What would it take, in your opinion, for Steem to take off?
Most of people, nearly 100% are here to earn money so the best solution is to develop an enviroment in which everybody can earn.
Many users enter here but they leave soon because of:
- Low quality of some posts (spammers, copy-paste posts, poor content)
- Abusers. People who flag without control
- Monopoly. Minnows can see how to became a whale it is a impossible mission.
- Bidbots. People bidding at the last second, a huge quantity, making everybody lost their money is something it should be "corrected" very soon. If someone tries a bidbot the first time and he/she dont earn or even lose SBD = bye to steemit.
To improve that points could improve steemit and the blockchain in general. The Steem needs confidence, only confidence.
