RE: What is Steem?
Yeah but you can use that same logic to claim that every vote devalues every other vote and every flag is actually upvoting the entire platform at the cost of two users losing rewards. Regardless, it's obvious why utopian-io is looking for investors.
Cant get enough from the pool alone?
The ninjamine gives advantage to utopian that outsiders dont get.
No level playing fields here.
Yes, steem is a scramble for the commons, yes, every vote does take from all others, no steem isnt worth playing if only two hundred accounts earn worthwhile rewards.
Yet, here you are, playing the game with 2000 coins powered up while Steemit Inc. is being forced to dump coins on the market at a big loss. If we're being honest with ourselves it's the developers that create 90%+ of the value here. The harder the value of Steem crashes, the more even the playing field becomes.
All of the coins were created in the pre-mine. Perhaps you've figured out a better way to legally distribute cryptocurrency? The hard truth of the matter is that we are nowhere near ready to threaten to clone this blockchain and move in a new direction. To do so would require the consensus of a large community agreeing on who is trustworthy enough to be granted coins on the genesis block. Something like that isn't going to happen without some kind of very solid reputation system.
Yes, to be successful it would have to be a palace coup, but with the right group we could fork ned, the ninjamine, the abusive whales, and linear rewards all into the past and move forward with what dan left us.
Unless we can get listed on the exchanges, it wont fly.
If we double the coins, and lock some up, many users will come back.
Including investors that got in, and out, early.
This keeps sounding more and more like Westworld. We must realize Arnold's vision.
Sorry, dont have cable, nor Netflix,....you'll have to clue me in.
It's a show about a Wild-West theme park filled with AI robots that look like humans.
Basically two main guys built the park. One wants to monetize it while the other wants to give consciousness to the robots.
Which is arnold?
