RE: Daily Steem Price Update 23/9/2022
While there was some of that bullying going on during the Steemit early days it's been nothing compared to the grip they have over at hive.
When everybody started moving over to hive there was definitely a drop, this is because much of the money went over to hive but steadily people continued to flow into Steem, eventually people may learn there is much more freedom over here and perhaps Steem and freedom will get the better hand and get ahead of this price war. Wow that's really bad, there's still accounts on here who get paid a ton of money for a picture and a sentence but it doesn't bother me as much compared to the inner circle I have seen on the sister site. That's why I never understood it over there they claim to be decentralized which was one of the big appeals about Steemit in the first place yet they are worse than popular centralized platforms, I'm dumbfounded on how they cannot see that over there and claim to be very decentralized, everything they do there is centralized. Oh trust me I believe every word you say I have seen it myself and also experienced it very briefly, I heard many moved to blurt because of the nonsense there, however I have heard blurt is a very week coin with like only one option to take your earnings out?
Trust me I know, I knew about it very early on because when I joined in 2017 I was invited to a private chat group on Steemit chat it was full of the Whales at now make up OCD. Or some of them at least I saw them pick random Newbies from the chat and nuke them for fun to 0. They will try to give the impression they were helping new people join but instead they would just look at anything on their page that could possibly be an issue, like one pic from the internet and rather than point them in the right direction they would laugh about how to take them down to minus reputation and zero all their posts. They were responsible for absolutely loads of new people leaving back then. Of course because I didn’t go along with it and their ideas I got picked on and they put me in a private chat group and muted me and just took the piss out of me until I left. It was so childish and pathetic I couldn’t believe it. I’ve been down voted since for standing up for other people getting down voted and for posting on Steemit. I think to begin with I thought I could just try to avoid them but they became too powerful and they clearly joined up with some other people too and made hive absolutely intolerable. The only way you can go along there is by being a part of the thought police or pretending you’re part of the thought police. They even seem to have this idea that you can never cash out, even cashing out your own money seems to be against the rules LOL. I did actually question if the whole thing was run by the CIA to be honest with you and it’s a test run for a Big Brother type rule to see if people would go along with it or actually realise and stand up for themselves. It’s not looking that promising is it LOL?
I love blurt there’s a great community there , there’s lots of fights don’t get me wrong because everybody there is a freedom fighter with their own ideas on what freedom means but no one can down vote anybody so the most that happens is an argument or a mute. The price is quite low right now but in a way that’s a good thing because it could easily 10 times. I actually think it has a lot of potential and I really enjoy posting there. It’s probably the place I’ve made the most real connections as well that I would actually want to hang out with in real life and have a cocktail with. I can see that Steemit is picking back up a bit which is nice too. I think more and more people are realising they don’t want to be part of a Draconian system and there are other options.
You can use blurt on hive engine pro bit and Ionomy I like Ionomy personally because I find hive engine really difficult to use and quite bulky maybe it’s just the tech I’m using.
Wow I remember hearing of such a group long ago, especially that they were a group voting down not just the newbies but people who were starting to do generally well. What a shame as I know many left over the years because of such abuse and it's rather sad they picked on people who were using both platforms, many are just trying to make a living.
Holy smokes yes they did get powerful accounts I remember wondering how some of them had suddenly insane amounts of power on their accounts but I think they talked others into giving them such power "in the premises that it was the right thing to do for the platform".
I get what you mean about CIA but I don't think it is however you just never really know, at the end of the day how well did we really know some of these whales, but what's even worse is to get down-voted by the same people we met and even shared conversations and dinners with.
I understand your fear that such a thing could happen again, for example my worry is that someone else buys Steemit or takes over Justin and decides things have to be different again and those changes could be an attack on the freedom we have here at the moment.
It doesn't look good but I keep thinking surely at some point more and more people are going to realise what is going on at the sister site and either move back or leave.
I have heard mostly positive things from Blurt users so it's good to know, from what I have seen the price on Blurt as always been low, and since there is only upvoting and probably most people continuing to take money out id say it's perhaps going to be difficult to turn that around, from what I hear you can log in if you have a Steem account correct?
Yes like you I have always found hive engine a bit much as for Ionomy I'm guessing it's centralized and KYC is needed?
a lot of accounts on steemit early days were started way before the platform was started, so a lot of these accounts were set up this way and in the know long before steemit was steemit.
No I don't think I did kyc for ionomy.
yeah if your on steemit you'll have money on blurt at one point it was 3 c but there is a lot of drama as everyone a freedom fighter haha but I really like it I honestly have the most fun there of them all and if it ten times I will be good
Thanks ultravioletmag I think I might take a look at ionomy especially if they don't require those annoying long winded kyc things. It's understandable there would be arguments "there always is.." it's just sad that even in freedom we humans cannot find our peace because we do indeed all have our different views on just how far freedom can really go. Btw does blurt have any sites/tools for rankings and calculating upvotes percentages and stuff?
yeah it does have those tools I can't remember exactly why they are but you can chat to people who do know I'll go there now and tag you with some ppl who know their stuff more. If you just log on you might think it's crap on home page but actually its a rly rly good community under the surface
I think its decentralised and takes about 2 mins but I did sign up a while ago lol
you actually have 100 dollars in there lol
If ionomy is decentralised that's even better. Yeah I thought Blurt would probably already use such tools as they have proven useful for many people to navigating their activity, I was just curious if they existed.
I don't think Blurt looks or is crap I think it looks a little more like facebook with it's bigger images which is probably more attractive to many people.
Blurt hasn't been out of the picture for me fully it's just I'm generally too busy to be active on more than one blockchain, if I get time I will log in at some point and maybe even invest in future.
