The value of a free speech platform such as SteemIt is that everyone has a respectful right to their own opinion. Personal or malicious attacks should be unwelcome and be downvoted. However, I am just respectfully expressing another viewpoint.

Imagine if BitConnect said "Hey everyone, please invest in us! (But if you keep saying bad things just go away and leave us alone!). Well, that's called deception, and censorship is the best friend of deception and fraud.

Not calling you a fraud by the way, just saying that opposing viewpoints and the free and open flow of information is vital to our society. Peace.
