One Mission, Get People Here... Keep People Here
So many opinions about what is good and bad for Steem.
I stole this art, if it is yours let me know and I will send you a few steem! Otherwise sue me.
I refuse to let go of the mission that if you get people here and keep people here an economy develops.
Splinterlands is good for Steem.
BROsino is good for Steem
Casino games are good for Steem.
Jerry Banfield was good for Steem. (until he did that little sucking thing)
SE tokens are good for Steem.
High Inflation is good for Steem.
Steemit Inc is good for Steem.
Even the EIP could be good for Steem if someone spun it. *NewSteem
Curation groups are good for Steem
If we ever get SMTs they will be good for Steem.
Fighting and Drama are good for Steem.
Crying about Downvotes are good for Steem
Shit posts can be good for Steem.
It's all about eyes on the site and transactions.
People having passion and caring is good for Steem.
Some will hate the bots, some will hate the personalities, some with want to wank the chain... (play with math)
I am glad for trolls and fine with Tone Vays saying we are a scam. Please, just say our name.
People like success, people like to be a part of something growing and fun...
I don't care if it is SMTs, SE tokens, Games, Social Networks.. and I sure don't care about promoting the best content.
I want people to come and find their tribe or post their push ups or play their game or dream of riches...
I don't care what floats your boat, float it on Steem.
Shout out to SteemIt Inc for creating interest and getting crypto reporters to say our name!
Investors come where people are gathered. Yes, it really is that simple.
Gather the people, if not the ones we have... New ones.
@wahtsup: "Investors come where people are gathered. Yes, it really is that simple."
No! Investor come where can earn money. Almost everyone here avoids or don't want to hear that rule.
Investment begins with putting something in. Sometimes just money and a waiting period but angel investors have pros and cons.
Every other type of investor I've ever seen and believe me I've seen many puts time, money and effort IN usually for a period of time... before having any expectations of return.
What some of our investors are doing is creating a ponzi. We both know it.
Maybe they are just waiting for something better than upvote bots. There are some potential in STEEM apps and SMTs but none in promising people that they will earn money by creating content. Maybe for a short time, or by joining some circle-jerk club. All inflation should go to Witnesses and SteemDAO/SPS.
who is going to create the content that D'apps need to operate? There are problems with how the funds get distributed to those who create content, those need to be dealt with so the needed content gets rewarded.
Your comment is a little like saying the body doesn't need an asshole until that part closes up and wont work. Then where are you?
D'apps creator need to solve that problem, and yes he (D'apps) can reward good content. That would be a much better solution than this existing one.
right and good to know that that HF21 is going to discourage shit posting and self-voting by large stakeholders
The waiting this is what surprises me... I hear what you are saying about the upvote bots not being enough.
If I had a lot of stake I think I would consider putting out a bounty or paying someone to build something you think holds more value.
Hey it's totally up to you, but it seems that slowly watching steem lose value has to feel bad. I'm surprised more aren't coming together to do things that do add value.
Is this technically two missions, or is it a two part mission? ;D
I agree that there needs to be an increase of interaction and if that means letting shitposters post, do it. However, they don't need to be rewarded for the shitposts :)
No one deserves rewards. They should be earned.
People do deserve a chance at rewards.
Yeah, I guess my mission has two parts... They both are related to PEOPLE. Not tech, not blockchain, those things are important to a few and they do matter, but most people don't care and are tired of hearing about it.
Tools are tools for people.
I agree with these statements and think that the downvotes are necessary for the direction of the currents for the negotiation of the reward deserved. Plus - Drama ;D
Yep, I'm good with the downvotes.
I think it is silly that grown adults required CODE to protect their own interests... But if that is what they need... I'm okay with that.
Maybe it is just the way we are designed.
It seems that we are quite happy to shit in the environmental bed we have to live in and won't do anything to take care of it even as we die, unless forced. Even then, people don't want to clean up the air and water we breathe and drink.
Humans as a species are long-sight retarded.
haha, you are right.
Okay... too late to change it. Read it for intent.
@whatsup,
Anyway I like those new features added with steem, but honestly I don't like those colors of the image :D

I am curious if @steemit @steemitblog even have a plan for making SMTs better than Steem Engine tokens. I see them as basically just wasting their time on SMTs at this point, the infrastructure for Steem Engine tokens is insanely good already. I feel like having Steem Engine tokens and also SMTs would be overkill but maybe I’m wrong.
I think there is room for both and they could possibly make each other better with some in house competition. :)
I could make a case with different use cases that either could be a better solution.
Yes! I saw two articles today!
Good stuff.
I was gonna powerdown two weeks ago. Then I powered up, bought more steem, got one of my @naturalmedicine folk in charge of the facebook account, wrote a daily post, curated, played on steem engine and told my mates about it. Wtf? I was leaving! Who am i kidding! Lol

hahaha! I acknowledge all of the time that I am addicted. That doesn't mean I am buying.
I will buy when I see us getting and keeping people.
Sometimes.. often.. i think we do two things wrong:
Its bloody confusing to navigate. You need a degree to get the ins and outs. I like this.. its fun, but others dont. I like the flux, the development, the ideas. Others just see.. ooh, i can earn from writing? Then find thats a lie.
It makes a promise about earnings that it cant keep. We know why this is, but i think the strength of this platform is community amd getting to know people. Look if you dont have any money and are trying to earn a buck sure, maybe this place is useless.. but if its ONLY cash you are here for Im not interested in you staying around anyway. I like writing and the connections made more than money. I dont get that on any other platform. Even when i post my poetry on Facebook.. my Mum might comment but 400 odd friends scroll past. Lol. Maybe i should pay them.
Yeah yeah I know all the other failings but to me they come under the other 2 points above.

@riverflows: I very much agree with your points.
It would be nice if there was a user’s manual or some such thing to help the new folk learn the environment. If it’s on steemit, no clue how to find it. If elsewhere, a signpost to it would be helpful. Of course, it’s probably been in my face the whole time and just didn’t see it ;)
Let me know if you need anything. It is very much learn as you go but there are lots willing to help. It IS frustrating. A manual WOULD help! The thing is its always changing which can be fun for us oldies on steem but confusing for newbies.

Thinking if Steem survives, the community will owe you much gratitude. You are always one of my go to bloggers to get the pulse of the chain, even if sometimes you are a cheerleader. Your acknowledgment of issues at times is what separates you from the others who come off as being the dog in the fire meme claiming everything is fine.
Maybe Steemit will continue trying to connect with the community and have Eli offer you a liaison position.
Good luck with the New Steem thing. Have been quietly watching to see what manifests.
I'm a cheerleader because I love Steem.
I am also a realist and we have plenty of issues. :)
I attend every meeting I can and try to stay tuned. I am glad you find it helpful.
I fully acknowledge we are struggling with the bear market, endusers and any type of clear vision. Hang on...
Getting them here and staying is the only goal worthy of anything, agreed!
Traffic, eyes, transactions.
Only rats jump out of the boat when they feel that the boat can sink; the intelligent seek to see what can be done to prevent it from sinking and save it. Here we continue to do what we know how to do: write. Thank you for this post. ;)
