RE: Connect With The Blogging Business Community And Gain The Trust of Blockchain Influencers...
So far I have limited myself to read with joy the articles of the good friend @dorbatim enjoying his daily support and great advice for the good of the community and I say so far because I read that you had written "suggestions accepted". I hope this my suggestion does not get me in trouble with anyone but I see a problem that no one else seems to notice. To that effect I want to raise two important points:
1.- STEEM As far as I know is brain test, not investment test.
2.- Investment/reinvestment is necessary to ensure solid growth.
The problem:
There are ill-intentioned investors who have a considerable amount of SP both to generate daily articles worth more than 2k steem (no matter what they publish as they get their income from their own SP delegated to some bot), These profits are withdrawn from the platform almost instantly generating selling pressure and hindering the rise of STEEM's value.
I question: If that seems normal to us when other articles of high quality do not reach 10 STEEMs then we admit that it is more important the investment than the content (even if the investor becomes a great potential seller) and if that is the case please ignore my message.
But if we all see it as a problem then I bring a possible solution:
Limit the amount of rewards an article and user can have on a daily basis (to a modest value), this is something that immediately affects all large SP holders, but if we consider that the limit will be based on STEEM and not $ we all really anchor ourselves to STEEM and fight for the price increase, then the maximum profit in $ would increase if the STEEM price increases, the abuses committed by the big SP holders would decrease, we would also limit the amount leaving the platform which would contribute to the price increase in favor of all.
Investment is good when the investor is not loaded with bad intentions, but if this is the case, what are we doing to protect ourselves?
Maybe I'm saying crazy things but the fact that you said "ALL suggestions are welcome" has encouraged me to bring this idea to you.
Thank you for your comment and ideas.
I made a post about it, he will be released in the morning.
Brain test depends on the investor in the purchase - Steem value depends on it!
Because of these investors delegating their SP, Steem value is growing. They invest and reinvest, specifically the Koreans in the first place, we should be grateful that they raised the value of Steem.
In capitalism, it is normal for investors to earn the most, they invest the most and they have the greatest risk. What if the price of Steem drops to 1 cent!
The problem is that people who have not invested in Steem do not have a sense of what a loss is, they easily get money and spend it easily because they have not invested anything in essence, while investors value their money and earnings very much.
If we limit the rewards, then we can lose investors, and Steem value depends on them !. Nothing means 100,000,000 users to us if none of them invests money. How much would Steem be worth then if there was no money in circulation?
No one wants to sell Steem when the value grows, that’s why investors have given their money.
If there are such, then it is a very small number of users. The point is to find a balance, to keep the money flowing, to keep the value growing, and not to work on the masses - we are not Facebook and we do not sell advertisements !. The point is that here we have the basic logic of business, supply and demand.
And I sometimes feel bad when I see a selfie or a text of several lines that has 1000 sbd, but I know that it is much better than not having investors, because then now none of us would be here on the platform.
I clearly understand your point of view, regarding that the STEEM system is perfect because it allows investors to get a 50% profit as curators, so if they invested so much to give a reward of 2000USD for votes they will receive a profit close to 1000USD, that way they reward others and they are rewarded (everyone wins) and the platform develops in a healthy way, any investment in cryptocurrencies is a risk. The price can drop to 1 Cent or it can rise to 100USD, I see no difference between autovoting and delegating to a bot all your SP so that your very low quality items are rewarded in a big way. Investors can profit without harming the platform because the system is designed for that, limiting item rewards is something that has vaguely occurred to me but alternatives should be sought. I am not against delegating some SP to get rewards but if you delegate everything then what is your commitment to the content creators...and the price you raised yesterday with your investment you will bring down tomorrow with your sales, what is the point then?
I am not against investors, I am against abuse and bad intentions that damage the platform.
I hope that many investors will come and discover how beneficial STEEM is to their business but in a healthy way. Whoever promotes nothing and supports nothing but himself how can he say he is part of a community?. What was the intention of your investment?
But it is a delicate subject that I prefer not to touch any further, I'm just a little fish in a huge sea.
I look forward to reading your article tomorrow!
You are a big mistake, if they just vote they don't earn 50%, they only earn Steem who goes to Steem Power and Tron, when they make posts they earn as much SBD and he is 8 times more valuable than Steem. So they earn 8 times more as authors than as curators!
You are quite right about that in the fact that I had not considered that factor.
But I never said don't publish, you can do it with effort and quality articles that other users can value and support, even in terms of using your SP you could delegate a part to a bot that rewards you.
The problem is when you delegate everything, you send a clear message saying you don't care about anyone else here. The trend is the front page of STEEM, if we fill it with content poor articles full of big rewards what image are we showing to others...what is the first thing a potential investor sees when they come to the platform? The trend, then go check it out and tell me if you think we are very attractive.
I thought you didn't support people who only think about themselves.
Imagine TESLA makes such a big investment that he raises the price of STEEM to 10USD, but being already on the platform he doesn't promote his products, he doesn't care about the users but daily writes an article without effort because he knows that with how much he bought he can reward himself and he starts to take daily 20k STEEM out of the platform.
As the price is now high a new investor cannot buy as much with the same amount as he does now. The selling pressure increases and the price starts to fall gradually.
We must decide how STEEM represents a business for investors. Whether it is a cow we have come to milk or a community in which we have come to promote our products as investors.
What makes the platform attractive is the creation of high quality content rewarded by those who give value to that content.
If you agree with what they do then I respect your opinion as you respect mine, I just wanted to leave a comment because @steemcurator01 asked for suggestions and it seems to me that this user is doing a great job in the community.
But I know that further digging into the subject may even bring me problems because I am touching the interests of powerful people. So for now I already gave the opinion I wanted to give and I prefer to close the topic until one day I bring as much investment as them and I can demonstrate with facts that things can be done differently. Thank you for giving me the privilege of being read and answered by you, a person I admire.
In the time of small Steem value, everyone escape? Why? Because of money, earnings, not because of quality content! Money bring attention not quality post. Maybe for 5-10% users, but in the end everything depends from money! Milking = selling Steem, not earning Steem.
Criminals and drug traffickers make a lot of money! But that does not mean that one should abandon the honest and dignified way of earning money to earn more by harming others. There are many ways to make money here, good and bad.
The bad ones give more reward with less sacrifice but damage the platform.
If we kill the goose that lays the golden eggs there will be no more eggs.
Money is extremely important and attractive but we must procure it in a healthy way, without harming the source that supplies it and without harming others.
Check what users who have daily items valued at more than 200SBD (x8, +1600STEEMS) are doing with their rewards.
Imagine - somebody invest 100 000$, other user $0.. Make the same earnings. Somebody live in Venezuela, Somebody in Germany. Equality is so beautiful, I talk about legal business! Comparation is totaly wrong. A lot of users make 10 times more than monthly salary, with 0 investments, this is not something awesome! This is only because of investors, not because of quality posts.
If you mean Koreans - Koreans invest money in Steem, make money from Steem, and make reinvestments in Steem Power.
Yes sir, whatever you say. End of topic!
I didn't want to mention you but maybe you should read this to clarify your concept about Venezuela and its people.
