RE: How Byteball airdrop is screwing over the Steem community
I agree with you, if this had any gateway drug effect then it was not mainly to cheat more (there is always some bad apples), but it actually helped Steem community who now hope that there will be more airdrops to Steemians.
What I noticed a lot was people asking how to get Bytes to their Steemit account because their never used Bittrex, UPbit or any other cryptocurrency exchange before, which means that there are many users on Steem who are not familiar with other cryptocurrencies.
There is no better way to boost some community/country economy than having some funds come from outside, import/export anybody? What somebody should do is make a bot on Byteball that let's users to convert Bytes to STEEM.
I think many missed the point of attestation too because the main function of attestation is to have a Byteball address in steem/username format, so others would not need to know any Steem user Byteball address, they could send Bytes directly to their username if they know that this user is using Byteball too.
Yes please someone write a article about what Byteball is, how to manage to exchange it, etc, etc.
I have already written several blog posts about Byteball and I might write another one that explains what else you can do with Byteball, check them out.
I have not written anything about how exchanges work because I believe there are many tutorials how Bittrex works.
Okay, I'll look into those tutorials. This is turning out to be a lot of work for a few pieces of steem.
