RE: ETHEREUM (ETH): A New Pattern
I'll second everything said above, with the exception that Mr. Lee needs to "brush up on (his) English". He's able to convey his ideas and messages clearly, and that's all that matters--as a non-native speaker, I think he does perfectly fine. My intuition is that he's been speaking English as a second language for many, many years now... at least that's what I gather from his grasp and usage of the language.
On to the larger point though, and that is the Bitcoin Live platform. I agree--$10-20/mo and you have me as a follower, Mr. Lee. Beyond that and I will likely have to find other sources to augment my due diligence. The other people you are partnering with have little to no draw for me at this point.
I don't know where you stand now on current motivations--was Steemit just a clever entry into the crypto space to grab more eyes that could then be converted to paying subscribers? Was Steemit started as a genuine effort to give back to the small guy and help others learn some valuable skills? Have motivations changed as we've weathered a sizable correction the past 4-5 months, and you've received harassment from members of this community during a large portion of it? Perhaps it's a little bit of all those things, but it doesn't much matter to me.. nothing is permanent, and I'm thankful for the good things that you have shared with the community.
I've been following the @haejin blog since ~2,000 followers or so. There was a beautiful feel to it back then. A genuine and believable 'intent to do no harm' was often expressed. The followers of the blog tried to help each other out as best they could too. I'll be forever grateful for the knowledge that you have shared Mr. Lee. I look forward to following you to your next platform, and as erit2018 said, I'd happily pay just YOU for your TA, as I value your experience and input. If for some reason things don't work out in a way that I am able to be a subscriber on your next platform, here's wishing you all the success in your future endeavors, and a heart-felt thank you, sir!
I agree with you about the English - I was just trying to convey that if you're going to start charging a fee for your services it's going to take more work; and that might be hiring an editor or spending more time to proof read your material. When people are paying for something, they expect a higher standard.
Ah, right on. Thanks for the clarification. Agreed, when being a paid subscription, sometimes people will expect a bit more 'polish' when it comes to the product. For me it would be fine as-is, but I totally get what you're saying now.
