Steem can't do anything is there are no buyers (investors). Real authors don't need charity from @acydio or some random whale from "premine" period. They need a good platform like Medium. @Yanggang can't do anything that he promised if he doesn't take that money from others. Would you give me your money, sir? I don't have any plan to work because I'm too lazy and I hate rich people. 1000 USD monthly will be enough for a start. Of course, I will need much more money later.
