked a Discord invite link 4 times, and every time the invite appears to be invalid. So I decided to give up. :0)
