RE: STEEM PLANT ROOM. The scalability of STEEM and STEEMIT is simply jaw dropping..!!

in #steemit8 years ago

Much like the Internet itself in '94 and '95. The first paying proposition on the Internet was porn. Just like the first use of Bitcoin as a real currency was in the dark markets.

It's really the "Innovator's Dilemma" - or the "Pioneer's Dilemma." Why would an established, solid burgher pick up sticks and move to the hardscrabble frontier? Other than for essentially lifestyle reasons?

There's a good reason why pioneer America welcomed:

your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Frontiers are built up by folks with little to lose, which necessarily include some riff-raff.

Sort:  

Well we're not in the 90's. Other platforms gained popularity without porn. We need to let go of the fixation on ourselves and getting jerked off and instead focus on making steemit a quality platform that will actually attract people to it, like facebook. If facebook was a porn hub like people are trying to do to steemit, facebook wouldn't be facebook, it would be trashbook.
