Reason why most people haven't adopted Crypto in Africa especially, Bitcoin became popular over here during the days of MMM saga and people still see it as ponzi not just steem. Steem is the next big decentralized social media platform that the world will queue in soon
Read your post, then read @pagandance post and your comment there and his comment back.I bookmark steemit post. I search for things with the steemit search. I have commented on post that are over a year old, and I have gifted steem to some of those same post that are past payout, not a hard thing to do at all.
The censorship issue on steemit, steemit can block post, so can all the other front ends. This is actually a needed function and ability. I have not seen nor heard of any true abuse of total blocking of a person. A few have been blocked by steemit on their front end access point, note it is Theirs, they do have to worry about legal issues, court orders a person post blocked or made invisible, it is not steemit that censored them it was the court system.
We have all seen what youtube has done recently. No one likes the flag issue, a disagreement on rewards should not go against the poster, but on the person that gave the excessive reward. ie: remove the equivalent amount on the givers rewards. No loss to the pool then.
Anyway, I thought it was a good rant, I myself very rarely watch youtube videos, and did not watch any of the videos mentioned in either post.
one last thing, as far as I know and from what I have read, Dan left under amicable circumstance to get going on his next dream project, not because of a twit.
It is difficult to compete on this platform, we should only keep in it all the faith that many of us have placed in steemit, I believe and I am sure that it is worth continuing in it.
I always remain firm and I will continue betting on steemit. I regret that there is always some unequal way in everything. But sometimes I think, you just have to try harder to achieve what you want.
I am always promoting steemit in my classes and I see that only because of the restrictions that we have in my country for reasons of electric power and Internet connection and many more Venezuelans would be in steemit even though there are a lot of Venezuelans but I am sure that there would be many more
I hope I won't sound silly if I ask you: who the hell is Blake Letras? :)
ps. do you really believe in ETH? Somehow I think old good days are already gone for this project. I see it the way I've seen yahoo - it simply does exist.
Personally, I don't like seeing whales, I wish everybody just treated Steem like a social platform and not an investment and had around 500 STEEM or less (preferably less) powered up.
I think that some maximum voting power should be introduced, to ensure that whales do not absuse this platform the way they do right now.
We cannot restrict people from investing in STEEM, but their power should be restricted. I think voting power should from the beginning be build similar way to reputation. Meaning: it's easy to grow at the beginning,but with time more and more "resources" is needed to make any difference.
The 20 + 1 Witness system is stupid
Interesting. So in your opinion we shall have 1000+ witnesses?
I rather like 20 :)
I hate the concept and agree that it is a form of censorship called financial censorship.
Dear @hobo.media, as long as people continue to trust in steem I think that this will continue to grow. I also think that every time it is more difficult to grow and this has made many people leave the platform, onestam, enmte not e proqure, tel because it is not profitable but hy many people who still rely on steem. It would be good to see changes that would give us a bit of equality to everyone, but that remains to be seen. Everything is a game of financial power.
Interesting post. I don't think Steemit is a scam, I'm sure most people in my country live off publications in Steemit. How can this be a scam when it can help support a small family here in Venezuela?
That has a very low value and does not attract the attention of investors? I'm sure that will pass. By the way, will anyone have the statistics of use of this blockchain? How many publications, comments, votes, and transactions are made in the year in the blockchain of Steemit. I'm sure it should be among the first 5 blockchains worldwide.
Maybe it has declined because of the new modifications that make it difficult for newbies. Already then it will depend on the oldest members to help them to grow the platform.
I also think that ETH is strong, otherwise, the cryptocurrencies of the ICOs would not be taking the standard ERC20, so I think that must be good this Ethereum ecosystem.
I am no expert in cryptocurrencies, nor in their behavior. I'm just getting to know the consensus algorithms and like most users, I have a vague idea of what a blockchain is and what can be done with it.
Generally, bad reviews are good propaganda as well.
