RE: STEEM is still not Steemit, even if Tron buys Steemit.

in #tron5 years ago (edited)

You know with AEON. It is tough to keep exchange support and enough liquidity.

Funny you mention that. My experience is pretty much the opposite. We get new exchanges adding it all the time (not all listed on coinmarketcap) and the older exchanges want little other than reasonable support when needed, the wallet not using too many resources (Steem largely fails on this), etc.

I personally don't think it will be that hard for the existing Steem chain to keep sufficient exchange support (you don't need dozens of exchanges or millions/billion of dollars of fake volume unless you are trying to hype something) if people want to continue to use it.

I get it, you're a Tron fan and you're happy to see Steemit go that route. Fair enough. The way I see it, there are a good number of community members, stakeholders, app developers, and ecosystem participants who are not, at least not without more clarification about how it will work. Whether they are motivated to do anything about it, we will have to see.

tons of people jumped on the SPS right away and submitted proposals including myself

I guess that explains some sour grapes then. Nothing personal but I've never heard of you and I never heard of your proposal. If you or 'tons of people' expected SPS to be like the posting rewards where any idiot can almost frictionlessly milk rewards without a broad consensus of a significant part of the stakeholding base, then you misunderstood what SPS was supposed to do. It was and is supposed to support major projects of direct relevance broadly to the platform and its owners (stakeholders). Paying Steem core developers would certainly fall within that, even if lots of obscure proposals from lots of unknown people would not.

Sort:  

I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of Tron. I'm a bigger fan of Monero and Litecoin. Tron is like Ethereum to me. I hold a decent chunk because there is a lot of buzz about it and there are a lot of fan boys. I do have a larger stake in Tron than STEEM at this point because the writing was on the wall in my mind and I headed to higher ground.

As far as not knowing me or anything about the proposal I'm not upset or anything but in general people would have seen the proposal because the SPS was only out for like 4 or 5 days when I posted. I was one of the first and also had https://www.steemgalaxy.com/ which wasn't completely finished but showed people I had put in some level of work and also having the pictures of me as a mentor at the EOS Hackathons. People should have seen that I had some level of technical competency and that this might be something to explore.

At the end of the day whether there ends up being two versions of STEEM I hope everyone well and I will continue to promote crypto / blockchain tech through my professional baseball team which is going coast to coast this spring.

Thanks for the discussion. In case you didn't catch the livestream, the token swap is off for now. The Steem blockchain will continue as-is and integration/bridges will be worked on at some unspecified time in the future. Wish you the best with your baseball team.

Yeah I saw part of it. I think it is best. It makes it a slower approach and at least STEEM is back in the conversation and getting more eyes back on it.
Thank you!
