I already realized you like to award people who actually read your posts and people who try to have a conversation about it, and not people who just comment: "informational post, keep up the good work". Also, you're right about new users and their ambitions considering this platform. I think everyone who is thinking of joining Steemit has to first get themselves known about crytocurrency, trading etc. This is not a "get rich quick" scheme but a long-term investment where you connect with other people and (hopefully) you earn some money which is definitely a bonus.
