RE: Response to @transisto's Open Letter
This was a step in the right direction. I would like to see haejin refuse payout on some posts. Once I see that I will stop downvoting him. Seeing him actually take time to upvote someone else, even when it's probably on for confirmation bias, to show the torcher his followers went through. That should have been his first reaction though. Helping his followers and not himself. And even if haejin's post was only making 50$.. that's enough money if it's 10 times a day, there is no need to be reactionary and upvote himself more.
Additionally during the time you pointed out that bitshares and spread would go up, every single coin was going up. You could have charted any coin to go up and it would have. There is no skill calling for buys in a bull market , and sells in a bear market.
Lastly, if the trolls cause you problems and interfere with you being able to reach your fans, why don't you just post this on YouTube?
PS: I'm one of your 'followers' so it's more than likely you have many followers who aren't following because your awesome, it's because your damaging Steem and popcorn worthy drama follows you, as it should.
Hi @puffnstuff,
I am a pretty simple being.
I for one joined Steemit because of haejin and bought some steem and am know starting to explore others content.
Isn’t that what steem is supposed to be about?
Can you explain how haejin is damaging steem in plain English?
Ya, so Steem is inflationary. Every day a certain amount of Steem I'd made. Some of it goes to the witnesses, the rest is split between all the upvotes on content. There is only so much Steem to give out though. As it stands there are 50k people on here a day, and haejin makes 5% of the total rewards every day. He makes over a million dollars a year just posting on here currently. Steem is to new and to young to be paying out any single person a million dollars a year, someday when Steem price is much higher, lots of people might make a million dollars a year on here.
Haejin has made good calls in the past, that few else did.
Also, with the trichotomy of RR bernie and haejin, if RR no longer upvotes haejin, bernieflags haejins posts to $0. Same if he lowers his vote percentage.
There needs to be an open dialogue of what amount should be deemed appropriate, factoring in similarities between other whales, how much they make, the value of the content, etc. You can say "There is no skill calling for buys in a bull market , and sells in a bear market" but that doesn't mean technical analysis isn't valuable.
I also think many would be surprised to see how much bernie, grumpy, marky and crew have scammed and stolen from the reward pool in the past, and even how much they make now with the multitude of accounts they all own. Just because it isn't as visible doesn't mean there aren't many users taking over a percent of the reward pool, or taking even larger percentages of the steem economy through different scams.
If we are to take such a magnifying glass on what haejin is earning, shouldn't we do the same for the other dozens of whales who are scamming us from our rewards?
So does a random coin toss. The plural of anecdote is not data.
okay, go create a random coin toss that randomly pick your cryptos my dude
