RE: CharityCurator Progress Report | #7 | What's been going on?
Hi Starkerz, of course please add!
If I were to raise donations prior to upvoting, are these donations coming from external sources such as FIAT money or donations here on the platform?
I have 100% power-up from my rewards because it aligns with what we want to do with our mission. More than that though, do you see this as absolutely essential for the benefit of Steem as a whole?
Are you suggesting another nuance also that charities in themselves need to be profitable? For example, instead of us upvoting content that the charity then goes and spend on bananas for children in poverty, the money should go towards a banana 'farm' as it were and then grow them themselves and also sell excess to make profits? Sounds fantastic.
Best,
This is a better use of charity money. give people the ability to make their own money of course! as long as it is provable. either way, what i am saying that just upvoting people for any type of work costs the community money. by upvoting we are spending the communities money. We should instead be spending our own money, or our projects money, not the communities money. So we should bring money in to cover what we upvote before we upvote. if we do not start to do this as a community, the steem price will keep on going down, or we will keep on moving down coin market cap rankings
Sure, that does sound better.
Now you put it like that it does make more sense. Although, does that allow anyone to use the communities money at all? The community money needs to be backed by alternative sources of money coming into the ecosystem?
Best,
@charitycurator
On steem we all use there communities money by upvoting. No one can stop you doing that. But ethically, every time you use the communities money (I.e. upvote someone’s blog) you should either have already added more steem than the upvote is worth (via profits or funds raised) or will add it later from on future profits or fund raising or be working on a project that is doing that
Great. Even ethically, we can't always get everyone to act that way. So how do we create a plan to accommodate for those who don't behave ethically with the communities money?
