The most important problem I see is the volatility of the prices of Steem coins, the basis of the system. In one month, the price of STEEM and SBD can be doubled or reduced by half, so the same situation applies to your income.

Another problem is the need to learn too much to use the environment properly. It is not reasonable to expect the end user to make such an effort to learn a platform.

Additionally many complain about the domain of the investors in the system. Thanks to the high power of STEEM, there is a select group that can distribute a large amount of rewards and become popular along the way. Of course, it is important to bear in mind that those who invest in the platform are aware of the great financial risk they acquire.

Some invest in the Steemit system with money and others with our work. So we'll see how much we can recover in the future. Perhaps the trip itself is as important as the final reach. For now I enjoy this trip in the first row.
