RE: Your Resource Credits Are Full - Old Days Are Back
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.
who really need that fifty bucks instead of being forced to put it into the pockets of the upper tiers deserve
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.
So basically you don't support a meritocracy and want to be a freeloader and calls in the government when things get expensive. That's exactly what communist thieves do. I worked hard putting many hours a day on STEEM to get to where I am and you just want all that just because "wishing so hard ". That's just sick and insulting to everybody who has put honest effort to improve themselves.
So you have no respect for voluntary human interaction. No wonder you are running to the thugs/cartel/yakuza.
If you don't like something don't ruin for for everybody else through coercion. But then again you don't seem to respect voluntary interactions, NAP, private property or hard work. You are just someone who only care about wishes and spread misinformation (I assume due to you not knowing about STEEM Blockchain or Economics - I honestly don't think you are malicious enough to spread clear and deliberate lies) while complaining and telling those with a stake how to run the blockchain while conspiring with the government to bring down the world's largest censorship resistant blockchain that is spreading millions of dollars worth cryptocurrency to the hands of many even if some of those have never bought a single cent's worth STEEM.
You get a free account and calls it a ponzi/pyramid scheme when those who invested or worked up from the bottom get more network bandwidth. Yes I remember how you bitching about things and accusing those who were involved with the development of STEEM when the bandwidth limitations mattered some months ago due to high network activity. I tried to explain things to you as well as I could. But it seems that you just wanted the FREE STUFF and something for nothing or simply be engaged in the community under your own terms rather than the terms of the blockchain.
News Flash: The world doesn't revolve around you and nothing you can do can bring down STEEM although you can try all you want.
I didn't read but a couple sentences of all that blabber. I am not under any illusion I am going to be a millionaire, I am not even under the illusion I'll make a few thousand dollars, or hundreds. What I do know is that I put in a lot of hours reading, responding and voting because I enjoy what I do, blog, it's my hobby. I spend countless hours honestly and openly reading materials, sometimes research before I even give a answer but when I get ready to reply all's I want is to be able to reply. If you look over the history of my comments you'll see that this is someone who obviously just loves what she does as a hobby, if it was based on rewards I'd gave up a long time ago. You can't want something for nothing if you were never expecting something for nothing.
Now that explains your complete lack of understanding on how STEEM and economics work. When things get intellectual you just call it blabber.
Yet you couldn't bother to read a comment where I did my research and presented you writing from a real economist with decades of experience. I guess you only consider research when it is convenient and prove whatever your agenda is.
I just did and many of them are just comments where you are rallying people into reporting Steemit Inc to Federal Trade Commission and pushing for extradition of people involved in developing STEEM and prosecuting them as criminals. You are calling STEEM a ponzi/pyramid scheme and now I can see that you are not just having a conversation with me but actively trying to destroy this platform. You are biting the hand that fed you based on some technical problems during an upgrade.
This shows what kind of a person you are. You don't care how things are sustained. You don't even read an argument or learn about technology of economics ( "blabber" according to you)
I've had conversions with you before. But the recent ones are mostly just you attacking the platform and spreading FUD. You were spreading some terrible things about @canadian-coconut and @familyprotection on one of my older posts and I wasn't sure which side was right as I had limited information. But it seems that @canadian-coconut was right about you.
You may love your blogging. But anytime the blogs don't speak what you want to hear, you try to tear down the communities and even get government involved. When research doesn't fit your liking, you don't even read them.
Perfectly syncs with the attitudes you have expressed through this conversation (and some of your other comments which I'm now reading). You should read about the first female self-made millionaire in the United States. She was Madam C. J. Walker, orphaned at age 7 in 19th century United Stated as a black women born to a family of slaves. She became a great philanthropist and even after her donations and activism hr net worth at age 51 was equivalent to ~30 million USD in today's dollars.
That's a picture of her.
Just wanted to stop in real quick and see if you were still blabbering on and of course you were, I suspected such, anyone complaining on here has to be tarred and feathered if they don't conform to the community of little Stepford Wives. I just knew that you'd go into the comments and pick them apart rather then look at the fact presented to you that my participation was motivated on my love of blogging instead of monetary value. To truly have someone here who'd take what people write seriously, read links, watch videos for hours for near nothing should represent to you that what people are doing here represents a participation level of appreciation for their contributions whether they'd pay me or not should speak volumes in my support in the growth of the community. None of that though entitles anyone on here a free ride of positivism in every comment, if I chastised something it's because the facts presented itself contrary or in my own personal opinion I viewed it as wrong. Being the "decentralized" (not), censorship free (not) platform you claim to present I am still within my rights, well at least the last time I looked, to give a opinion. Just like you have the right not to agree with it.
I will admit though that I spent a awful lot of time wasted on you, your true colors coming out here on display, once again, shows you why there will NEVER EVER be a voluntarism society, you are just as bad as those whom you yourself sit in judgement of.
Thank you respectful person for your reception to an intelligent argument.
So you just demand me to accept whatever you present to me without questioning instead of actually trying to verify such claims. Sounds pretty dogmatic. Facts needs to be proven. Without proof they are just statements/opinions.
Show me. I see you trying to get FTC to set dogs on the devs and the biggest investors of the community. I've seen your Copy/Paste work and some other original content. Lots of people here produce better content.
You are free to have an opinion. That doesn't make them true. In your case many of your opinions presented are not true. Your view that STEEM is a ponzi/pyramid scheme and that Steemit Inc and whales should be fined and prosecuted is one such personal opinion of yours. You've had many of those.
Says the person who run to the government. Is this irony or paradox?
You mean free market/voluntary association is as bad as communism/entitlement? Are you kidding me or did I read that part wrong?
Either way you are welcome to read this long detailed and considerably researched blabbering (intellectual dissection) if you can stop in real quick. Luckily everything stays on the blockchain which is Decentralized and cannot be fully Censored (only obscured).
Says someone who said I was being a little bitch about something.
The question was to prove that I had spent genuine time regardless of reward reading and responding to people's post not to pick the comments apart. What you are trying to say, and is a huge pit fall of steemit is that I have to be in agreement with everything everyone post. Hence my comment that a lot of people on here expect this to run like a scenario played out on the Step Ford Wives movie. I can't count the number of times I clicked on a post then the links in the post and the links didn't even back up what the person wrote. If you looked at the comments though it was apparent that most people just took what the poster said was true, that's disheartening and shows a lack of respect for the platform that people can just twist something because they will make more money from twisting it and people commenting realize they stand a better chance of making money agreeing with it. This fits the Family Protection site to a tee, I bet this site loses thousands a year to people who will jump on there and say anything and make money off it. I could make a fake account, go on there and start screaming how I was a victim of CPS and make hundreds of dollars posting it and making follow up post over a number of months, I could bleed it out for all it's worth for a couple years until they'd finally realize something might be up with this. That's all it takes, unsubstantiated facts for easy money. There's no way of telling if those people are telling the truth but what I do know is there's been some that made publicity and I debunked them.
This is where I think you get a bit confused. Unless I am abusing the system, to which I am not, this is a site that is promoted as one where people can become invested or an investor by producing content. As long as that content fits within the rules (which all of mine do) it is only your job by choosing whether to up vote or not, but it is not your choice or anyone else's to limit the amount a person can produce for a return. What they have done in essence is say that the cost of the amount of space it's taken to run blockchains has become costly so we have to
make cuts so we will make cuts to the small investor and limit their access. That would be no different then if the top distributors of Amway said the paperwork involved in processing small investor orders of soap has become to costly so now we will limit them to ten boxes of soap a week but the top distributors can continue to order all the soap they want. Before the hard folk I could come on here late at night and into the wee hours of the morning and make all the post and comments I wanted. That's when the blockchain was the least busiest. Now I've been denied that unless I want or am forced to invest more of my own personal gain I gained from the platform for that sole purpose or use my own personal money for that sole purpose. Therefore it no longer becomes a place where people earn to post it's becomes a place where people are forced to invest for participation those earnings that were gained. You cannot guarantee that any one's comment or post will make money on a restrictive basis, it's based on the assumption that out of thousands of comments one of your ten will get notice and receive a positive return, you might as well be fishing in a lake that has dried up as a result of a drought, the results will be the same. The system has been set up to boost the bottom line of the top tier at the expense of the lower tier. To hype the value of steem at the expense of those who can least afford it.
Many of my opinions based on research are true. I understand your need to disparage what I have to say, you'd rather have people assume that everything is accurate like portrayed but what I've found is that is not normally the power for the course here. Like your "many" comments about the FTC, what do you describe as many is like three or four, those opinions in those three or four comments, as stated, came from more than a personal opinion stand point considering the FTC took me seriously. You act like I owe the top investors something when I don't owe then nothing, that doesn't surprise me when I hear many of them on here saying things like people shouldn't expect something for nothing...putting in time here isn't something for nothing, it's their valuable time contributed to make the eco system work as a whole not just to the advantage of those at the top.
I've never fell for the voluntarism line to begin with, yes I sincerely do believe that people need to be protected from people who'd take advantage of them, if having government is the way to do that then so be it.
You are oh so just digging yourself in deeper, I may have to go buy some waders my boots aren't high enough for your shit. Entitlements...you are a laugh and a half. You sir and NOT entitled to make demands that others boost your bottom line at their disadvantage.
