RE: My Announcement March 15 2017
Is it really a good deal? With the downvoting going on, whales won't be able to earn from curating, so why should an investor buy if some spiteful person is going to downvote his curation awards away?
Whales can still earn and speculate: buy low and sell high as @jacobts say.
If earning from curating is no more feasible I think it's good for Steemit as a social blogging platform.
Curation (before experiment) makes bots and whale earning, but it destroys the meaning of upvoting. IMO upvote should mean "I red and I like it", not "I automatically vote based on patterns / rules" or "I think more people and bots will vote this". This way of curating kills the social side of Steem(it).
Good point. It is . Respect. Pero mi opinion is one of balance. I am not looking at this strictly as an investor, a speculator, or more importantly as a customer. I agree right now things are not perfect, it is the wild wild west of a one a year old baby start up. THIS is the most exciting time to get in. Investing 101 is buy low sell high, so now it is low. A new user doesn't want to get in on Facebook when it is the norm, no, they wan the edgy uncertain Snapchat. And a speculator does not choose the steady Amazon Stock rocket to scalp, but looks for volatility. It is the uncertainty below these waters that makes this ocean of opportunity appealing. If one wants peace of mind, yes, there are safer yards. But if one is looking for raw potential then Steem offers many a rewarded outlet of expression. Even with "flags" (which i believe will die out as a feature) one is still rewarded more than a tweet or a facebook post or a snapchat. Tis just my $.02. Dan participated in this creation, for that I am thankful. Now if we can just get our friend's phone numbers approved, then little by little there will be more users. Then little by little the investors will see what comes of this potential. WE, you and me and all those with accounts, have an opportunity to work a little better together. WE can communicate with @Ned and the gang a little better. WE will see what happens next. Stay in touch Rose! Be well.
