RE: My Design Alteration Idea for the 2019 Steem Silver Round - Turning Seaweed into REAL Weed (UPDATED!)
Thank you for your input, and I will agree with that, but cannabis enthusiasts do in fact encompass a large portion of Steem users, and the edit is only for a small part of the coin.
Photographers, travelers, epicureans, homesteaders, gun enthusiasts, and musicians also “encompass a large portion of steem users”. Singling out one steem community above others on the round feels inappropriate to me.
Perhaps designing a token (silver or otherwise) specifically for your community would be a fun project?
I am not trying to be a pain (though I am being a pain 😬). We have differing opinions and ultimately the community will decide.
Thanks for your enthusiasm for the round and your desire to make it a great product.
For photographers and travelers sure (although posting photos exclusively is not really what Steem is about), but there are not really a ton of gun enthusiasts on the platform (at least not outspoken ones), and unfortunately the number of homesteaders and musicians has significantly dwindled lately (as a musician and prospecting homesteader I have certainly noticed the severe drop). This idea came about because i felt that was the one part of the design that could do with improvement, and also because they were already so close to depicting cannabis leaves anyway, they have the correct number of leaf segments - its calling for it. The Steem cannabis community and precious metal enthusiasts are still in mass numbers on here (and many of the precious metal peeps are also cannabis peeps) - and do in fact represent an actual large portion of the community - for better or worse.
Anyway, I do appreciate you representing the opposite view on this topic, as I anticipated that there would be a few non-canna enthusiasts that disagree - which I respect (I am a huge proponent of stepping up to have your belief's heard, even if its controversial - hence this post). This is a community round and you are absolutely right that the community should decide. In the end, it is fun to play around with these ideas even if nothing comes of them... I loved this fantasy version from last year
