RE: Steem Power Is Rare And Why Powering Up Will Make You Part Of The 1%
Hello taskmaster... again I see quality and good thought on your post... but there's something.
We are 7.5 years behind where BTC is now, true, but what people fear when they say "I wish I got here earlier" is something that holds true - the world changed, and in 7.5 years a lot will happen in the crypto world and "offline" world as you well know.
Things are moving much faster now, and as I once said, STEEMit is the first, but I doubt it will be the concept that becomes mainstream. The platform may not even reach those numbers... nobody knows.
But I find it hard to imagine this platform being mainstream... unless big changes happen around here, I think it will be dethroned or whatever you said it in english (be taken out of the pedestal) by another app.
I mean... EOS is going to have a DEX... that means that when EOS and its DEX get running Bitshares will lose its value.
What if Dan remembers to create a platform much like this one based on EOS or whatever his next project is, what will happen then?
I too believe that I'm here soon enough to take advantage of the platform, but I have to give you this counter-weight for you to consider... the future for BTS for instances looks way worse now that EOS is almsot certain to get a DEX.
It is a mistake to look at blockchains in terms of comparisons.
Are you going to leave here when EOS comes online? I know I am not...the rewards are too great.
People are going to use many different networks. There isnt going to be one winner in any area. Bitcoin is not going to implode....there are a ton of businesses already operating on there which will continue.
Just like there are a ton of countries to visit there will be a multitude of blockchains to utilize. Some you might, others you might not.
As for mainstream, I believe it will since it is open source with plenty of development already taking place. The number of people being drawn in over the next 6 months will tell the story.
Do not forget, it took Steemit a long time to get the bandwidth down pat....it isnt something easy or that happens overnight.
Steemit might not be the flagship app...in fact, I believe DTube is going to be bigger. Nevertheless, even when they tokenize, they still need STEEM to get bandwidth.
Thanks for the insightful reply once again Task, love these Q&As
