With the proposed Hardfork coming up at some point I can see many people crying saying Steem is hard to earn. I think it is great as you should all have to work for your Steem. There is no easy Steem and when Steem is easy to earn then there is something wrong.
Like most things in life if something is easy then it holds very little or no value. Why would anyone invest if Steem was easy to earn on the platform. Users invest into their accounts and power up because it is that difficult to earn.
The proposed hardfork is going to dilute the reward pool as a percentage is going towards development which is a good thing. We all want this place to do well and Steem to hold value and the only way to do that is to develop the platform attracting more users and possibly a few businesses as well.If we could compare this to anything else outside it would be that of a building site with loads of construction happening.
This is why it is important to grow and get as big as possible as we all know the more you have the easier Steem is to earn. That is why it makes no sense why others have parked their accounts and have vacated this place. By the time they return everyone else has grown and will have other advantages like holding Pal and many other tokens.
One thing I firmly believe in is if Steem is hard to earn then the value has to rise which is great for all of us holding Steem.
