RE: Your Resource Credits Are Full - Old Days Are Back
I've made three comments and it's went down a little less then 9%, if I made a post I am assuming I'd be hit. My vote power is lower than I've seen it in quite some time.
The comment cost has been actually reduced by almost 20 times. It'll keep going down.
I guess what you fail to realize is is that you can't offer a opportunity to make money posting articles and making comments then give the upper tier a advantage over the lower tier , it has to be a equally sourced operation. No where do I know where a product is offered that prohibits access equally by everyone regardless of status. The Federal Trade Commission didn't brush off my complaint on that last week, so I am taking it that there is some legit concern in that aspect.
I didn't get that right. Did you made a formal complain to Federal Trade Commission? Why do you think there is any chance that they are able to do anything about something that isn't part of their legal jurisdiction.
Because they are a company headquartered on US soil, even if it wasn't Ned is the owner and a US citizen, he can still be fined and possibly prosecuted for operating a ponzi/pyramid scheme within US borders. If he wasn't a US citizen governments have a way with persuading other governments to bring people under control operating illegal schemes within their borders.
At the worst, if per say, whales living in foreign countries were found to actively engage in the decision making that created a illegal operation in the US they could face extradition to the US to face charges, at the least if there's no extradition treaty they could be barred from coming to the US without fear of being arrested. It happens all the time with various subject matters, take for example as recently as charges leveled against some living in Russia or even the Wiki Leaks debacle. When your talking a four hundred plus million dollar operation that is well worth it in fines to pursue by the FTC.
If this is how you think, then why are you even involved in cryptocurrency. You just show your lack of knowledge in both law, Decentralized Autonomous Companies and cryptocurrency. Learn economics for a second. https://mises.org is the best free resource I know. I've written about ponzi and pyramid schemes and I know what they are. You are just a frustrated individual who should either learn how things work under the hood or simply leave. Nobody is holding you. FTC has no power to bring down STEEM. I'm no legal adviser but I don't see a way legal action can be taken against Steemit,Inc apart from something Tax related.
If you don't understand something, don't start taking it to the big brother like some crying bitch over your $50. Power down and use that to pay for Netflix and chill. Stop acting like a liberal college activist.
That's half the problem on here, people talking down to people like they have no rights because they got a silver dollar stuck in their pockets and that's all they have. There's a total lack of respect for the lower tier, I've seen so many insulting remarks this past week, it's what drove me, because I know those people who really need that fifty bucks instead of being forced to put it into the pockets of the upper tiers deserve better then all the insults slung at them like their little beggers needing a dime.
The continuation of insulting and utter disregard for those who have done nothing but help feed the eco system into a viable platform is
utterly disgusting. You and those like you who sling your mightier then
thou attitudes is why there are laws protecting people, there have been a many, many people who thought they were untouchable but found out quite the opposite.
What it all comes down to is there is no lack of individuals willing to take advantage of the most vulnerable in our society, this sir is why you will never ever see a voluntarism society.
You seem to have no what a DAC (Decentralized Autonomous Company) is. Each SP you own is like a voting share of a company. You are just someone with fraction of a millionth of total shares telling what to do with the company. It's because of people like you that free markets cannot foster. You don't have enough stake and yet you demand other people what to do and go after regulators to enforce your idea on a private community. This is classic liberal SJW politics.
There is no free lunch. Demands and baseless accusations doesn't matter. I started with just 15 SP. I'm still a minnow myself. I'm doing OK after sinking few hundred dollars and earning the rest of it. I don't go crying to government big daddy (basically just a legalized cartel/yakuza) to change how a voluntary group operate. You can build what you want on your property. You have o right on another person's property.
You don't have a proper understanding of the blockchain and turning STEEM into some Marxist class warfare. This isn't any different from minimum wage protests and getting regulators to control the wages of private companies. This is plain aggression no matter how you sugar coat it.
That's just 2 massive fallacies and the sentence isn't even complete.
This is an opt in system. Nobody is forcing you to invest. If we were to expand your mad logic to real world, we'd have to make all the buses, trains and the food free because you'd be forced to pay to use them or else it'd be called theft.
You own your stake as long as you have your private keys. Nobody else is getting your funds except the normal fees than exchanges charge for their service. But there are other exchanges than @blocktrades (who does charge some high exchange fees) ------ Or are you imagining this to be some sort of an ICO? Please don't misrepresent things.
You don't seem to realize there is no such thing as a "Decentralized Autonomous Company", maybe in your mind, maybe they even allow it in your country but every company here, where Steemit has it's legal headquarters, all abide by the same set of regulatory rules. You, nor I get to tell the government/state/city/county that we are are own property and you can't tell me what to do. As much as I hate paying taxes as the next guy I'd hate going to prison much more.
When you say you started out as the same as everyone else that WAS true, that is no longer true, that's the difference, voluntary or not the governments realize there are people out there wishing so hard for a dream to come they are vulnerable to those who'd take advantage of them, it's not because people are liberal or make demands it's because they fall victim or prey to schemes and scams.
To answer your other question, it would be yes, and they didn't blow off my concern.
