RE: Real Talk: The Future of Steem
This is assuming most of the top developers are onboard to switch to the new coin.
Roger Ver got his fork on coinbase within a short period of time after it was realeased? I'd take one coinbase listing over a bunch of these peon exchanges with no volume.
A rebranding could actually help the token. Many traders and investors avoid steem due to ninja mine.
Removal of SBD might be good as well. None of the top 30 or 40 coins have 2 separate coins ? Just complicates getting on exchanges and keeping exchanges. Plus complicates user experience.
Why have a pegged crypto that doesn't hold a peg, it removes confidence in the crypto platform. Developers can simply use an API that connects to the exchange and use a real time calculator for selling of goods.
Roger Ver is pretty famous and well a billionaire. :)
Remember the Zcash for to Bitcoin Private? Yeah no one else does either. :)
I've heard it costs around $1m to get listed on Bittrex these days.
Bittrex does not charge for listings.
There is a lot of nonesense going around when it comes to listing fees. Binance, for example, does charge some coins for listings (mostly ICOs which raised a lot of money and haven't accomplished anything but still want a listing right away; seems fair to me) but also lists coins for free.
I wouldn't minimize the effort of forking off to a new coin (including exchange listings but not only that), and I'm neither proposing it nor supporting it right now. But then again, continuing to do what we have been doing doesn't looking too appealing, as you have pointed out. There may not be a better alternative than forking.
Thank you for clearing up the costs of listing. I was repeating something that I heard and I didn't research it at all.
