RE: What is a Trail Coin?

in #steem-trail8 years ago

At the very least, as it incentivizes authors to create higher quality posts (TRAIL is awarded on observed quality, not popularity or reward algorithms), it can cause the value of STEEM to rise. One of the contributing factors to the lasting value of STEEM is the archive of quality, searchable posts, in the same way that Quora and Wikipedia have value. Increasing the value of STEEM > by improving posts > by offering an egalitarian reward based on quality > helps all Steemians.

There are other ways it helps all Steemians, such as by attracting authors to our community building efforts and more. TRAIL coin itself is a small but important point in a much wider effort whose sole guiding criterion is to build Steemit and STEEM.
