RE: Should We Be Concerned Most Steem & SBD Trading Volume Is Korean Won?
Unlike the complainers you mention, I was warned not to expect much in the way of earnings or views until after months of networking and posting, so I'm not even slightly disgruntled. I find the site fascinating and enjoyable. Connecting with people on it is a thrill. It will not surprise me when site-related cryptocoins gain in value.
However, you just said something that took me aback. "I check the poster's wallet and most of the time they have 40 or 50 Steem Power, mostly delegated when they opened the account - i.e. they have invested not one single $ of their own money"
Hmm. I def had to invest some of my own USD (via ETH) before I lifted my Steem Power past 40. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm fine with making that investment. But I wonder: If I had complained, and if one of the complaints you saw had been mine, would you also be presuming about me that I had not invested anything?
Hi, there is no need to presume anything on the blockchain. I can just check your wallet and see your transfers of STEEM and SBD from Blocktrades.
If all new users did the same it would be great for the price of STEEM, it's a shame that most don't
I would definitely recommend continuing to purchase more and powering up whenever you can - it's much more enjoyable as your vote value increases, and hopefully it will turn out to be a good investment
