RE: 25 Reasons Steem Will Replace Bitcoin as #1 Cryptocurrency by 2021!
Thanks.
I'm wondering if part of what makes this all so jarring is that we are not its intended audience. What would a less-scrupulous potential investor make of that list? Are comments about 'faith' a way of telling outsiders that most of us would probably leave it too late to cash out if things turn irrevocably bad?
I don't know? Would most of us leave it too late to cash out if things turned bad?
Actually, I take that question back. Where is your faith!
LOL!
I'm not saying that's true. Like most marketing, it doesn't have to be. It just has to convince a certain kind of investor: The sort who wants to make sure someone else ends up being the bag holder.
PS: I'm a philosopher, I don't have faith.
Whatevs. You philosopher types have more faith than the rest of us. You just don't want to admit it. Philosophers are the ones that are all into law of attraction, karma, oneness, spiritual connection to the universe. That is faith, brotha.
ROLFMAO!
I don't know which you philosophers you've met, but the people I know aren't quite like that. We're more about the rigorous application of logic and analysis, questioning everything, and generally taking as little as possible for granted in terms of what is true. We can be observed scuttling to and from university cafeterias at dusk to avoid casual social contact, and are sometimes intolerably boring unless plied with copious amounts of booze.
Just because the #philosophy tag here (much like the 'philosophy section' in most bookshops) is a medley of crystal-waving, subjective assertion with no supporting evidence, and wishful thinking - so bereft of critical reasoning that 75% of it would implode at it's first brush with critical-thinking - doesn't mean that we're all like that. ;)
