Lovely article. Money is Steemit's beauty and ugliness at the same time.
Whenever cash creation is involved, there's always crooks and corruption to spoilt it. At the same time, the premise of creating an income in exchange for quality content is Steemit's most amazing feature. Steemit is applying the reward of monetary value to social value creation.
A double edged sword that needs skewing somehow.
The idea is always wonderful, but the practice has been a bit lackluster in my opinion.
