Senior @roleerob, Are you sure you wrote a way to convert coins from Steem to Hive?
It is difficult for non-English speaking Koreans like me. I understand why Koreans stay on Steem. I still do not know the concept and usage of blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Koreans understand Bitcoin as a speculative product only.
I read your text with a translator, but it is still difficult.
I will try it according to your explanation though. Thanks!
Yes, my friend ...
... I am certain. As mentioned in this post, I used each of these methods myself. I would not write about how to do it, when I had not proven it out for myself. I do not want "my name" attached to it otherwise.
From my perspective, many Koreans stayed on Steem because a number of the major Korean "influencers" were left out of the Hive airdrop. They had combined their stakes together and tried to play something of a mediators role between Sun and the "old guard" of Steem. They failed and paid a heavy price. That they are obviously not soon going to forget ...
If you have any questions @silvergrifin007, on following any of these steps, please let me know. I will do what I can to help you.
As referred to in a comment from an Australian friend above, you may also want to check into Beeswap. It may be a good "one stop shop" for someone like yourself. Be aware, however, I have not myself tried it, so I am not endorsing it. Simply bringing it to your attention ...
P.S. Yes, I agree with you on the difficulty. The difficulty extends beyond just your need to learn English. These blockchains themselves are complicated. Getting through this conversion process took me a lot of time. Which I would have preferred to invest elsewhere, but ... After HF23, I had no choice but to "solve the problem" ...
Dear @roleerob, As you say, it seems that many Koreans are excluded from the Hive airdrop. However, most Koreans don't know why Hive was separated from Steem.
Most Koreans can't speak English, so they can't communicate with foreigners, including Americans. So, Koreans cannot produce content that foreigners like.
So, only Koreans make a community and voting with each other, making coins. Because Koreans don't have the ability to communicate with foreigners like you.
Most Koreans are unaware of the decentralization and democracy created by Hive. So, they understand steem as a speculative product only.
There are no Korean sites and descriptions for Hive, so many Koreans follow the Justin sun.
I don't know the concept and usage and Mechanism of Steem and Hive, Cryptocurrency.
From the "outside" @silvergrifin007, a major problem with some key "influencers" inside the Korean community was their posting content with a picture and a word or two and then massive upvoting "circles" of each other's "work." This attracted major downvoting pressure, as this was seen as taking advantage of the rewards pool.
The Korean community engaging in these practices did not like this "attention." So, they did what they did. And here we are ...
I made numerous comments on the posts of several Koreans and got no response whatsoever. They seemed a very closed community, keeping to themselves. Which, of course, they are free to do. You have chosen to make the effort to communicate in English, using a translation tool. I have, at times, chosen to attempt the same, in reverse, as you know ...
As stated above, they are free to do this. But, they are helping one person reach their vision of the future, instead of a community of people. Hive has a lot of problems, in my view. I have been clear I supported neither side in all the "back and forth" between them. But, I have no influence. Given the choice between the two "virtual worlds" I have chosen this one. For now ...
As for not understanding yourself, I have and will continue to do what I can to help you. If you have specific questions, please ask them and I will do what I can to answer.
P.S. Please do not take the above comments about what I witnessed with the Korean Community as criticism of them. It is simply a statement of the "facts," as I have understood them in reading the posts and comments of others ...
Senior @roleerob , I agree with you! In fact, I did not join the Korean community because I hated the closedness and centralization of the Korean community.
I disliked the attitude of Koreans voting among themselves and trying to make money. I pursue the world's surprises and fun through meeting with foreigners.
I rather appreciate your honest advice.
Currently, the ruling classes of Korea, China, and Japan seek centralization. So, Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese are getting accustomed to collectivism.
So, the Korean community has a closed nature of refusing to talk with foreigners. The Korean ruling class hates the actions of Korean civilians to embrace foreign cultures.
The ruling classes of East Asia believe that decentralization in the United States will disrupt their monopoly of wealth and power.
Currently, the ruling classes of Korea, China, and Japan use the US dollar and technology as tools to create and monopolize their wealth and power.
So, the ruling class hinders South Korean civilians from receiving US capital and technology to create Korean civilian businesses.
Koreans are wary of foreigners because they have been plagued by Chinese, Japanese and Russian invasions from the past. Fear of acting to reveal their appearance to foreigners.
In particular, Korean kings severely punished Koreans who communicated Korean information to foreigners.
Koreans are afraid of new challenges and creative actions. Currently, Koreans are caught in fear and anxiety that China and Japan will reign over Korea.
In the end, they believe that the United States might abandon Korea.
Thank you for your kind!
I compare myself to the apostle Paul, who left and rejected the closedness of Jewish society.
I want Korean society to change.
