RE: Will Steem succeed or commit suicide?

in #steemit7 years ago

Of course you can do whatever you want with your steem, that doesn't mean the system is fair.

As for the delegated SP, I purchased that with the earnings I gathered from all the posts I've made previous to now, and I purchased it to expand my ability to curate. So you can shove your self-righteousness. You know how I earned enough SP to power down into Steem so I could purchase wider curating power in the first place?

How stupid do you think people are? You powered down your SP into steem in order to use that steem to purchase 10x more SP? Sure mate, that happened.

I'm not being self-righteous, I merely pointing out the recorded facts.

I earned where I'm at and what I'm doing.

As your transaction history shows, you've clearly bought your position. I'm not saying that you haven't made good posts or been helpful, I'm merely stating a recorded and undeniable fact. You can try to deny it as much as you want but it's right there in your transaction history.

No one deserves something just for showing up.

Likewise, no one deserves anything just for being wealthy enough to be able to buy themselves a nice position.

Sort:  

If you looked at my transaction history, you'd see me powering down the SP I've earned over the course of a year in order to do this. Why don't you look again?

Also, what were those transfers in your transaction history from blocktrades?

Why would I need to look over it again? You just said that you powered down your SP in order to purchase SP? On what planet does that make any sense? It ain't fucking this one that's for sure.

I powered down SP into Steem. I leased 10k SP from minnowbooster for 400 Steem. Need me to write it in crayon or are you gonna keep making assumptions?

I'm glad I could finally get you to admit that you bought your position rather than earning it.

You mean like you did? You didn't. Nice try, though, Turbo-Lenin.

Yes, exactly like I did. My argument is not about you buying steem, it's about you claiming that you earned it all when you clearly rented it. What part of that do you not understand?

The part where I didn't earn the Steem I used to rent SP. Which is exactly the point you made. I didn't purchase Steem to lease SP. What part of that do you not understand? Want me to draw it in crayon for you?

I never said you didn't earn any of it, I said you didn't earn all of it and your transaction history proves that. /shrug.

Yes, I want you to draw that in crayon for me. Then when you grow up, you can start to use pencils.

Oh wait, I know exactly what those transfers are. You trying to buy your position.

Yes, that's me trying to buy my way higher up the ladder. Unlike you, I'm not going to deny that fact and I'm not going to try to convince people that I earned that SP when I so very clearly bought it and din't earn it in any way, shape or form. I didn't even earn the money I used to buy that SP, I made it from mining altcoins with my GPU.

Good for you. I earned mine. So by your own metric, I have way more of a leg to stand on.

Sure mate, you earned it by paying 400 steem for 10K SP.

Yeah. I earned the 400 Steem, which I turned into a greater investment. Get the fuck outta here with your commie bullshit.

You may have earned that 400 steem, you definitely didn't earn that 10K SP which you bought though. If that's commie bullshit, then the US government are commies:

There are two ways to get earned income:
You work for someone who pays you
or
You own or run a business or farm

No, let's look at what the say unearned income is.

Examples of Income that are Not Earned Income:

  • Pay received for work while an inmate in a penal institution
  • Interest and dividends
  • Retirement income
  • Social security
  • Unemployment benefits
  • Alimony
  • Child support.

The US government is strongly socialist, which is the step immediately preceding full-blown communism. So yeah, they are. Don't really give a shit what a bunch of government agents try to define things as in the tax code, so you appealing to it is irrelevant. Has no value. Next slide, chief.

The US government is very right wing. The left wing of US Politics is further to the right than the right wing of the UK Politics and many other western nations. If you think the US government is strongly socialist then you're obviously a right wing extremist.

You don't need to tell me that you ignore facts, that's clearly evident. All that makes you though is delusional.

This is exactly the issue I've pointed out in my recent post.

It'd be great if you could join that discussion as well to help highlight this problem further.
