RE: Upcycling STEEM #1 : 70 delegations of 70 SP for 7 weeks available - let's solve the Resource Credit problem
Humans will come, if humans will invite them.
Why does it have to be larger to be social?
I find it less social on Fakebook with billions of members.
Based on what? - The massive reduction in active users over the last 12 months?
Based on the fact they will come - and then find out that they can only post once and make a couple of comments each day - and they they can't do anything?
...to increase demand for the product, and thus steem price.
It has to grow to be successful as a platform
Comment on the second part.
Only an investor would call social interactions a product and focus on its price. Only an investor measures success by endless unsustainable growth.
I have no problem with investors or their focus on money, i don't even mind someone making money from my social interactions, its their choice/belief in life.
However, if everyone on this platform has to have the mindset of an investor and only focus on price, then there is no social "product" left.
Fakebook is "successful" cos users who generate content are not motivated by money but by social value.
Anyway, here are two photos from todays food waste pickup up, a whole pallet of eggs:
I'm not an' investor', all my money in steemit has been made here.
( 350 ish now and I have withdrawn a fair amount to pay the rent - when steem was at $4)
Price and value are not the same thing, like rescuing perfectly good eggs - it has value - its not the price of them.
'The product' is the steem price, not the social interaction.
The price is partly derived from the quantity of social interaction. (the demand to be in steemit)
Well done on the egg haul, matey!
I hate waste, especially with foods.
When society throws away good food, it has reached a terminal state of decadence, imo..
What are you gonna do with so many eggs, btw?- You can't live on omelettes for the next 2 months!
lol
(I have done my share of dumpster diving, when I was penniless and traveling..)
I just ge the feeling that more and more users here on Steem are using a language that puts more focus on money.
I think that if we just let go of the constant focus on money, we could actually make Steem a better social platform.
The food waste we rescue is eaten by our foodsavers all their friends and famlies, and the rest is shared via public fridges in our city.
I a way, we bring dumpster diving to the masses.

Very, very cool, sir!
The best way to make it more social and less financial - is to grow rapidly - the wealth pool will be diluted meaning less people with so much power.
When we have a few whales deciding everything - who are interested in investment - it wont change.
Numbers of users will change the structure...
This was nothing to do with our chat, funnily enough ....but I think you'll enjoy this..

I have no 'paranoia' about foods. I live in asia nowadays.
Insects, the lot!
(I've even tried rat.)
I want to update my statement:
Humans will come and stay, if humans invite them.
If this is to be a social platform, there has to be more human interaction not less.
Looking back at the short history of Steem, i saw people come for the tokens, set up voting and comment bots and left to be social on Fakebook.
Does not have to be a bad thing, if you only can post once a day as a new user, many forums have such restrictions to avoid spam and build sustainable communities.
If other real users on Steem want new users to be more active they will delegate SP and create even more social value.
I will comment on the second part later, have to run to rescue more food waste. Peace.
