Can’t watch the video on my crappy mobile. Wish you would type out a summary for me. Wait, maybe I should be funding that with an upvote here in the comments. Somebody?!
I'll give you a brief summary from my point of view but it's one to watch when you can.
This is one of the finest vlogs on steemit to date. Given by someone 99% of the platform can relate to, just an everyday guy who's always thinking (perhaps too much some days!) about the future of steemit, himself, and others involved here right now.
Discussed topics include:
Anonymity and a thoughts on the option to keep yourself that way if your face isn't already on steemit. (That's exyle and myself out of it then!)
Distribution of wealth via voting power (currently $30 at full power), the creation of money from nothing
Funding of charities via Steemit, or Projects of interest, wanting to know the Steem was going to the right place
Top vlog man, enjoy the sunshine while it lasts :)
CommentGigs have been a thing for me, and i suspect other newer users, especially since the zoom in vote power - If your blogs don't get the hits (for a number of reasons), comment with some thought and effort on the blogs you are interested in eh! Still, this is a one off for me so thanks again guys! And yes, it'll be powered up in a weeks time!
I can finally conclude this is my favorite video post in steemit so far. Because most of the Vlogs are about making more money and not about how to use the excess money for the welfare of the society after your needs are taken care of. Great thoughts I am from India and I am really happy to hear what you said.
You won't be able to find out directly who is in need but I am sure when there is a need in the society people who are associated with steemit can always ask for help and highlight the situation and finally donate the post payouts.
You talked about many issues in one post thus my reply will be longer, the payouts are going to come down and it's already showing. Sometime back when I watched your vlog from that time I am powering up. I too believe in it's future. And as you said some years down the line when the post payouts come down due to more n more users, then your idea of affiliate program will be handy i guess.
If you don't mind can i ask whether the ad you put up is working or not. And if it is then am I eligible to put up this or similar sort of ads in order to earn a bit more revenue??
Thank you for your nice reply. I think a lot of possibilities regarding the Steem blockchain are still not discovered. I like to think about what could be possible and share my thoughts on my blogs. If this thing grows and grows Steempower can be used for a lot of good in my mind. I do like to become financially independent. It's been a goal of mine for a long time.
Same thoughts here. i am not saying i'm perfect or saint, but want to be involved in charities to help sick children who can not afford expensive surgeries.
But well.. have to get to that point of financial stability first.
Yeah - you are speaking out of my heart. Anonymity is a big question mark as user base and especially your wallet grows.
Much more interesting I find the thought about charities or charitable organizations and how they could leverage Steemit to generate support for their good cause out of thin air (which in my opinion is not out of thin air but from people's interset - mind-blowing!). We visited a few children supporting charities around Christmas last year in South Africa. I was just sitting here listening to you and thinking how amazing this could be for those organizations. Now with this power - as you call it - also comes great responsibility if this is to be used for real case charity. These organizations really need the money and so the donated / upvoted steem could not sit on the blockchain for long I guess. They would have to pull it out and use it in their SA Rand. One day we might have food suppliers, builders, electricity providers... that run their bills / operations over a blockchain but I do not see this happening very soon, especially not in SA.
ESH - sorry for the rant. Again - great stuff - keep going.
It's my experience that people are surprisingly fast to adept when there is business involved :) I know I would be with my business. I do have hopes for a Steem blockchain economy one day with more and more user adaptation. I don't consider your reply a rant at all man, very good reply and thank you for that.
Very realistic video @exyle ! Thank you very much for the thoughts and ideas. I would say, you're really a very good person who not only think of yourself but also the less fortunate. I'm always looking forward to hear from you and hopefully with the latest trend of payout, would soon be stable. You've reached the pedestal of your earning, a regular income, hoping one day, I too can reach that place so that, I can also share to those who really are in need. Just take care and to your family. Thank you very much again!
Anonymity was the main reason for the creation of cryptocurrencies. I just recently wrote a post about how crypto developers should be anonymous. This could also apply to big players or whales like you. But then again, would you have gotten the power to create 30 dollars by pressing a button if you were anonymous?
My friend,
You will learn that not all charities are pure! You have the opportunity to find good people to support. When you find them, track them now when the steem price is low. I notice that you sometimes support your commenters. I am sure you know how to observe their past posts to see their gifts to the community over time. Everyone has a reason for being here. Look for good people now.
Hi, so if we would tell you, yes its better to ne anonymous...What would you do? Close this great blog and make another account? Please dont do that XD
Anonymity is a great tool, a powerful weapon and a great exploit if one knows how to use it and abuse it. It's both wonderful and scary thing all at once depending mainly on who uses it and how he/she chooses to do so.
Creating money from nothing. Not quite, not as I see it. It is created by some means, but people post content and fight for their share of the loot. They offer their hard work, friendly face, fun stuff or any other thing they feel that is needed and compete. Whales, and other powerful people/users that have greater share of SP can distribute and redistribute the rewards as they wish. They decide on how the loot is shared and distributed by using their power. They can use it fairly, or they can abuse it. Its up to them.
I'm investing in SP, I have a goal in mind and I'm highly motivated. So far I converted most of my earned SBD into SP. It'll take me quite some time but I don't mind, I'm having fun. I took 3 euros worth of SBD and rewarded myself with some ice cream last week.
Good post, great job @exyle.

well said.
Cheers man, just my view on a very good vlog!
xD
Edit: @exyle matched my upvote. What a stud!
Are commentGigs a thing now?
I'm a bit taken aback here! Thanks chaps!

Could not agree more!
😲 😊 Thanks mr!
You can choose to share few for me too :)
Here is some to get you started :) You'll be seeing me around lol
Bro do you even bizness?! You’re suppose to type out a summary and I pay you
xD
I'm just "The Guy" trying to get into the "dolphin's circle"... not stepping on steemit veterans toes... just waiting for my VIP membership :)
u killed it
How do we post videos and pictures of ourselves and be anonymous?
Yeah, I think we're stuck choosing. In fact, if you communicate at all online, you are probably dox'able.
With horse mask? XD
lol nice but guess no one will take us seriously
lol
That's not possible I agree. For me it's more a realisation after the fact, now that I find myself in the situation I'm in.
Some of us just don't ;)

Yes, for me financial stability is key too.

Yes, because most of the Steem I have I bought in the downtrend when everyone was selling.

*to be anonymous
That's nice of you to say man!
