The short term mentality of most the participants of this blockchain is the biggest of the hurdles Steem must overcome in order to succeed.
I couldn't disagree more mate. The biggest hurdle in my opinion is understanding exactly how broad a church this is and remembering that the majority of this community are NOT first world middle class.
We need to realise Steemit means radically different things to every member and not try to create and implement a 'one solution fits all approach'.
Good luck with @helpie, I'm sorry I'd never heard of it either but will read up.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend fella :-)
I don't disagree with you, but we currently have an inexistent middle class. less that 1% of Steem users have more than 500 SP - Now, look at this chart.
great chart :-)
Problem is, firstly, the distrobution of rewards amongst those countries, and secondly, Indian and Indonesian accounts contain, more than likely, a higher proportion of scam and spam accounts....which although its a fun pie chart, doesnt make it of much use!
Steemit is like an impoverished nation, all the wealth at the top, hungry at the bottom and fuck all in the middle!
