RE: APPICS ICO Starts In 3 Days | KYC Now Open | APPICS on Cointelegraph!
Hey man yeah you should get one back on them and post there once (if) it's up and build a stack of their tokens. However, there will be some fierce competition soon with Social Platforms that seek the Reward Users model. So content creators are going to have a lot of options. There are already many in beta, in production, in ICO, in development, in early phase et cetera.
One which I am now anticipating is EOS version of Steemit.
If that happens.... I foresee a few scenarios.
- EOS does it right, ENDS steemit. Or leaves it a ghost town.
- EOS does it right, steemit shit themselves and realizes they need to stop sitting on their hands.
- EOS does it wrong, and doesn't care.. just wants to fuck with steemit
- EOS does not do it at all, just wanted to fuck with steemit
- EOS does it right, Steemit copies, the two go to war, users benefit.
- EOS does it right, Steemit tries to do it better, users benefit.
So I don't know...
Wonder what @ned thinks.....
Even if Cryptocurrencies fade and even if blockchain becomes niche..
Decentralized or at least Distributed Rewards Social is here to stay, that's for sure.
Exactly.
The users will win either way probably because of the wild competition. I say even if Steem would hit $0.00 it still has crazy value as a platform to prepare for the future. Even as a Beta platform this underlining technology is some deep powerful stuff for preparing to what is coming. And then considering how few people that are into Crypto for the moment it’s hard to see these platform decrease in value.
Main value ATM for people is how you can easy network with high level people here. The ultra fast value transactions this is some serious next level stuff. Building real connections with people that are investors and speculators. This Blockchain tech is too good to just go away. I already feel old and dumb paying stuff with a credit card.
Since the industry is so small any other successful Blockchain company spreading the tech to the mainstream masses will be good for all companies. Win-Win situation!
Yeah I see a bright future also but there are actually some very important social and psychological changes that Human must first go through. In order for the network capabilities to be fully realized, we must all first exist as equal. Not equal in ability or equal in status or wealth. Just equal participants that the network has no bias towards.
As of current, there is clear bias. That is towards the money players. If we are to truly realize a new system of transferring value between one and other then this barrier of judging value with a monetary system is NOT a true system where value can be exchanged to ALL participants.
I recall an old post from @dantheman
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@dantheman/daniel-larimer--co-founder-of-bitshares-steemit
He talks of his original dream recognizing that a selfless society is the true place of a new system where the true distribution of reward/value is realized. That giving what you have, where you can, to those who have not, is where the true reward exists. It's NOT a monetary reward one receives in this scenario but the soul enriching knowledge that you, with your actions, created a world of opportunity where opportunity ceased to, or never existed. Value was truly exchanged form human to human.
Of course this is a Utopia of Impossible Goals almost.
Or a system of socialism which might prove unsustainable.
Nothing which revolutionizes seems logical at first though.
It's radical change that DOES bring about true change.
Although that post is 2 years old now.. I do wonder if the envisioned "steemit 2.0" has ambition to revisit that notion or will the pursuit of money still be the primary drive.
In which case.. it will just be the same shit with a different smell.
