The likelihood that I could exit scam without serious financial and/or legal repercussions is zero.
Exactly. It can't be defined as a pyramid scheme.
Hell, STEEM itself has a powerdown system in place that prevents people from jumping ship overnight anyway.
@josephsavage you've also been 100% open, clear and responsive this entire time. I'm actually impressed you're still here considering the post '17 crypto winter continues. SBI has contributed SO MUCH to this platform, all for the better.

Spot on, @dirge. The @steembasicincome program has been (volunterily?) misunderstood by this troll and his friends. People make an investment through it and expects a ROI. I've always heard that whales can do what they believe is good for defending their investment, being the main stakeholders and backbone of steem, including selfvoting and circlejerking. We are stakeholders in the steembasicincome program and we just defend our initial allocation of resources. Then there's the other face of the medal which is that of solidarity and basic income vision. I believe that Steem is pure turbo-capitalism and, hence, the unavoidable inequality. @steembasicincome is a legitimate correction where the many join together.
