RE: WHY STEEMIT INC Needs Steemit More than Steem
The point about Steem needing Steemit is very valid, but the real power of the site is in the Steemonians like you said. If the price of Steem drops heavily, more people will drop out. If it picks up, then more will come. I do think that after this new batch of newbies like me and you gain momentum and move up the ranks, the power structure will shift because there will be so many "whales". This is a great site, and I hope it doesn't go away anytime soon, but it takes time to build a social platform and to get people to engage. It's not easy. Steemit has survived over a year and only now is really starting to grow. It will be interesting watching it all unfold. Great thoughts and thought provoking ideas. I appreciate your post.
Thank you buddy for you attention. Heck yeah you touched on a lot of great points. We just have to ride it out until hopefully we can get rid of that term "whale." I hate that we have labels in here just like in the world. And absolutely it takes time and energy. I am excited to see if the universe blesses this platform.
When there are haves and have nots, then there will always be labels. I think the term will boaden over the next 3-5 months as there will be a lot of people in the big ass dolphin range.
But thats the purpose of a decentralized network to keep the power out of the hands of the few. That's what I am saying with this post Steemit has a chance to do the right thing. If not the universe will just have someone else make a direct clone of Steemit using Ethereum as currency and beat Steemit to mainstream.
I think the power is in the hands of a few because there were only a few on here to begin with. Once we grow, the lines will be blurred I think, and I hope we grow in that direction. I'm sure somebody is building something with Ethereum, but getting a social media to go mainstream is tough as hell. I think Steemit has a great chance. I don't know much about the power structure, but I know that anyone that puts in the work and has a little skill can make money and don't really need too many of the "powerful" to do it. Especially as this batch of good minnows grows up together.
Team work makes the dream work ya dig. Only time will tell buddy :)
The one good thing Steemit has is a head start and 6,600 active users going hard.
I've seen a couple people only resteem and make money, but I don't know. I'm interested to find out. Steemit does have good start, and if they get up to 50K active by the end of the year, things could get serious.
O yeah you only make money from resteeming if thats your main strategy here on Steemit. They focus their efforts solely on finding the big authors and upvoting and resteeming their content asap.
