RE: If you had an opportunity to talk to an investor about STEEM, would you?

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago

I’m not so interested in the investors. I’m more interested in the content consumers who have money to blow. Something this platform is really lacking is content consumers. That guy who blows $500 a month on twitch streams tipping or puts down that kind of money on patron between all the people that entertain him. If he could find out there’s a platform like this he could either keep direct tipping in steem or simply power up and upvote the content that entrains that person with a possibility of cashing out one day at a profit. Well, then we might get somewhere.

I want that guy who reads some amazing article about whatever he’s into and just wants to drop a few grand on that content producer to keep them going and producing. I want people tipping so much towards a developers coffee it would kill the guy to consume that much caffeine in his lifetime. There some people and communities like that already here on the platform. They are just far and few in-between.

If you could tell a whale who blows 100k a year on tipping entertainers that he could just put that money over here and possibly turn a profit in the long run while still supporting stuff he enjoys. Then that guy just looking for entertainment just became an investor. Expect for him he’s just here for a good time. Any extra money he walks away with is icing on the cake.

Sort:  

idealistically i can agree with you, but in a world where everyone gets everything "for free" its not likely to happen.

This is also my type of vision. I believe we need to support the projects we love, and that means supporting the creators of that project. That was what I hoped I would find when I came to Steemit! You see it with some authors, but not enough to really make a difference yet.
