RE: Why I 'Steemit' like I do / Win a 100% upvote from @teamsteem!
It might be hard to tell right now, given all of what goes on around here, but I believe in the long run, your strategy of no self-upvoting, commenting, not selling your vote and delegating to responsible users without charging will be a winning strategy.
Posting, commenting and curating without any other means (bots, or other revenue streams) is how this platform was designed to work. I commend you, and anyone else who is trying to keep things as they were intended, which in my mind, also keeps them simple.
Hi @glenalbrethsen
Thanks for your words of encouragement here, I hope you have a little time to check out the links in the post too, as it sounds like your way of thinking is in line with the co-creator of Steemit and others mentioned above.
I believe and hope the same also, I guess we'll just have to wait and see :)
Thank you!
I have checked them out. The interview with Dan in particular is pretty inspiring. If we can settle our differences here on Steemit so we can get out of the way of our own self-interest long enough to let the blockchain to do its thing, then the natural course of this is unprecedented global freedom and prosperity.
If not, then even as incorruptible as the STEEM blockchain is supposed to be, it will not reach its potential because we didn't.
That doesn't mean, however, that some other blockchain with better self-governance won't figure things out. It would just be a shame with as much potential as I believe STEEM has that it would not be the one to give governments, fiat, control, centralization and corruption the run for their money.
Very true, it is down to how the collective choose to act. Together this place could be awesome, but many have opted to take a different approach, as is their will.
I agree with the last point, if this one doesn't get out of the gates, another might :)
