RE: Why Steemit/STEEM will fail.
If this is to remain the status quo, you're absolutely right: Steem is dead.
I would be utterly flabbergasted therefore if it did stay this way.
You know I am pretty cynical, and that is why I am confident this will get fixed right away, becuase the whole point of HF20 was to onboard users. There's no point in onboarding them if there's no point in their remaining, and if they can't engage, they won't remain.
The HF was poorly done, as far as I can tell, and if it's as badly broken as it appears presently, it'll either be rolled back or fixed. A linear relationship between stake and bandwidth is asinine and farcical, as whales could post encyclopedias, and a new user wouldn't even be able to make a comment. I don't think Stinc is that stupid.
I could be wrong, and my gast could be completely flabbered, but I think it's gonna get better fast.
I'm using one of my three comments to personally invite you to join me at WeKu just in case they can't get their shit together, its an offshoot of steemit and the basically like steemit was before they fucked it all up
https://deals.weku.io/pick_account?referral=funbobby51
if you have already joined drop me a line over there so I can follow you.
Have you also joined Whaleshares?
not yet, is it another steem clone?
Yes. Basically an earlier version of Weku, with a few differences.
I would drop you a referral link at this point if they only had one!
I understand most people are cross posting on all three platforms now. Seems the sensible thing to do, but it won't buy you any time!
good to diversify, perhaps one will really take off and become the facebook of the future and then all early adopters will be millionaires.
It has already happened in a way. The first adopters of Steemit made a shedload of STEEM easily when it was around $0.30, then sold it at $8! Our time will come.
or if they held onto it then it is worth almost three times as much now!
An increase of x3 over two years is still a great achievement by any investor's standards ;)
Though personally I would have sold a bunch at $8. I did! My weekly power down didn't permit me to go too crazy, which is a good thing I suppose.
