Bitcoinmagazine: 50 USD transaction fee and Energy Consumption is no issue and should not be included in Weiss Rating

in #bitcoin6 years ago

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/op-ed-weiss-cryptocurrency-ratings-are-laughably-bad/

Bitcoin Maximalists stay on the sinking ship no matter what

I must admit I do not like the necessity to open channels and so on, that the Lightning Network offers as a solution of Bitcoin's scalability issues.

Bitcoin magazine says that this is only because of the number of users. This is pure bullshit when one compares it to the number of transactions for example on the Steem or Bitshares network which process 5 times the transactions that Steem processes without a hickup on a daily basis. If I use that as a basis Steem should be worth a trillion USD, today.

They just hold on to old believes, they think that the cryptomarket is not as dynamic as it is. And that a letter will not replace email, because letters are so stable and have been around for thousands of years. Bitcoin will not be replaced no matter how awkward it is to use and how expensive transactions are (even in Lightning Network you have to pay for channels and for transactions).

Tone Vays also is one of those guys who has been around for only a few years and having a Wall Street background (the innovative WallStreet you know?). He is also a Bitcoin Maximalist. He called Steem even a scam, as he did not understand the white paper. Now, a few years later Steem, the scam, is having all of the innovation and interesting real life benefits Bitcoin will never have!! Like:

  • instant feeless transactions
  • d.tube Youtube replacement
  • dlive.io Ustream replacement
  • dsound Soundcloud replacement
  • steem banking and curency system replacement
  • Smart Media Tokens, ERC20/Ether replacement
  • Passive Income for delegating Steem Power
  • last but not least, steemit - facebook, reddit and twitter censorship-free replacement

Also, Steem is the only way for a content creator to make some money today, this draws all the creative minds and their millions of followers to this eco-system. This is massive!!

Steem is undervalued totally!! I think that people investing time and money in this platform will be better off than in Bitcoin...

And that, my dear friends of Bitcoin magazine, is why Steem is a buy and Bitcoin is not!

$ 50 fee in the deal is unreasonable.This is nonsense It is theft @mexbit

The 50$ fee just was a short-cut example I used for the bad user-experience which seems to not matter to bitcoin magazine. It is not been said like this, but if bitcoin at 150 billion should be a stronger buy than Steem at 1 billion it implies that the transaction fees of Bitcoin are no issue. And I have seen transaction fees of 280 usd. Jeff Berwick said, for a large transaction of subscription fees he had to pay 2000 usd in fees. (I guess because of the large kb size of the transaction.)
For me thia means you cannot use the currency for small transactions anymore...

@mexbit - Sir the world is moving out of 1st generation crypto currencies... While world is moving to 3rd generation cryptos BTC is trying to keep their transaction fee as it is...

Thanks for resteeming!

Great share. BTC is crazy right now...fees are WAY TOO HIGH and SLOW for every transaction. Steem and SBD is super quick and no cost...how can you even compare?!

50 USD fee in a trasaction is totally ridiculous, i mean if you go to a place where they acept bitcoin and you order your lunch after you eat your food and you go to pay the bill and the value is $13 and you if you pay with btc your lunch will cost $63 something totally unacceptable.

As you say the energy spend mining so we have to change the ship and adopt blockchain 2.0

Thoughts about this cyptomarket Created with Sketch. schmitymctit (42) in btc • 7 months ago. If you have one bitcoin, current price is $2165. I was doing some thinking and trying to decide what way is the best to earn with cryptocurrency. I believe, one day cryptocurrency will be the future. I'm trying to decide which would be ..
thanks for sharing @mexbit

There is positively no motivation to twist around for direction. The requirement for government officials achieving agreement is finished. It's a great opportunity to have a go at something new with zero waste zero misrepresentation and zero defilement all without the viciousness.

I completely agree with you that old technologies like Bitcoin and others are already going to the past because of their lack of profitability. In return, others must come and the Steem in this regard is an excellent alternative. I'm sure the time of full sunshine for the Steem is already behind the door and remains very little, what would this door open! Thank you @mexbit

I purchased my first BTC in 2015, and when I did, I was scolded. The naysayers said that my money would be gone; they said that the cypto market was too volatile and unpredictable. The notion that BitCoin is unpredictable was largely contradicted in 2016, and many predict it becoming more valuable - especially if current ...

@maxbit Resteemed......

Thanks for resteeming!

You are correct bitcoin can't contend steem in any mean. He is extremely not understanding the white paper of steemit that is the reason he is allowed to state steem is trick.

great information..
Resteemed @maxbit

Great post
Resteemed and upvoted

I love steem More then Bitcoin coz of this platform
but one thing I do not like about Steemit, is that millions of people can read your articles or whatever, and you won't get paid. Why? Because if they DO NOT BELONG TO STEEMIT you do not make any money

In Facebook you get never paid.... even if they belong to Facebook. But if many people read your posts on Steemit you can convince them to sign up and start blogging themselves, so that they eventually get dragged into the ecosystem as well...

they want to keep people away.dictatorship!

Thank you for sharing :)
Upvote & resteem buddy.

Thanks for resteeming!

50 USD charge in a trasaction is absolutely ludicrous, I mean in the event that you go to a place where they acept bitcoin and you arrange your lunch after you eat your sustenance and you go to pay the bill and the esteem is $13 and you on the off chance that you pay with btc your lunch will cost $63 something absolutely inadmissible.

I absolutely agree with you, This is pure bullshit when we are compares in the number of transactions. STEEMIT is give us best opportunity to earn by write your gOod content. ThankyOu for letting us know gOod info !!

There is absolutely no reason to be bending over for regulation. The need for politicians reaching consensus is over. It's time to try something new with zero waste zero fraud & zero corruption all without the violence.

so informative post.
thanks for sharing

Bitcoin is one of the biggest opportunities since the invention of the internet itseif....great times to be around...............

You are right bitcoin cannot compete steem in any mean. He is really not understanding the white paper of steemit that's why he is free to say steem is scam. 😏

you create some great information...i hope everybody like your post....thanks for shear it...

You are pretty much well with this opinion. As for now, steemit promotion is on peak on different platform and Twitter also starting to use tag #promo-steem then no doubt it can be a good investment for those who learned deeply and understand the ups and down.

I loved steemit as much as I love myself because its not like a bullshit Facebook which is not paying author rewards easily. So, how can it be SCAM? :/

Not sure if Tone Vays still has the same opinion... perhaps he has learned that it is not a scam... Facebook never pays anything to authors.... they are enjoying a free ride. I guess that someday it gets boring on Facebook when only mainstream approved opinions can be spread. I would not waste one minute of my time there...

Thank you very much
I am glad I found you article
I am interested in the civic coin
I will definitely buy a few and make an exodus wallet too
It seems to be a very good useful coin
Thanks again

Outstanding perfomance for bitcoin...
Thank's for sharing
It is about making you think from a different perspective.
Excellent post good analyses thanks for sharing.

I agree. STEEM has so much more to offer than bitcoin, yet so many fail to see that. Bitcoin will never become as good as STEEM and it's only getting worse when there's more people use bitcoin, because it's slow and expensive. It's the maximalists that keep it alive...

The maximalists think that they are so avant-garde, but they are really a cryptoversion of the stand-still mentality of society.

@mexbit thank you are arty cal
##Upvote/Resteem###

@mexbit, Well explained here about totally title. 50 USD transaction fee is massive for exchange. But steem exchange no fee for transactions and more facilities indeed for steem tokens more than bitcoin. Steem is too faster. But bitcoin transaction very slow. In future Steem token will come to top of the list than BTC. I can't accept Bitcoin magazine said all. Why they totally undervalued steem? However you gave more important news.
Resteemed.

Steem has got it all covered in a single block chain that no need of other such coins like bitcoin but people just need to realise what they are missing right now

@mexbit sir...
Digital money can make us rich to deal with ourselves. I genuinely trust that. Be that as it may, what I additionally accept is that it will influence us to sufficiently fit to serve the penniless also.

It is absolutely difficult for all to give. Every one is battling in their own specific manners. In any case, that is the magnificence of life is it not? One who has seen the intense time will identify towards the one enduring. Such a one when independent can promptly consider helping other people. When I put in endeavors to gain, I should put in little endeavors along to share.

One might be poor out of absence of education, another might be expected life's weight of overwhelming obligations, another might be out of sheer apathy and some might be not able meet the sudden needs of life. In any case, the truth of the matter is same. They all need assistance. From numerous points of view it can be tended to....
Cheers~~

steem deserves to be on the no 1 place why bitcoin is still there don't know

for content creators i don't think they will get any better chance than this in their entire life ...resteemed

what's the name of that magazine the fees are just getting overprices a lot with no real life usage resteemed this post

Great post....steemeet is great now....@mexbit (60)

steem is a power which everyone has to understand its potential i hope everyone will think upon it

That's a big rating transaction fee money.That's not fair this transaction fee.

bitcoin will never have those things in its entire life for sure

bitcoin is not a great buy but steem is definitely a great source to earn more

LOL, $50 is too much, the price is still around $1K. What happens if the price goes up to $100K?

very undervalued still makes me so sorry to feel about but it will take a time

but steem is really a dynamic thing and has the best covered in a single blockchain

if i had to choose between steem and btc forever
i would choose steem any day

It sure is a bad side for BTC that is for as it is .In coming period people sure will look for backup plans and as for Steem little by little it is gaining recognition and in no time it will explode and the facilities you have stated will sure improve the usage of Steem in the blockchain network !

Steem on !
