wah this is by chance or just for fun reading @markdeheide, but because your writing is true as the fact is, many parents of my friends who have known steemit, and also my own parents branded steemit is not like gambling, even though the statement has been I argue, and I explain to my parents, what is steemit, how does the system work, how does steemit reward me, where to whom, from whom to whom, but it is still not aligned with my parents' thinking, I constantly ask the rewards that I get like SBD, which I often make cash, where the money is, why they want to give money just to me, it is a question that I can not explain precisely and accurately, so that my parents understand, in the head of my parents it still ends with gambling, because no fool would voluntarily give their money, whereas there is no exchange of bargains or j just through the virtual world, sometimes I feel annoyed with my parents' thinking, but I still respect them, although they assume so, I do not want to force their times and thoughts to understand the present, I also understand it, the past and the present, will not be united, but the past becomes an experience for the present; the present is not necessarily in comparison with the past, because past thinking is more of a real world, not a virtual world.
