RE: An Open Letter to Tone Vays: You're right!
Not saying anything bad about Tone and please don't hate Tone for this: But I've watched all of the Steemit related videos Tone makes an appearance in, and the conclusion is: Tone has something against Dan, he love's steemit, but he's got some weird problem with Dan?! What? Tone why?
The next 6 months will be an incredible ride
Yeah they will, but we are hitting it big already! :))
Fun Facts from my last post:
- May 23rd Steemit had 1360 Users
- August 23rd Steemit has 73.200 and counting!
many people in bitcoin dislike dan because he was never afraid to say precisely the problems bitcoin would have to overcome. when he chose to "recreate the wheel" as many of his opponents said, he did so away from mining because mining is ultimately a game that turns into what most call a "hashocracy" (basically a technocracy with the new Elite being the ones who have the most hash power---aka burning energy needlessly). In addition he worked to fix the bitcoin transaction volume problems (and achieved this as steem proves). to add to it, he threatened all miners with the thought that maybe their little game would be up by making it so bitshares required stakeholders to VOTE for the people who could sign blocks and earn tokens in the network. Wait...you mean no more free money without proving I provide value to the largest stakeholders?!
add to this he built separations of power into this and added the final part of the puzzle---smartcoins that roughly track the value of various real world assets, but with a free market mechanism that protects holders from 3rd parties, and lets say he pissed alot of people off.
If you want you can hear nearly 3 years of dan larimer talking about all these things by listening to the beyondbitcoin hangouts :)
Now with that said...he is proving many people he knows wtf he is doing ...but now steem has made the community who realizes his brilliance MUCH larger---so it is starting to become obvious that some people in bitcoin hate dan so much they are willing to tell lies about him to hurt his reputation in hope it will keep him from succeeding at fixing what he has identified.
So naturally the steem community is large enough to defend itself. I am so thankful for that because the bitshares community has suffered from all this hatred, lies, media blackouts/rackets but didn't have enough people looking at us to defend us from all of it. Looks like from the responses tone gets though that FUD is starting to make people wonder about FUDders intentions and are beginning to see obvious biases that should be acknowledged by media personalities (at least imho).
Well to be fair, witnesses are currently making tons of free money (~1500 STEEM per day per person, currently USD 1600+ per day) without proving they provide value to the stakeholders. Half of them aren't doing anything extra other than running a node, and don't even bother providing updates to Clains weekly witness report. This is as close as it gets to fictitious jobs paid off of the dilution of everyone's stake.
This is explaining so much that I did not know yet, but now the puzzle is complete. Thank you for these insights that should be out in the open.
Thank you so much for the great reply, I understand now! I should've understood that earlier, but lack of information was the problem, again thank you so much!
Based on glancing at Tone's Twitter feed, he doesn't like Bitcoin either, so I guess it follows that he doesn't like any cryptocurrency.
He doesn't like the fact that Dan has had some sort of failure in his past. I don't know what, and don't care. Humans fail, fail and fail before they find what works. Its how we learn. Most importantly is that we try, try, try again. Whatever the failure may have been, be grateful for it, it gives Steemit better odds.
