RE: Are You Really Playing The Steem Long Game?
I want to use the platform to take Steem to low income communities in Romania, help others write quality content, support and curate them, and help them get to the rewards, while they could get their voices heard and for some of them it might even prove to be a way to get noticed and land a job or educate themselves. You know the state of the affairs in our country and how uneducated people are forgotten and manipulated into voting the wrong thing every single time. I feel that this would be the long game and the reduction in rewards would hinder it. I feel I am in the long game but for my project it's not that good of a news. Also, how do you think SMT will fit into all this? Thanks for supporting us and representing us in such a good way here :)
Agree about the long game and I like your vision. Education is key. But I don't see how rewards reduction will hinder it.
In a way, SMT can play the role of SBD now. If a certain token issued on the STEEM blockchain wants to go to the moon, so be it. But SBD has a very special relationship with STEEM and too much of SBD and STEEM mingling is not good. SMT will be less "coupled" with STEEM, hence it will go as high as people will want to.
It's the human nature to balance work and rewards. My problems trying to push Steem into low income communities come from:
-distrust in general( of social networks, of the income source, of the technology and of cryptocurrency)
-basically they didn't even start to contribute and they are afraid that the bubble will implode with their future worth :)
-the possibility to cash out( they WILL cash out every single penny at least for the first couple of months, I am sure of it) They don't have access to crypto markets and just want an easy way to get that money out. Trying to convince them that crypto is the future is useless since they can't buy bread with crypto and switching their communities to crypto and changing the way they all think is a not a real option.
I will seek more answers, maybe we can try and help them somehow.
