RE: Who receives the Steem new account creation fee?
totally agreed, best application of blockchain since bitcoin haha, the dawn of a new era, if they handle with care it can grow big, just need to take of the trolls and the content nazis, contrary to what the person below says i think this place gives ample chance for entrepreneurs to run business, bidbots is one form of that @blocktrades another, steemmonsters another, there will be many more and if it can make money it WILL attract investors :)
look at how jp morgan and goldman sachs and all the bigguns cave in after years of distrust now, they dont want to be the last inside before its full and why ?
the millions ? in their case they're already thinking billions im sure of that , even the swiss exchange, the financial capital of half the planet might be is starting or has already its own crytpo exchange
what's so wrong with people wanting to earn ?
as long as you don't scam or manipulate i really dont see the problem, if you just want articles to read without money involved go check medium or something all the readable content you'll ever need
this place is SO much more with so much more potential i doubt we see even the tip of the iceberg yet
money and creativity, it goes hand in hand here, economy and society
of course! Tokenization of the content web is inevitable, Steem is just the first of many.
If one wants to think with the bigger picture, the creative industry has to grow to support humans in terms of their livelihood and meaning to live.. It's actually still quite a philosophical talk but it needs to be addressed very soon. Human jobs are being taken away either by automation of by efficiency of systems that we will soon reach a point where it's impossible to create more jobs and jobs lost.
What then would humans do? While UBI is one way to solve the logistics of jobless humans, it does not solves the bigger cultural issue of what would humans do in a Post-Jobs world. A place our identities and meaning of life to what we do and what is the point of living if all we do is sit around waiting for UBI money?
Creative industry is one way.. in a world where everything crucial to human life is done by robots, the creative industry is the one last bastion of meaning of life to humans..
I don't mind living in a world where all humans do is create art and worry about little else. That would be a beautiful world.
Steem is making people see that it is possible..
...
ahh... okay.. You're THAT type..
We'll just cut the conversation short here eh?
Have a nice day!
yea ... its his company, he does what he wants really, thats free market capitalism, the numbers are probably right but the steem account is also needed to delegate to new people and probably to suppress any major overpowered trolls , i upvote myself too, i try to keep it 50/50 and i dont see why not
if i had that amount of clout id still upvote myself and why not, its my money, i could use half for other things, i personally like @treeplanter a lot and i doubt i would give money to humans or projects to keep areas alive that are doomed anyway
i used to be a people person, i still am in some ways, i used to study social work, its always nice to hear couch-hippies and stoners going on about how to change the world while doing literally nothing but filosofy at the bar
i still think its best to concentrate on fixable things first, and ignore the unavoidable while keeping up awareness, look at the wallstreet drumcircles after lehman's ?
tell me that achieved anything but a fucking heap of trash in the streets and a free camping festival ?
cos i dont see what it did ?
