RE: 💬 Promoting WOX's Top Commenters - Supporting Steemit's Vision Week #1
Wow. Probably, these are old wounds. The countries had ugly divorce in the past.
There is tension within Steemit Russian-speaking society too.
I think some of this has spilled into WoX - when I'm reviewing comments, I see some strange ones that I don't really understand but it doesn't look too kind!
It's happened in German-speaking too recently 🤷♂️
Bad curation on Steemit ruins people's faith in Steemit and Steem. I don't mention bots that belong to top witnesses. The system is not healthy.
You don't need to - one person who this community supported to dolphin status just delegated all of his steem to a top witness. Voting bots only benefit 2 people - the bot owner, and the person paying the bot. At least the wox-helpfund uses some profits for charity work.
Steemit's an investment that has a social media platform hanging off it. It was created to be a social media platform with a cryptocurrency supporting it. It certainly looks to be in a very bad state, it's just a matter of time before it implodes.
I started sharing this point of view recently.
The big question though, is, when? (not when you started sharing your point of view but when do you think it will implode?)
Nobody knows. When SBD costs much less, when the code fails for 3 days, when some large users power down, when the programmer says "enough". Or after STEEM have a laughable altseason comparing to Hive, after Hive (at its low postion) costs 2-3 times more than Steem, when they say club8020 or club99 is a must. Every moment of this way down, there will be hope for better future and there will be reasons to stay longer, of course - If things didn't work in this way, all Jews have left Germany before Hitler started killing them.
implode ---
It may be rather drowning to the sounds of the orchestra. Old people, patriots, guys who invested into BTC in 2018 and didn't touch the investment for 3 year (because of dementia) and, thus, turned into crypto experts, all of them will keep buying the dips saying "0.1 for Steem is a gift of the destiny!" or "Justin Sun has money, don't forget it! We just need to call him enough loud" Meanwhile, they will continue shoveling Steems into their chests to become bigger and bigger. Once, several strongest ticks will win this race. Bloated from pumped blood, surrounded by selected slaves from exotic countries, they will be arthropod lords in the kingdom of the dead until... the platform will stop working.
But who knows maybe these things won't happen. Maybe what we see on Steemit now, it is just a down before a big rise. But these things won't happen by themselves.
This is probably the most likely scenario. Although Justin Sun being something of a playboy in the crypto space will probably find some fool to invest millions of dollars to ramp it up again. I think you've covered everything there. Apart from the 1966 World Cup.
:D I forgot mentioning the fact that probably the main nation on Steemit are Koreans. And it does give hope to every Steemian since Northern Korean program of threatening the world with rockets is adorable. :D If seriously, AVLA app shows that there are Koreans wanting Steemit alive. Recently, there was a post in WoX. A Korean was talking to other Steemians in English, wow, I sometimes thought we don't exist for them. Or maybe this sudden surprising dialogue between the East and the West (and the Aceh) is a red herring while Koreans are preparing a fork - a fork to create a separate Korean Steemit without the international freak herd. ;)
exactly. I have no idea. definitely not months, and would surprised if it take more than 3 years. but that is just my assumptions, predictions, "some circles I write on the water".
I love that expression.
I suspect it will be related to when Steem stops getting created because presumably that will happen at some point - resulting in rewards decreasing to the point at which everybody disinvests.
I noticed it. The very top witness who upvotes 300 times a day.
But the mission has been completed, the dolphin has been created - so all reason for satisfaction. Why? No idea, but maybe it would have been better to support loyal members instead of feeding them with 1 Steem trail rewards?
🤷♀️
I’ve also noticed some tension indeed between Russian speakers by just reading comments.
