RE: Steem Hardfork thoughts- Do this, stop tweaking the faucets, and let's work on sinks.
It's not that content creation didn't work and didn't add value.
We didn't market it, we didn't let natural markets develop, we didn't fight abuse and there isn't enough distribution.
Make the changes if it ads a sense of confidence, because we need that, but you aren't really presenting the picture fairly.
We have no hype, we have no leadership, we have no vision, we can't easily tell people what we do.
To build a business here that takes real money investment would likely be pretty scary for some.
Look, I'm not a fan of the changes, but they aren't a deal breaker, but it still doesn't promote steem, it centainly doesn't add a sense of confidence and the way it is being handled is just showing off the complete lack of distribution and why that matters in a dpos system. It is also showing off our lack of commitment to any one vision and looks like a bunch of people scrambling. In the words of several top witnesses. "What we have isn't working, let's try this". That is a great representation of exactly why it isn't working.
A huge thanks for all you've built and done as it is some of the best work on the chain.
I resteemed this because of your comment @whatsup, surely, am not the only one who resonates to this line most importantly
After the last time the price of Steem hiked, it kind'a feel like an abandoned project. The fact that the price went up last year means it's a success but for some reasons imho, when Dan and Ned left the boat it seems to have a hard time climbing. I can't help but ask sometimes, was this project meant to last for just two years? I do hope not. It was created in 2016, many market experts are already aware of the market pattern, somehow in 2018 the price went up.. was that just coincidence? Who knows, I can only hope this is not just any abandoned project , God help the witnesses.
EDIT : Somehow it feels like a boat in silent waters, no plan of where to go and I wonder how long can it bob in the water. I wonder what is steemit going to be five years from now ... would we still be alive? Am not the type who goes against changes but I've been skeptic the past forkings after HF18 ... I can't even remember which HF was the one that delivered the best results anymore. I do remember that was the time the reward pool went drained and some lost their post rewards when it was being executed.
Damn! haha. Youre turning into a grumpy grumpster. lol
Kind of remind me of me. Didnt mean that as an insult. hahaha
I flag trash (and morons). You have received a flag.
