I would be happy to know where will be people going to get reasonable reward for their contribution?... LOL... Facebook?, Reddit?, Twitter?, Youtube?...
There is no competition to steemit right know, this is the only platform that will give you some reward for posting, even if you are a newbie... Other business models requires a lot more of work and investment to get some little reward...
Yes, self voting is ugly, but sometimes i think we should stop wining about it... In real life, people who have a lot of money will use that money to get self benefit, this is not different here...
There are competitors.. Check out Primas, moving out of open beta and coming online this week. It's like Medium quality content with a community incentive system like steemit but more fair and without the centralisation.
LOL I like your comment. You should self upvote that one! My votes are below the payout threshold.
Maybe a competitor will launch on EOS but I've heard of no real competitors now. I think minds or something has a token but you can't trade it so what good is that.
100% capacity and backed up 43k transaction... you can take a nice nap while it "moves between chains". And this is supposed to be a competitor? come on. golos runs circles around that project...lol
I guess i messed up when i sought for an upvote on steemchat.
Well don't blame me, i was desperate for upvotes and didn't think much about building friendship and forming alliances.
Can you perhaps give me a second chance by unblocking the chat section you closed between you and I? Sorry.
hey @nathanmars, this is exactly what we are doing with #comedyopenmic / @comedyopenmic we have given out ~1000 SBD and ~270 Steem and attracted total paid-out of >$15,000 worth in upvotes and prizes since we started (data from SteemSQL) all without bot votes, so 100% profits for original comedy content producer.... come checkout what we're doing and see if we can help bring Steem to >$10.
not judging at all, in fact, I'm in agreement with you.
as for world problems, well, we're current focus on the world of Steem and obviously you are a serious Steem investor so I thought it would interest you to know that comedy has been the biggest retainer of all social sites
why do you the subreddit s/funny is the biggest sub-reddit with 50million members?
or why facebroke and dubetube consistently run funny videos and content randomly into their users stream to keep them engage and coming back?
our goal is to bring authentic comedy content creators and enthusiast into the blockchain, we're just starting with Steem first, and hopefully bring up the value of your wallet.
Here's a quick vision snapshot of the next 12months:
raise upto 100,000 of delegation to keep the community self-sustaining
grow a community of 50,000 engaged Steemians
raise original Comedy entry to 500/week or >150,000 original comedy entries.
mid term vision 1.5-2 years.
bring in 1% of subreddit funny or 500,000 new Steem accounts who supports or appreciates comedy with content, engagement or just help build the community
we're a community volunteer based account growing on the graces of Steemian large and small, if what we're doing isn't part of the solution, we would not be currently trending as one of the tags with the highest average paid upvotes....no kidding, go click on the link and see for yourself.
they say laughter is the best medicine.... maybe laughter is also good financial medicine for blockchain technology, especially for the likes of social media blockchains like Steem, don't you think?
There are thousands of people are dying of unnecessary wars. So what I’m doing is kind of more meaningful to me and I come from a place where thousands of people killed by internal war. At least in my own view.
I 100% believe that you’ve your own argument for doing what you’re doing is meaningful to you.
we're pretty big supporters of Video Comedy too, in additional to the regular comedy competition we give out special prizes to spur higher usage of DTube, DLive, etc
If you like what you see, please throw us a witness vote to @comedyopenmic, we want to put our best Video and Comedy talent on Trending and we can't until we can raise Jester Prizes to 300 SBD which is about a $600 to showcase our best talenst in 1st page trending and put a crack into the bid-bot cycle of domination.
Steemit gives a lot of rewards to newcomers (unlike other social networks).
The price of STEEM will increase if Steemit develops if readers (unregistered users) and followers will find quality and original authoring content they will not find elsewhere on the Internet. If the Steemians will accumulate STEEM Power and they will take care of the growth and development of the entire community and platform.
However you can't deny how many self serving steemians are here.
"Some Steemians are not taking a day off from getting their rewards unfairly. Why should I take a day off from making it better for most people including new ones"
I understand.
However, I myself will rather not publish anything if it should only be for reward. I prefer to publish only what I enjoy myself and in what I can see at least of some value.
You seems like good steem citizen like many others.
There’re few bad Steem citizens and we’re many good steem citizens and first they ignore us, then they laugh at us, then they fight us , then we will win.
I believe that those who are here for easy earnings at any cost will quickly drop off. Only those who care about the community and the platform will remain here.
Yes you are right sir
I really believe in steemit as I have seen it impact in full months here
Steem at $100, I can reach out to over 100,000 Nigerian with quality content and value who will make a living here.
Right, look at the last six months or so and not two years. The picture isn't as pretty. The cheer squad is standing on a pile of dead plankton. These sorts of posts start to smell when they're not backed up by an improvements in the platform and awful content quality.
As we speak, there are Blockchain developers are working hard to make Steemit a better platform and as a user we also should do something for the community to remove or notify people who are creating awful content.
Also Steemit is a like an ocean and there room for everyone to swim
We'll just have to agree to disagree. I spent quite a bit of time here, but I've pretty much given up except for a few things here and there. I find it much more fruitful to spend time developing my following on Reddit or Quora, which are also a lot more fun for me. No, you don't get paid to post on those sites, but you can organically gain a following that will gain you eyeballs for projects you do monetize. Certainly, a few people find a way to do that here. A bunch of people I followed because I liked their content six months ago have thrown up their virtual hands and vanished.
As a newbie I haven't purchased steem. I want to but it is very expensive and won't change my influance. I'd need to spend $US5000 to increase to a good upvote amount and I don't have that amount of cash.
There needs to be a better way as currently all the Steem bots are milking the system and not helping build new members accounts.
There are a lot of people leaving Steemit due to this. There needs to be a better way.
Maybe rewards for steem purchases i.e. 10% bonus on purchases.
The reason the gains were so high the first 2 years is because steem started out at 100% inflation. Today if you wait 2 years you will get around 17%, basically the sum of each years inflation. So by powering up you just are immune to the effect of dillution by newly created steem (inflation). Self upvoting for visibility.
SBD should be consider as Steemit's currency. Which means people need to buy SBD and convert it into Steem. If people can buy Steem directly, then SBD will be useless. Steemit board needs to consider, whether to keep SBD by stop Steem trading or get rid of SBD.
The payouts come out in STEEM Dollars "now", but if we decide the peg no longer exists and will not be enforced it can easily be switched to STEEM and SBD can be removed without any impact on the system.
Right now, of course, SBD has some use because it is being used by Post Rewards, bots, and it has a value, but it can be removed and all that can be handled by STEEM.
Hey Mark. I see your point. For the same SP, the mVests increases as time goes, which is great! But one thing I don’t understand is that if I don’t perform any action the past two years, the SP amount won’t change, only the vests right? But others vests also increases right? So my propotion of the vest still stay the same, except for Steem price went much higher in the past two years, I don’t see why it is profitable.
The same here, I didn't know about that part. The concept of Steem is so huge that if one spends a year here, he will keep learning new thing everyday.
Look, your SP doesn't magically go up. He's saying that the value did increase in the last two years, so people who bought in then did make a nice profit. It's a different story if you take a look at the last six months. There is no guaranteed that you will make money. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. He's a salesman.

Powering down then powering up again will result in less Steem Power depending on how long you hold it before powering up again. The amount is tiny when you talking short term it is almost insignificant.

Hi sr i would like to ask u when what is more cost effective.. buying steem power or buying upvotes to get the steempower... and the nathanmars comment its very reasonable.
Using up-voting bots makes STEEM stay $3 @ forever my friend.
No newbies want to buy even a small amount of STEEM
If you want $100 STEEM then, you must give some rewards for new steemians. If not STEEM will go to $0
If you want to win, we win together or newbies will go where they get reasonable reward for their contribution.
Time to decide my friend

This world has more serious problems to be solved than supporting comedy content producers.
You can do what you want with very limited time given to you.

When steem price reach higher price ($100), there will be so many people will have financial freedom around the world.

Do the work you enjoy and do it where it like the most.
May be Steemit not for you.
Most important thing is that you’ve tried and failed. Life is an experiment too.
I think this guy should post photos of girls with big boobs instead of muscled men
At least you know what you want for yourself. Good luck with you and your dream big boob girls. lol
That social media network would be Sola.ai , if you not there already. Cats, boobs and butts are pretty much it over there.
Blasphemy you don't like the Arnold!!
hey it's me, the new steemian.
Welcome to the Steem world:)))
As a newbie I haven't purchased steem. I want to but it is very expensive and won't change my influance. I'd need to spend $US5000 to increase to a good upvote amount and I don't have that amount of cash.

So by powering up you just are immune to the effect of dillution by newly created steem (inflation). Self upvoting for visibility.
even less, you'll get will get just more than 10% of that 17% (it's more like 18.5%) .....go see my comment to markymark below.
Never understood people that self upvote their own comments
SBD should be consider as Steemit's currency. Which means people need to buy SBD and convert it into Steem. If people can buy Steem directly, then SBD will be useless. Steemit board needs to consider, whether to keep SBD by stop Steem trading or get rid of SBD.
If SBD is effectively pegged to $1 it becomes very valuable for commerce. Unpegged it is just as useless as a second big toe.
The only way to make SBD valuable is get rid of Steem trading. Ironically in Australia, you can trade Steem but not SBD.
Why is it useless? This makes no sense. Especially when it has high value.
It offers nothing that STEEM doesn't when it isn't pegged to $1.
Nothing? That's logically incorrect. The payouts come in Steem Dollars. The higher they are the more value people get in return.
The payouts come out in STEEM Dollars "now", but if we decide the peg no longer exists and will not be enforced it can easily be switched to STEEM and SBD can be removed without any impact on the system.
Right now, of course, SBD has some use because it is being used by Post Rewards, bots, and it has a value, but it can be removed and all that can be handled by STEEM.
Perhaps. But Steem Dollars sounds cool. We should keep it.
Best.Argument.Ever. Haha
yes. sbd is like bitcoin, steem and steem power like
mining machine and electric power
Why do you want to get rid of SBD?
I don't, I just want SBD to be more useful.
You think it's not useful right now?
It's heading to that path
No
This is properly explained and it is easy to understand. Thanks for this post.

I didn't know that. I have taught that if you power up 1000 STEEM you get same amount when you power down. Thanks :-)

STEEM per mvests goes up only about 2% per year now. In the beginning of STEEM it went up a lot faster.
https://steemit.com/steemdev/@jesta/historical-rates-for-vests-and-steem#@hpauric/re-jesta-historical-rates-for-vests-and-steem-20180104t103529498z
It's definitely not as much now but it does go up a bit and far more than institutional interest rates.
is it valuable to a user to power down and rebuy steem vs leaving it in the account>
Powering down then powering up again will result in less Steem Power depending on how long you hold it before powering up again. The amount is tiny when you talking short term it is almost insignificant.
In the early days there was 100% inflation, that's why he got the numbers he did.
Now, if you power up you get 7% inflation. So if you power up 1000 steem, and then power down a year later, you get 1070 steem.
