Vlog 139: Powered up 2273 STEEM + Proof of brain difficulty has gone up.
Tonight after bringing Ezzy and Rea to the airport I powered up 2273 STEEM.
I guess that's what being around positive Steemians do to you :)
I'm almost at my goal now of 100K.
I have always said that I believe that earning STEEM tokens will be harder and harder in the future when more people join the Blockchain.
And I think I'm right in the assessment because just ask anyone that made 200.000 STEEM in the early days of blogging to do that again today.
That's about 2000 blogs worth $100 each. That's not easy all.
The Proof of Brain difficulty has gone up (I guess).
When more and more users will compete over a fix reward pool this difficulty will only increase in the future.
Now combine that idea with SMT's that need STEEM(power) (that is now harder to earn) to run (bandwidth) on a blockchain that in my mind is far superior to any other out there. (and most likely easier to implement on existing platforms as well).
I expect that liquid STEEM will become pretty popular, pretty fast.
Well, at least that is what I'm hoping for :)
What I do think is that personal troubles or feelings about Steemit.com should never be a reason to sell in my mind.
Always look at the technology and the potential.
Nice payout, well deserved.
I have a mix feeling about steem price.
For the last couple of weeks, it is under a dollar worth.
I wish I know what the future holds but steem is wacky price wise.
Keep on steemit and thanks for bringing value to the platform
Don't we all :)
You seems to get it, but why do you not flag anything? IMO you're not showing the good example. Is it not easier to re-balance the ecosystem to flag when you see blatant abuse? Also when you see a "nice post" and see that the user is doing just that all day do you even flag that?
@transisto do you think there is a potential chance that steem devs will listen to their users and change the whole reward, upvote and post ranking system?
I wrote a post, where I proposed my own vision and solution of how we can evade this holy wars :)
Not chasing for your rewards, but would be interested to hear your opinion. Cheers.
If you think of Steem dev as Steemit dev, no I don't think so. Time for independent devs to work on a fork.
My brother! Man, let me say that you're one of the nicest and best friends anyone could be lucky enough to have. That just needs to be said. An guys are incredible hosts and so hospitable. Youself and @bkdbkd are stars, simple as that.
And in regards to your new vlog, I also feel strongly about the choice to curate content how you see fit in whatever way you feel is fair. That's a right every steemian should have on the platform given their place in the community. Some may like it, some may not. But as with real life, is impossible to please everyone all of the time. I love Steemit, I say that with pride. And a large part of the reason is due to the mechanics "behind the curtain". A reflection of life if ever I saw it. Man, what an amazing eco-system!
Sorry to have missed you guys. It was a very busy weekend on our side with my family. Next time we'll shake hands. Good to hear you had a great stay with Mark and Bianca.
All good, buddy. Something tells me I'll be back soon so we will get a chance to meet, I'm sure. And yes, I had one of the best times of my life with them both. Such good times. All the best, man. :)
well said.. @ezzy
Wow!!, you just hit the nail, well said
People are joining the platform massively, that's why I am trying to get more steem, because it will be had to get steem in next 1 year from now, as the steemit is getting more popular.
I have all my Steem in Power, I'm just pushing for the stars and hoping I catch this wave on the coolest thing on the internet. Much love
Congrats on being so close to your goal. I agree, hanging out with steemians is very encouraging.
I also agree with your concept in regards to steemit.com. After being at steemfest and hearing more of what ideas are being worked on, I actually see the current concept of steemit.com fading away a bit. Until then, I think we should be accumulating all that we can. As you say, steem will be very valuable. In my opinion, it will be so because of all the other applications. Furthermore, once it is widely discovered the efficiency of the steem block chain, we are off to the races.
Hey Exyle congrats on almost reaching your target, your dedication to this platform means you deserve it. Do you know of any good resource to learn more about the SMT's? I'm still a little unsure about what role they're going to play
Well i think you're right, last 6 months "vesting steem" (or powered up steem if you like to call it that) stayed about ~72% of total steem supply regardless of the price!
I think more and more people will join but staying in the community is another story. I think it's also a test of endurance. I hope stagnant accounts won't affect us so much. The fewer rewards people get, the greater the part of the population quits. - Just my opinion.
I just started but I’m hoping this can snowball into something huge in the next 2-5 years
