RE: Antonopoulos and Steem

in #steemit8 years ago

Wrong. We just need a better SP and SBD distribution algorithm, in which normal people can make a decent living. That doesn’t mean that Steemit should be a quick rich scheme. There’s a big difference between decent living and ultra rich kind of lifestyle. Did you know that? I'm tired of the same rethoric. Maybe Mr. Antonopolous doesn't have to worry about paying bills. Everytime I hear “BLOCKCHAIN GURUS” like him, it makes me wonder if normal people ( which is the majority in the blockchain community ) are invited to the future economies and communities that blockchain technologies will offer ( and I say “will offer” because i haven’t seen any that is really helping the majority in the present time. I’ve just seen copies of copies of blockchain technologies to attract rich investors, (which ultimately will make them richer, and maybe will create UTOPIAS for them ), and to attract naive people who didn't make it in other projects. It’s very creepy and sad if you "really really" think about it. You have to read between the lines to understand what they are really telling you.

Regarding on the Steem price, is normal to see falls, specially at the initial phase of the project, because it is subject to speculation ( speculation is subject to ups and downs CYCLES. It will be like that forever. So when you see the price falling, change your mindset to INVESTOR MODE, and buy more tokens if you can. You have to consider that there is a maximum supply of tokens which will create scarcity in the market on the long run and will make the price go up. That’s the whole idea of locking up or POWER UP your Steem tokens for two years if you want to profit and getting interests at the same time ), and we have to consider that we are still a very very small community, and we are at the initial phase of the project too ( very very important ). What we need to focus on, is on promoting the platform in any way you consider appropriate. But do it, and do it now. But most important, the wealth distribution that Steemit is offering needs to change in order to put everyone in profit mode. AND I MEAN EVERYONE, not just a few ones like always, because we are very dependent on the so called WHALES( we like or not). By the way; Did you know that more WHALES are leaving the project everyday?

There's a big potential to help people to make a “fair" amount of money ( daily ) and to create larger greater communities AT THE SAME TIME. Just change the damm algorithm. If it doesn't change, then Steemit will become another POS ( PROOF OF STAKE) platform, like so many other shitcoin technologies platforms from the bunch.

Great communities need great economies first in order to prevail. And sadly, Steemit ecosystem is far away from that ( at least for now ).

In the meantime, promote promote promote promote promote the platform. Cheers…!!!!!!

Sort:  

Ignoring the antagonistic tone of your post, when was Steemit ever about "making a living"? Sincere question. Theoretically possible, yes, but when was that a "promise" made to the users? The tag line is "post and get paid", not "post and live off of Steemit".

Millions of people use Facebook daily without earning anything.
