RE: How one voting bot can increase the value of STEEM
I think its a very nice idea. Though I also think its easier to open an account than paying a bot. But this is a way to engage people outside the platform.
I disagree. It's not even a little easier.
Let's say your friend on Facebook really likes your post, and want to upvote it by sending $10 to a bot. That would give you a nice boost in payout and more post visibility, resulting in more upvotes and followers on the platform.
If your Facebook friend opens an account, he'd have to purchase SBD through a trading platform that accepts FIATs, then send it to you just to say "awesome post, it helped me a lot".
That's a ton of work and good luck explaining this process to your average Facebook user who has zero clues about cryptocurrencies and think FIAT is only a car brand.
I propose some kind of built-in mechanism in the blog post page to save people who do not create content having to go through all that trouble. If they do create content? They're welcome to join the circlejerk. :)
Good point. Your idea makes it possible to influence without be fully invested. That might be bad for steem on the short run, but as I said, will bring more action and helps in the longer run.
Why would it be bad for steem is people pay fiat for it?
Currently investment with sp can be pulled in 13 weeks. You offer a way of immidate fluidity
No, I don't. I offer converting FIAT to SBD. Currently, people pay SBD for upvotes, and get the value in return in SBD and SP. The investors get SBD. There's no more fluidity that currently exists.
You are correct. Sharp of you :)
