RE: A suggestion for the wizards of Steem-engine.

in #steem-engine5 years ago

I personally think it’s fine. You will always have people sell and those that want take risk as well. I think it comes down to a project filling a needed space.

Tags are getting quite crowded. Some people use to really struggle to use all five they could. Now with the direction things are going you could easily use 10 and even for some that would not be enough.

It’s great there is new things going on and people trying to solve what they imagen the things to be like making their own platform. The short term issue is there just not enough of a population and things are getting more and more segmented.

The biggest issue is going be diversity of distribution. Many would say Steem is very top heavy. Yet if you look even when people are given coins for free over the short term like Palnet. You will have people who want sell for an easy profit.

Than you have buyers who end up with a large stake and things not being as diverse as many are trying to solve for. In a year from now when the buyers have been buying the entire time it will be interesting to see how things went down for these other platforms trying to solve that issue. It's just an issue crypto has early bird gets lots of coins and once something is proven you have a massive amount of people all fighting over the remaining crumbs.

I think transparency is more important than trying turn airdrop into a guessing game. I could tomorrow make my own platform and coin but airdrop over next year 100 quadrillion coins. First starting off with only a million and aggressively increasing that once the first month has passed. That would sure not make investors very happy who bought at 2 cents a coin.

Sort:  

True, yes undeclared inflation is a great way to deter investment; the unannounced extra drops would need to come from a declared allocation, like 'Founder' or 'Development' or some such.
Playing games keeps airdrop recipients on their toes, but playing stupid games keeps investors away.
We need to stop treating recipients like investors. They're potential hodlers until they're hodlers.
