RE: Never ending inflation - do we really need it?
Interesting comment about a friend not being interested because everyones on Facebook. I remember when no one was on Facebook but I got that this social phenomenon was going to be huge. As I watched hundreds of friends join , I made a business page and invited them to like it and now Facebook want to charge me for my friends to see my posts...crazy stuff but I guess thats why Facebook price is, ( NASDAQ: FB - 22 Aug., 7:57 pm GMT-4 124.15USD ) ... wouldnt it be great if some of the $350B market cap of FB was shared among their 1.5B users? Maybe.. just.. maybe, Steemit will get to 5 million or even 10 million users some time soon and we will share in the value of helping to build an exciting and viable social network of our own.
My friend didn't care about the money. FB has always been about exclusivity and inclusion. Zuckerberg saw an angle and he stole it. It worked, big time. The creators of Steemit see their angle and have been successful so far. One of the differences between Steemit and FB is that we all get to be involved in the success or failure going forward. FB people just had to be sheep, we have to be rams here at Steemit.
I like the sheep to ram metaphor. Simple, but says it well.
