RE: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE STEEM COMMUNITY - What Do You Think of Steem Basic Income (SBI)? [steem] [blockchain] [community]
I have owned 20 SBI for a long time, and never get a vote from them. Neither has anyone I sponsored. I've tried to contact them but their posts are outdated, links broken, and responsiveness poor.
From my perspective, it's a votebot by another name. Same basic idea... you loan them your money, they use it, and they pay you some of the return. They are running an unlicensed and unregulated investment company, and at some point will be subject to inspection of their books. Hopefully I get my money back at some point, and I'm compensated for opportunity cost.
Thanks for the reply @drutter I have not had any problems with their voting, and have received replies, albeit a little slow. I think it is a small group running this project which I believe is supposed to be mostly automated. I think discord is where you will reach someone the quickest.... it is probably one of the most favored crypto chat rooms online, discord itself that is. I have recently learned that through Discord and the SBI channel you can find a buyer for your SBI shares if so desired. Anyhow, with all the recent Steem/Tron news, this might not matter, but who knows except Justin Sun now.
It's good you didn't have to deal with the same problems many others have. Perhaps you own a fairly large stake in their operation, or they're afraid of your large SP stake and good reputation around here? I feel like they screw over and ignore a lot of the smaller people because they can get away with it. But yes, now who knows what will happen with it? And with everything else? It's a bit messy now.
Hey @drutter I wanted to make sure before I replied, so I did check, and I am not sure if you are aware but steem basic income has upvoted your posts before.... not sure if maybe now that the price of steem has gone up it can vote on your posts or not but it has done so at least twice in the last week, I didn't check before that.
I personally like sbi for this reason. Now I will be sending you some too because it does work, and should I miss your posts, it will be there in my place. Now since you only have 20 sbi levels/shares (for now) it will only vote about .03 cents worth per week or something like that ( also steem price depending). Now if you have more it will increase. Should you send SBI to others, then again your shares will rise too. I don't really use sbi except for a select few which is my form of vetting someone. Anyhow, lots of stuff to ingest for now, so we'll see where this all ends up. Take care.
Hmmmm.
I thank you very much for the information, and for the shares! I'll give it another chance and find out how it goes. :) I appreciate you finding the data and writing it up!
Thanks @drutter for the open mind.... now it we can just get our favorite downvoter to do the same.
You need to contact them on Discord.
Thanks for the info.
I didn't have to use 3rd party software to enrich them.... in fact there are several automated and easy ways to do so now, from various front ends, apps, and sites. It's super easy to give SBI your money. But no way to easily or automatically opt out.
