RE: Ditching the Socialist Approach on Steemit - Make Steemit a Genuine Free Market or Watch it Fail
I think @lukestokes is being very patient with you.
This is not a new conversation, even if it's a new subject for yourself...
You have a lot of opinions, for someone that is not interested in either investing your own money, or really investing your time into growing your image and personality on steemit.
I've invested plenty of both, and you can be damn sure I'm watching daily, learning and growing, participating and working hard to form my opinions after much consideration and reading of all the docs available, and reading the most knowledgeable posters whom understand the system the best.
You mention Jerry and his views, much of which I think are hard not to agree with. He is an example of someone that has very much invested his time and energy and money on steemit. So I would tend to listen to his opinions more than most others...
I wish I had the answers to the frustrations you voice. That Jerry voices. I have not read the new white paper yet, and I look forward to seeing the blue paper sometime in next 30 days I assume.
Keep in mind there is much in the wings, that has not been announced, and thus, Steemit is changing much faster than we realize.
I'm not sure why it falls on anyone to be "patient" with me. I put forth an idea, we're discussing it. Clearly what I say carries little weight anyway. Why are you both implying me stating and discussing an idea is the end of the world?
It's also not a resolved conversation from what I can gather. Just chiming in.
This is a bit of a low blow actually. My introduction post shows how much money I have to invest in the platform at the moment.
As for investing my time, I've been active on the platform nearly every day since I joined - posting original content, stories and comments. I've been here about 2 months and have 677 posts total. No need for these types of comments as I'm sure you work hard at this too.
I know. That's the main reason I made this post to begin with; discussion.
If it hasn't been announced yet, I can't logically consider it for the time being. I hope to highlight some of the issues being faced by newcomers that are scaring many off to encourage them to stay and grow here. This is basically the only way that I can do that.
I really think all we can do is set the example.
If I am invested in every way possible, I'll see how I do, comment on the problems I see and participate in finding the solutions.
I would not feel very entitled to comment if I was not doing all the above..
