Please for the love of Puppies, sell your votes!!!
When we are done fighting each other on jealous orcas and whales maybe we can look to get something done and market to the rest of the world that isn't one of the 2500 people who hold Steem.
If you think the rest of the world didn't come because they are sad about whether or not you sell your votes... (insert so many face palms here)
Sell them don't sell them... change the math.. Yawn... nothing will change.
Because no one knows we are here. We spend all our energy fighting internal battles.
I think you might’ve projected too much into some of our motivations and demotivations here. The ultimate foundations are maths and logic. Markets learn over time, and nobody except fools will park loads of money into something that doesn’t make sense on a fundamental level. Getting more onboard is the easiest thing to do with celeb marketing at some point when things are more mature under a minimally functioning economy.
The rest of the world didn’t come because the microecons here is out of whack and the misalignment is causing more misbehaviour than necessary, dropping us out of top 1000 web traffic. It’s straight up not working as a content discovery and rewards platform, which arguably is the only edge Steem has. And numbers matter in design, not in absolution, but in relation. If Earth is orbiting an extra hundred thousand miles away from the Sun or rotate a little bit quicker, we’d all be frozen by now.
I agree there way more things to do other than arguing about this, coz it’s a very low bar problem that ought to have been rectified much sooner. But to say nothing will change from intelligently designing the incentives and disincentives is kinda ignorant..
Nah, people didn't look to invest and walk away... They didn't come and they aren't going to... Because they have no reason to.
We haven't done anything interesting, We haven't built anything and all of our stakeholders are either not here or trying to figure out they can stack more than the others.
We both know there is no external reason to do this. 2500 people fighting over the inflation and hoping someone else will promote or reward those who are actually trying to make this work.
I'm for the change, but to pretend it will bring in outsiders is ignorant.
Coz the microeconomics ain't right here. Everyone new coming in has a much higher likelihood to leave because of it. The fix isn't something that'll automatically bring outsiders of course, but a functioning content discovery and rewards platform would by far do the most work.
That's the explanation and solution to your concern / observation over what those 2500 people are doing. Just about everyone's here to make money, and telling people to stop being greedy doesn't work. It's just a simple economic alignment problem..
2 billion people on social media and a handful here. People and companies putting billions of dollars in.
lol... Macro Economics. I'm not telling you not to be greedy... Please be more greedy.

Nice of you to stop by once in a while to make threats.. (sell them already, no one will mind)
The investors are not passengers, want to improve your investment? That's cool! Do it!
