RE: Why I see so much potential in steem.
Great question!
In the old real-life centralized (top-down) systems bad behavior (which tends in the psychopathic direction) was rewarded through corruption, good behavior wasn't rewarded most times at all.. (voluntary work)
Now in a decentralized system like steem you can do the exact opposite and reward good behavior (without having a negative effect - the inflation pays for your votes), but also penalise bad actions (in steem: flags / potentially reputation) and therefore educate each other in a decentralized manner.
simultaniously you can especially reward constructive "self-education" instead of preachs (micro economics, tokens, dRama is interesting ;))
Transparency also makes it harder for psychopaths.
Until now the winner (psychopaths) were writing history. This is changing.
But we are very early. But talking about potential.
Hello and welcome to the more active side of Steem )
Honestly... I think that most of these ruling and elite people aren’t just psychopaths. I think that many of them aren’t even human. No, I am not into “reptilian” conspiracy theories, but I have dealt with the phenomena of the so called “inorganic beings”, and there is still a lot to discover :/
