Are you promoting STEEM soley as a 'thing' where you can make huge amounts in short times?

I think you completely misunderstood @dollarvigilante 's message. He said just the opposite.

All he said is this:

• Steem is great as it allows you to leverage your existing reputation.
• On Steem you cannot expect to make big money quickly, unless you already have a reputation (and reputation is earned through hard work).

So no, he's not promoting Steem soley as a 'thing' where you can make huge amounts in short times. He never said anything like that. This is just how you interpret his message.

Your interpretation of @dollarvigilante 's message is flawed, not the message itself.
