RE: Fulltimegeek Talks About The Responsibilities Of A Steem Witness
$7000 is not a lot. Unless you are a socialist/communist. People in big roles should be paid more. "insane amount" have some perspective. This is not that much above a regular salary. They are being witnesses they are doing stuff.
Many are TEAMS. For most it is a full time job!
I know a Top 20 team member, of 2 people, and after all the expenses and the 50-50 split, it is not a lot of cash. PLUS, this particular witness is putting it all into powering up and not using any to live on. It's a lot less than one might think!
$7000 is nearly double the average wage and is incorrect
top witness gets 8500 steem a month
top 20 witness gets 7500 steem a month
also the average price of steem the last year is over $2.5 so its more like $16k a month top witnesses earned
in january alone average price was $4 so for january top witness earned $32k
... sigh , you know it's very unbecoming, the old-american idea of socialism dating back to the cold war , but i dont wanna get into that
$7000 is a WHOLE LOT to sit on your ass and rake in the money , its decent pay if you're fulltime at it working for a community of thousands (i dont think theres actually a million people here despite the number of accounts) , if you do that , like FULL-time then its probably like , "not bad" since you're doing what you like, but if , like a lot of what i see, i dont notice much b/c i dont walk upthere is just raking it in because you happened to come into the game with money, you set up a node, did some campaigning, like basically spent some advertising money and now just live it up , that makes it a WHOLE lot
but i didnt come here to get into politics, i just made a request @brandonfrye , where i got the mention for @fulltimegeek here
its here :
https://steemit.com/fulltimegeek/@rudyardcatling/re-brandonfrye-vote-fulltimegeek-for-witness-20180930t205446827z
i would like a total explanation, numbers, formulas, everything, if not in language i can understand then maybe even in language people who, unlike me, arent past "hello world" level yet
i would love that very much, so anyone who can provide that ?
can get my 0.03cent vote, lol :)
please keep in mind here im not interested in a row on communism and capitalism, that gets me nothing but a waste of time , i know all the opinions on the matter and they dont matter to me, the point here im trying to make is 7000 is more than i get in a year, a lot more soon, so for sitting on the same ass that's a lot, now the witnesses doing it right or doing MORE, like @yabapmatt i guess, got steembottracker, gets advertising money, wrote most of the bots (as i hear) while most people using them are just capable of using github clones AND have the money to operate it, AND got steemmonsters going on at the moment, thats gonna be a lot more than 7k a month PLUS the i dont know how many dollar click, but thats working for it :)
but i just came here to request posts explaining the numbers in the current state of the network, clearly, consisely and preferably with formulas i can use too :)
thanks
