You're goddamn right about the whales being treated weird, it's like they're the main investors in the platform. Without them, the platform doesn't exist. Minnows are worth a dime a dozen, it literally doesn't matter if a couple decide not to join. Of course in the end everyone matters, but ya know
the whales are the main investors they literally have the steem power wich gives them a huge influence over our postes.. they hold the majority of it
You don't mention the powering down over the last two months?
There's a reason why people are powering down, it's a symptom not a cause. Thanks for the feedback!
The price is going down but I wouldn't say steemit is "crashing and burning" in reality that initial price spike was completely un-realistic. We are probably honing in on the actual value right now. It should be peoples goal to help the site grow at this point.
Yes, the title was a bit of an over-statement, but I think my points are valid. The price was too high, and dropped after the July spike, but I think if enough quality users join, it could significantly increase (maybe not to $3.3, but close). Thanks for the feedback!
I agree 100%
Being here less than a month your sugestion of teaching newbies how to do everthing is a good idea. Without my son's (trevor.george) skype diretions I wouldn't know what do. Initially how many join expecting to make a fortune here anyway?
Well, I'd say some people do expect to make a fair amount of money, but to do that they need to know the basics of how to post. Thanks for the feedback!
Some good thoughts here! I don't think the price is plummeting as a direct result of too many steemit or steem related posts, but I do think that having non steemit related posts on trending is likely to attract a wider range of audience and potentially a larger audience overall.
I know for me personally, if I showed up to a blogging platform and saw a diverse group of topics making $50+ dollars I would sign up immediately. If I showed up to a blogging platform where only Steemit and Steem related posts were making $50+ I am not sure I would be as quick to join...
Yes, the drop can not be completely blamed on that, but I think a significant reason why it is not increasing has been due to the fact that new users feel slightly intimidated by these articles. Your personal feeling is pretty much the same as mine, thanks for the feedback!
Until the minnows matter in the math the minnows are not gonna stick.
If they could make a cup of coffee's difference in the math perhaps they might invest in the learning curve.
That doesn't matter if the minnows don't stick around long enough to learn about the math. However, I do agree some tweaking needs to be done in regards to a minnow's influence, but that tweaking does not extend to banning whales completely from voting. Thanks for the feedback!
No, of course not, simply raising the bottom to levels that will eventually add up is all that is needed.
Currently we are giving 1/10,000,000th of what a whale gives.
I'm told that can raise to 1/100,000ths without encouraging whales to divide their power into smaller accounts.
But that doesn't matter if people leave before they can even realize the system is flawed. We need to approach one problem at a time, that is a problem for when new users are actually interested in learning about the platform.
