RE: A Radically Updated Steem Whitepaper

in #steem7 years ago

Thanks for the updated whitepaper.
I like the analogy of fighting abuse in the community.
The story of the "crabs in the bucket'' well explains it.
We cannot completely shut down abusers as it is explained in the crabs in the bucket analogy.

The goal of building a community currency is to get more “crabs in the bucket”. Going to extreme
measures to eliminate all abuse is like attempting to put a lid on the bucket to prevent a few crabs from
escaping and comes at the expense of making it harder to add new crabs to the bucket. It is sufficient to
make the walls slippery and give the other crabs sufficient power to prevent others from escaping

Sort:  

Yeah Right, just confuse about 1 Million people... sorry, it's too complex of a metaphor for how much it really matters to our platform here.
Just forget about this issue, and be done.

more crabs in the bucket hey? is that a analogy as in ,please we need to add more people to keep the ponzi going?

I like the contrarian philosophy on steemit. Most social platforms I've seen tell their users how to avoid getting crabs.
