RE: Is It Time For Steem To Start Embracing Investors?
Could you please provide definitions of investor and profiteer? It appears there is no difference between them in your grasp of financial operations.
Is someone who participates in a hostile takeover of a public stock corporation and then forces the sale of it's assets to profit an investor? Is someone who acquires an interest in a public stock corporation and then proceeds to use their equity to improve the underlying value of the stock an investor? There is a fundamental difference between the two MO's, and the code determining how rewards are paid out from inflation attracts the former and repels the latter.
Thanks!
Hi @valued-customer
I wonder why was your comment downvoted by @iflagtrash ...
@berniesanders has a horde of bots he uses to incite pandering to his stake and censor those who refuse. I ain't pandering, so am on his list.
It's kind of cute, his obsession with me. It's flattering, but as nothing I value is harmed by his flags, it's nothing more than confirmation of the value of self-respect. We are only opposed when we are being effective, after all. The enemies of freedom don't waste their resources on opposition that does not harm them.
If you really want to understand why Bernie flags, read his account history. One of the original ninjaminers, he has significant stake and uses it to sensationalize and create visibility for his account by creating drama. He always has, and I suspect he is incapable of doing otherwise. The flagging began when I attempted to prevent flagging of one of his bots, @madcurator, from being flagged by @fulltimegeek. Somehow he twisted up my attempted defense of the manual curation account he funded with an attack on him, perhaps because I failed to pander to his stake in the process.
There is no substitute for doing your own research, and our accounts of publicly auditable.
