RE: Is @dStors A Steem Application?
I appreciate how you wrote about this in very clear and precise words. I guess some investors were not clear on whether dstors was 100% on Steem or not. Hence, i appreciate the post by whatsup and your response to it. Here's to hoping they get professional PR people on that account.
I did write a few lines as comment to her original post and i'd like to share it here.
Good to see a post such as this.
The Whitepaper did state that the project is cross-chained and will accept several other tokens/cryptocurrency. Namely Steem, WLS and BTS. with options for Fiat. Hence, dstors had nothing to hide from the onset.
Also, I don't see anything wrong with this post. In fact, I think it is timely because it brought to light what a lot of investors might have missed in a hurry. Dstors is not entirely a project 100% on Steem. It is cross-chained and has its tokens on bitshares. @whatsapp has a point!
However, that Dstors isn't entirely on Steem doen't make it any less legitimate. In a way, value is created indirectly since people can spend their steem there. More people can learn about this platform on dstors too when it is operational.
However, the whitepaper model doesn't exactly state how dstors will direcly bring in monetary value to steem. We need buyers on here. So, other than getting upvotes using STORS (which is a way of taking from Steem) i do hope the project buys steem from a part of their earnings and powerup over time. I also hope to see sales contests and promotions that subsidize fees for users when they trade using steem.
Likening dstors to DLive is not relevant. Dlive was built on Steem and left anyways. Doesn't guarantee dstors would. It's a service. A business.
Name callings aren't exactly the right way to go with this. I think whoever is behind the comments from the @dstors account should be disciplined by the @dstors Team because he/she lacks the insight to see an opportunity to clarify questions. It was very wrong and it raises concern about the character and professionalism of the people behind it.
I have read the whitepaper and i delegated because i think it's a great project. However, i'm not completely skewed or emotional when investing. So, I am open to discussions and looking forward to your full review to get a different perspective on the project.
You can never be too careful... Also, because decentralization and the free will to air opinions.
At least they're working on building something, which is more than i can say for the numerous shitty upvote contests on here with zero value and outrageous rewards.
