RE: Does Steemit Need To Reach A Unanimous Agreement To Hard Fork Like Ethereum?
I'm looking forward to Golos and see what that brings. It's good that they are doing more marketing before crowdsale as hopefully can avoid some of the similar accustations to Steem.
One thing to remember, as popular as blockchain tech is in crypto world, and the interest from the big companies/financial firms, it is in ways relatively fringe. And so get people involved, to get miners, witnesses, is not that easy, people have to have the strong interest in these techs and want to put their time in; it's expermental and therefore risky investment of peoples time. Just because Steemit did not have the presence then as now, does not mean anything malicius. people dont like to market prematurely. It is a hard decision.
So either way, say you did fork it, you will have same issues. And if you can get support and as many devs as Steemit sure it could be successful too. The end-users on Steemit now would try it, that wouldnt be an issue.
I'm saying that is it really a good thing for economy of Steem to distribute SP equally, this early, widely, to peole may or may not care of the ecosystem at all?
All I want is: A fair start. No ICO, no ninjamine, no premine and a Bitcointalk announcement that it's launching fairly. Simple really. None of that was offered with Steemit sadly :'( An old crypto fool fooled again!! GRRRRRR!
think of it this way, wth endgame plan of steem, a goal is to keep it pegged at the american dollar. If someone sold a lot of steem, and they are involved in platform, to buy it back at a low low price, isnt that likely game plan? too risky for some to invest now, but at a low ass price, something aimed to be pegged at an american buck...well it needs time t develop as economy. and steem is getting to be really big actually, in terms of interest and reach. Well if you compare it to ethereum wasnt it a year until it began a slight moon launch. iirc.
The chess endgame here is death by a thousand cuts - the worst path to checkmate!!
Let's make our fave Witnesses top witnesses! https://steemit.com/steemit/@radioactivities/rock-the-witness-vote-together-our-voice-matters

Heading over for the up-vote!
Steem needs to be able to be pumped easily....just a fact.
like bitcoin, there is centralized miners to an extent, whale wars. its just how the system works, imperfectly. so patience and hold a bit of steem.
I'm saying you are completely right, that it is an element of collusion and insider trading, that's crypto. It's just not what people think. It's not people voting high for accounts because they are simply friends, tho that happens sure, it is just a trust of intent issue. now its better that ppl who are in Steem for the long haul to have more funds, than random users who think 'oh log and get paid' for a little while, then they get tired of it, happy with the money and leave (because they dont like blogging much anyway and dont really care about crypto). so these things that go on, are not as malicious. people are bagholders, via time spent and paid in SP, devs are not Mr moneybags running off laughing evilly into the sunset
in the longer term, this will highly benefit you and I and end-users like us
and oooone more thing; they cant just publily declare something like this. and this s my opinion, formed by my observations, alone.
Excellent comments @radioactivities Thanks for them. They really add to the debate overall!
Thanks! You're the best mindfucker! i am writing soething about what us everyday end-users, minnows united can do...in actual terms...for what we want to see in Steemit. But it's Canuck thanksgiving weekend and I have to get drunk on the wyborowa.
which for slavic heritage people here the entire week should be called:
kapusta ponad wszystko
Its a real militaristic aproach to the use of cabbage for food here, I tell ya
A Cannuck going Slavic wildo! Ha ha! Those lines were funny. Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadians reading this ;)
