RE: cyber•Fund is to launch a Russian Steem-based social media platform: Golos. Under license from Steemit Inc.
100% agree with you @officialfuzzy! Just a week ago I wrote on Steemit.com: a much needed upgrade!:
I think it's time for @dantheman and @ned to prioritize the development of a steemit.com multilingual frontend that eventually would look like this
The "long term idea" of STEEM would be to develop a multilingual frontend. If today we separate russians from steemit.com, tomorrow chinese, and the other day spanish speaking people and insist in steemit.com as an english only frontend platform but also come into fork agreements for just a language issue (issuing new tokens and all) in exchange of a deal for today, the value of steem is then eroded.
upvoting because I personally agree with you. would give more but i do not want only my thoughts to echo on this page's responses.
I only would consider to change my opinion if there is a technical reason that makes imposible for the STEEM blockchain to host a social network at a FB scale... but we are far from there.
This seems more like a cash-in deal for today with little care for the long time vision of steem. So more likely to solve a funding issue for Steemit Inc. And also about a week ago, I suggested a funding strategy for Steemit: How Steemit could learn from Ripple's funding strategy
So also I don't see it as a good funding strategy for Steemit Inc. as well...
yeh...i don't know what steemit inc thinks about this as I am not them. I wish I knew the motivation.
