RE: Steemit's Got Issues! - Self and Circular Voting - Take 1
Well amazing analysis. I think this topic will always have the two sides of the coin... I think that this problem that we have now will dissolve once there are lets say 10-20mil users.. as the economy will grow much bigger... But we have to wait and see what happens... The sky is the limit for this Site IMO it is still very early stages of development so I am sure things will sort themselves out as no one wants to hurt the value of STEEM no minnows or whales... so we actually all have one common goal. To make this site a success. So let's do it guys. Keep up the great work I am quite new here and really love it already. No matter there are flaws... there are no systems without holes in them... It is a matter of how we deal with the problems...and how the holes are used by the users... Well that were my 2 cents. God Bless You. Thanks for the great info. It really helped me got a follower if ya care :)
Thanks for a great comment.
Some of these things will work themselves out. However this one is currently causing head/heart ache for many right now. Since it is perfectly acceptable to self vote, there are far to many people having their rewards stripped from them by self righteous whales that think the reward pool should flow only the way they want it to. Meanwhile their power to do so came much from mining which has put a massive imbalance on the platform.
I myself personally have lost thousands because of such bullies for doing nothing wrong. When you have stood where I have, losing that much money, it is very hard to just let it sort itself out.
Thanks again for the comment and for the follow :)
I feel your pain actually. But long term I am sure if price goes to the moon your losses will be covered so it is really a matter of what image we continue to create and to keep stable environment for new people make it more easy to join in the community... If we do all that things will go the right way ... Thanks for the reply it means a lot.
Thanks,
If I wait long enough my losses will eventually come back i'm sure, lol, but that's just it. No one wants to work for a year to make 3 grand.
Currently, it is easy to join.. however understanding it once you get here is something different lol. That was a previous topic.
When things "happen" there are people that have "let them happen" and those that have "made them happen"...
Allowing things to happen simply puts you at the bottom of the food chain.
I forget who this quote is from but i really love it. It's sort of one of my mantras.
"Build your dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs."
If those of us, new, small whatever don't step in to help make these decisions they weill be made for us by those with more than us and this is already happening. Those decisions will not reflect the community however and will reflect the balance of power instead. Benefiting large accounts to a greater degree than smaller ones.
Well unfortunately steemit is made and operated by people and people tend to loose it when they get much power or money so it i not much different that the outside world... We all take risk and we know what risks are. It is not a coincidence that some coins jump x1000 times it is what I like to call hidden value which we are building right now... Just have to wait until we go mainstream which is not far away in my opinion... Thank you for your kind conversation. It is my first one really and I am glad it happened. That was one thing that I missed here on Steemit. Take Care. God Bless.
You are right, people do tend to change with a lot of money.
Mainstream will be interesting.
Especially if the multitude of small issues aren't dealt with prior to that.
Yep we need just to hold on and keep on grinding :) God Bless you. Peace and Love.
