RE: 20 questions with Roger Ver (Exclusive Interview)

in #life • 8 years ago

Here are my top four takeaways from this: (1) Bitcoin has as much a chance of failure as Steem, (2) i should get into zchash, (3) i bet Roger joins Steemit within the week, (4) once Roger joins the dam will break and Steem will explode.

Great interview. I just followed you @wadepaterson.

        Steem will explode

        I'd repeat what I have pointed out many times before. Dont confuse Steem with Bitcoin. They're fundamentally different. Unlike Steem, Bitcoin is a deflationary currency. But, Bitcoin and Steem together is a Deadly Combination.

        Unlike Steem, Bitcoin is a deflationary currency.

        This claim is quite misleading - the opposite is true. You are confusing limited supply with inflation - these features are not mutually exclusive. Bitcoin has a limit of total supply and has been highly inflationary. The rate of inflation is gradually decreasing but it's still substantial.

        Steem with Bitcoin are fundamentally different.

        Again, I'd say the opposite is true. Steem with Bitcoin are fundamentally similar and actually this similarity is what gives Steem a lot of credibility. The main difference is that Bitcoin spends newly created tokens on burning electricity, whereas Steem - on rewarding content creation & curation.

        My takeaway is Bitcoin will thrive and Steemit can thrive too as long as the developers are looking out for the best interests of the platform.

        I bet Roger joins Steemit within the week.

        This looks quite likely indeed. The following words are very encouraging in this respect, as Steem is the perfect answer to Roger's main concerns:

        Imagine how many other people could experience that joy of using Bitcoin for the first time if Bitcoin had been allowed to scale.

        Today, with transaction fees consistently about $0.10 and often much more, Bitcoin faucets are no longer feasible, and the Bitcoin community is missing out on this amazing tool to recruit new Bitcoin users.

        And what if Steem will ahead of Bitcoin

          would be excellent if you are correct.

            I found this 'interview' very depressing as a whole - but I'm assuming jetlag etc... He has to be tired of fighting the fight of the life long politicians who will NOT give up their grip on the 'status Quo' . Closing the central bank? Not going to happen in their world..
