RE: What is Steemit?

in #awakening7 years ago

@dannyshine, a very nice read, especially the comments from @rudyardcatling, As an advocate of steemit, and a person who wants it to be all the good it potentially can be, I hear all of these sentiments with a struggle and reluctantly agree that they are accurate, all be it negative sentiments. There are, however in my opinion, far more positives and potentials than negatives, as with any social experiment, you have to take the rough with the smooth. I am trying to influence positive behaviors on the platform from whales and minnows alike though several initiatives i support, these may or may not work. I think a long term view, only risk what you can afford to lose and seeing what mischief you can get up to on here in a way to enjoy the experience, is my advice. additionally i would like to say that it is not nice that a lot of steem is concentrated with whales, however, it does not matter how you look at it, they are the ones that took the risk and have given the steem price its present value. At our (humans) current level of wisdom, this is the best system we have come up with so far to reward risk takers and incentivize value creation. If there is another let me know, if you want to distribute steem to other members, that is exactly what is going on now with whales up voting minnows. if you want a new platform that does this from the start, good luck finding investors to support the value reward token's price. in all very interesting and thought provoking! STEEMON!
