RE: The narcissism of small cryptos
I am hoping that the coming development built upon hivemind, communities and powered with SMTs will take people into consideration more, now that the economics are working better. THe focus should shift towards building compelling and emotionally rewarding experiences for users, not just attract based on reward.
It is a trial and error process though, and many will never choose to take part, although they will be happy to take credit and reward.
I am also hoping. Many people doesn't understand what means to develop a project and develop a community, and doesn't seem to enjoy just to be part of it because they like to connect to others. So how do we attract the people who want to just connect through making a better world? Big question and the answer would be to remove the rewards, but that goes in contradiction with what steem is and what is trying to achieve.
Maybe money and community can't be friends.
I think it is about adding more rewards. Applications that people love with SMTs that help people feel value in the process. Tokens don't have to be salable, just valuable to the users. Karma points are worthless yet people collect them, players collect ranks playing various games - they are all tokens of some kind.
