putting it on the ETH was a wise strategic move and i think the BTS was an indicator that the market agreed.

I saw Vays tweet storm with the annotated white paper. in our debate, it boiled down to his belief that

a) the economics could not add up because content has no value (objective or subjective);
b) it was a scam because the blockchain can't be verified to be true; and
c) his opinion is more valuable because reasons

while he may have made other coherent points in his tweets, Steem evolves around the users and witnesses use of the blockchain to provide transparency. it IS NOT supposed to be like Bitcoin because it has a different use case and a different value proposition.

we did not end our conversation on good terms. :P
