RE: Are Investors Looking At What Happens On STEEM?

  • What the platform is, does, or how it's defined
  • Other (please specify)

What the platform is, does, or how it's defined. This is pretty much the catch 22 but to be more specific:

  1. Utility of the platform: Is it useful?
  2. Fault Tolerance / Redundancy: Is it reliable? Can I count on it to stay online?
  3. Susceptibility to cyber attacks (i.e DDoS, MITM, Brute Force): Is it secure and resistant to exploitation?
  4. Quality of curation: If this is isn't working, it will be especially evident on the trending page. We've had our ups and downs for sure!
  5. Integrity of the Rewards: Are we good stewards of our inflation?

There are many other aspects we could evaluate Steem such as the community, the people, but I just wanted to point out a few important ones I would consider on a technical level and a bit on a social level.

Thanks for the thought provoking poll!

Hey, @anthonyadavisii.

Thank you for the great analysis.

I like the breakdown, and I particularly like the way you couched 4 and 5, since the way you've put them make more sense to me as something an investor might be concerned with rather than a general term of reward pool abuse or flag wars.

The first three would seem to be primary among things investors would look at in any type of online system. It has to have a purpose, it has to do it well, and it has to be able to withstand everything bots/hackers/whoever might want to throw at it.
