RE: 3 reasons that hold me back to invest in STEEM

in #steem5 years ago

Thank you for adding perspective from the witness side. I agree that if the rewards are just enough to run the nodes it is getting difficult to do more than what is expected.

On the volume side I disagree. STEEM dropped long before the recent Hardfork. I still believe that there aren’t enough people interested to buy and hold, probably because not many people want to have their tokens locked for 13 weeks.

Before HF21 there was really doubtful reason to Power Up, given that one could milk author rewards (that are supposed to be in hands of SP holders) without having any of funds locked in, just by using paid voting services.
By the way, running nodes when it comes to hardware doesn't cost that much. It's experienced, skilled, trustworthy human beings that are of value.
Actually I was OK with 2 year vesting and no delegations possible :-)
