RE: Dog walk diaries: falling for certain
"It's a pyramid scheme!"
This is always the call but rarely do people actually have a look into it. Mainstream takes time, this is just the very beginning.
I actually wonder if third and second world countries could end up leading the way in this case, because Steem can provide an income much more easily there.
This is very possible, not just as an income though. The low cost of infrastructure is a driving factor in adoption and all of this can be done with little more than an internet connection and a connected phone. Everyone has access to a bank 24/7 without there ever being the need for a banking institution.
A pyramid, yes - but not what people use the word for usually. I'd rather say it takes a pyramid of efforts before you reach success in your field. I am sifting through quotes because of a project of my own and I found something well said by a person who is famous for saying things well:
'Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.'
― Stephen King
So with any platform. I think I'll take the time to write some very lengthy post about effort and the get-rich-quick scheme that everybody is warned against, still a lot do fall for.
Most people want the peak without building the base. What they fail to realise is that the base is not only where all the work is done, it is where the least amount of return is received. It doesn't matter what the skill is, the foundation takes, time, effort, perseverance and a lot of failure; which is why so few make it to the summit.
It's often pointless pointing out that this would make fiat currency a pyramid scheme too.
