RE: An Absolute Price Crash is the Best Thing for Steemit as a Platform
More than an ounce of truth here!!
I was thinking along similar lines lately. What I thought was I wonder at what price will all the opportunists will ditch the platform again
Perhaps I am being harsh lol
I think this pull-back was necessary and extremely healthy for a number of other reasons, too. After the spectacular rise in crypto this year, the charts desperately needed a huge drop. This rise was so fast it's almost like a gap in the chart that needs to be filled. On top of that, this huge Bitcoin Scaling issue (I call it the Trojan Horse) is causing way too much uncertainty, which markets hate. I don't think there is even an outcome that will lead to improving bitcoin currently on the table, as I've noted in my Trojan Horse article.
I think we'll shake a lot of people off the platform in the near future, but if I had to wager, it won't necessarily be those named in the original post. They may go dormant for a bit though, choosing whatever venue they feel is most profitable for dispensing their individual types of content.
I did think a correction was coming but hoped that it wouldn't.
As for the platform, sure. A lot of newbies will go if it drops, the follow for follow brigade for one. Some of the folk that left last time didn't come back even though at one point it looked like everyone had. It will be interesting to see. Soon ;0)
The real question is, will the opportunists leave then, or will they try to take advantage even more? We want the creatives to join, right? Will they choose Steemit over, say, blogspot? The UI needs to improve.
The app is coming soon. That will help. If its good that is. I think the opportunists will leave. They did before. Quite unashamedly. Then when they came back some of them had the most comical posts explaining their absence. Something like.
*Hey guys, it wasnt because of the money, life got real busy. But hey now the money is back so am I. Wait, Imean, I have so much I want to share with you guys. Quick, here is a blog post I shared on my blog in 2015 that I have reposted for
the rewardsyouI think people will choose steemit. Blogspot is awful these days. There are other platforms but I have a feeling steemit will be abig player
Here's hoping! I've been surprised by the positive response I've gotten from friends. There's less skepticism than I would have expected. I think as long as I say simply "it's a blogging site I like", they'll come check it out.
