RE: How to STEEM: The Advanced Guide
Great article this - I always appreciate a good post on which metrics we should be using to measure progress.
Nice graphic too.
It's odd isn't it that somewhere around 10 000 of us make Steem the most insanely reflexive social media platform - then there's the majority of passive users who are just here for the money.
We just need changes which reward all of the four things you mention here more, rather than passive investment, or at least striking a better balance.
Difficult to do which I guess is why HF21 is creating so much drama as it's a fundamental rebalancing!

I think Steem will always be split between Users/Workers and Builders/Investors. I don't think we should fight this. In order for this system to be healthy, we have to be profitable while people are making positive cash flow out of the system.
For this place to have value for the user we can't have the expectation that everyone will invest in it, they won't, more than likely the majority won't. That's why I think the moves to rebalance the author curator split are the correct move.
If Steem became popular and all the users were just selling, we wouldn't be growing, so I think we have to push more to the curators as these are the people holding stake, and I think of them sort of like a distributed treasury.
