RE: Explained: Why Aren't More EOS Token Holders Voting? (...and Why They Should)

in #eos6 years ago

I'm sorry you feel frustrated. I've been working hard to help with education such as http://understandingblockchainfreedom.com/ because I do understand not everyone is a technical person.

Could you help me understand which parts of my post were difficult to understand? I'm always trying hard to explain things in simple terms and if I didn't do so in this case, I'd like to now how I failed so I can improve.

I hear your argument, I really do, but please also understand people are constantly asked not to invest in things they don't understand. That's a basic rule of investing. Many, unfortunately, skip that rule because of the promises of huge returns that cryptocurrencies bring, even if the projects are in very, very early development stages and are not yet ready for mass adoption.

In the early days of the Internet, people didn't understand what all the neck-beard hackers were doing then either. The cryptocurrency space is like the Internet in the mid 1990's. Most everything was hard, confusing, and complicated then too. We're very early on here and all of us are working very hard on many things, often giving up sleep and "normal" social lives to do so. I wrote this post about 2 years ago which may help bring some perspective. This stuff is really hard, and we're moving really fast. Once the base foundations are in place, later we get Netflix, but not before. EOS will get there. Much of what we have now was built in the last 30 days. Things are moving very fast, but we also need to give it some time.

That, and education. That's always the key, even if it's out of our comfort zone.

People think "EOS" should do this or that, but many are starting to realize "EOS" is just a bunch of independent people, trying to make things better. It's not like many projects which have a core team which controls every aspect of the system. Block One still builds the core code (for now), but they are not (yet) involved in anything else. As I mentioned in my post, they have promised us secure wallets, but we don't have them yet. It's very early in this whole process.

By all means, vent your frustrations as they are valid. The cryptocurrency space doesn't have a Steve Jobs yet to make everything simple (and by that I mean hide away the complexity that is always really there).
