RE: Truth and fairness vs popularity. What to do when a post that says another post is wrong and gets more reward than the original post, which was the one that is correct?
From what I've seen mentioned in Slack, the downvote flag is more for preventing plagiarism and identity theft than it is for voicing disagreement. I might be wrong about that, though.
@bacchist, @pigeons, and @stephencurry downvoted my blog post (linked in the OP), because they thought it was 'shilling' and incorrect information. So please go explain to them the intended use of the downvote.
Are you trolling against Steem at Bitcointalk? I've been told you are, but I haven't bothered to check myself. If you were, from that perspective, I could see some validity in the claim that this is a well orchestrated attempt to troll here as well. But I don't know, I just find this all quite interesting.
@lukestokes:
If you call analysis trolling, then yes I am doing analysis at Bitcointalk.org. Some of it is postive for Steem and some of it is critical. Otherwise it wouldn't be analysis.
@bacchist wants me to be 100% loyal. He doesn't want the fact that Steem is an exponential compounding system to be exposed. Which may explain why @dan upvoted his (or may not if @dan didn't even read it).
Interesting perspective, thanks for explaining that.
I do see a potential for a lot of downward price pressure. At the same time, I see bitcoin creating new value every day and the price holding. The difference here, I guess, is that I don't get new bitcoin just because I hold bitcoin and participate in some activity. When I have a certain amount of VESTS here, I do have the opportunity to gain more VESTS proportional to my holdings due to my actions in the system (posting, curating, etc). That seems to be the compounding nature you're talking about?
I wish these conversations could be had without so much negative emotion involved on all sides. We might all learn a thing or two. :)
(btw, I also wrote a post about how it appears Ned was making $700k a week which seemed a little bit crazy to me)
