RE: MONEY CANNOT REPLACE INTEGRITY: Why I Still Vote According To My Inner Compass Instead of Max ROI
Additionally, their article is a great way to discourage new investors in Steem, new users from joining and current authors. If I was an outsider and this post was the first thing I saw when I visited Steemit, I'd turn around and never look back. :-/ It's potentially an embarrassment that will fuel the fires of mockers and naysayers.
I understand monetary ambitions too, but what's the sense in grabbing all one can in the short term when Steem has so much potential. It's plain short-sighted. The healthier this platform is now, the better off everyone will be in the future, especially large holders of SP...
After being on this planet for 34 years, I have come to realize that greed and short-sightedness are traits that the majority of humans seem to be "blessed" with...
As someone who has been on the planet for 60 years, I have seen where there is a direct correlation between how big government and big business make people richer and richer and the number of common people willing to do WHATEVER it takes to get higher up the food chain. People act and react in the same way as their role models and the media has made the rich and famous our role models.
This is the sad and unfortunate truth about our so-called "Modern Society".
Yes, I am afraid so.
having been blasted through HyperSpace (Thrice) and meeting Goddess(es?) on a couple of those journeys, my epiphany was that these are learned behaviours. These bad traits are most likely holdovers from the times of scarcity.
We have entered an age when abundance should be the fruits we all reap, but we haven't yet matured as a species to realize where we stand. Buckminster Fuller was right, we have the tech to take care of everyone and make sure everyone has what they need.
Me too. As crazy as it seems, I'm going to buck that trend however I can! XD
That makes two of us :)
Three of us! 😊
I agree.
With all I see going on, I firmly believe that $100 is a low price for STEEM. The SMTs along with apps that basically cover the entire social media spectrum (DTube, Zappl, Steemit, Steepshot) are basically poised to rewrite all the rules as they apply to this arena. One only needs to look at the values given to twitter, FB, Youtube, and instagram (that one sold for $1B) to realize it is a huge market.
The steem blockchain can be one of the first to truly gain worldwide recognition, not because of publicity and hype, but, rather, due to the developments that are taking place on it. These are apps people will use.
