"Why Blockchain Backed Social Network Steemit Could Be The Next Evolution In Social Networking" by Oliver Braithwaite
Main Points:
- "very addictive"
- "close to entering the top 10,000 U.S. sites by traffic and it was only two weeks ago that they broke into the top 20,000"
- "posts that earn big money are simply the ones which bring something new and novel to the platform"
- "cross every finger that Steemit becomes the next Facebook. If that happens, you’ll get 10, 20 or perhaps even 30 times return on the dollars that you hold in Steem"
- "Invest in a million dollars worth of Steem Power, post anything you like and then upvote your own post" .. ya, LOL (Commenter @demotruk accurately points out how idiotic the Huffy is for saying something like this.)
Woo! Bring on that Mass Media Lovefest .. Join the CircleJerk CNN .. Fox .. CNBC .. !
That's just a little silly... Part of the point of the platform is that large holders are strongly incentivised to pro-social behaviour. Upvoting your own stuff indiscriminately absolutely undermines your investment because it undermines the platform as a whole, which you've committed to long term with Steem Power.
There's a reason you don't see @ned or @dan or the other big whales just posting and upvoting their own comments. It's pretty dumb.
.. yes, truly ridiculous .. he writes all this great hype, and then closes by calling into question the integrity of the thing. Genius! :)
seems like things are picking up
This is fantastic. I've only just arrived here myself but I can already see that the huffpo crowd are the last people we want adopting this platform. So I'm torn.
haha .. I hear ya! I did not consider those ramifications! :)
