It is true that it cant be manipulated by the banks but it sure can be influenced by the big names within the banks. For example Jamie Dimon's statement about Bitcoin being a fraud scared people out and created a buy in opportunity for the whales. FUCK THE WHALES! Stack those cryptos up and hold on for dear life people! Good things come to those who wait!
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Why F the whales? They are just people like everyone else, acting in their own self-interests. It's easy to condemn "the other" but I hope to be a nice, rich whale some day also. It was a buy opportunity for everyone, not just the whales.
But yeah, long term, it's barely a blip.
I was acting on emotion at the time but i should restate that as most whales. There are lots of whales that are greedy and don't give a damn about whats good for cryptos or the rest of society, they are just in it for the gains that they know they will get in this lucrative market. Take ancap47 for example, just another investor like the rest of us that is getting silenced by the whales. Steemit is losing freedom of speech because of whales like that downvoting someone until they lost all the steem they have accumulated on a post, and on top of that you cant even view the post anymore. Once again, acting on emotion when i said that because there are a handful of whales i do respect but its only because they have respect for the average investor.
Seems like an unstable whiner to me. 15+ posts going on and on because he was flagged? Seems to me he deserved it. Spamming someone's post comments with links isn't acceptable anywhere. That's what a flag is for. For this person not to understand that and then go on and on and on about it... kind of embarrassing.
I was flagged for months by a massive whale who was a self-described asshole. I didn't cry about it. I lost a lot of potential rewards but that's just it: they are potential. Anyone who bothers to read the white paper would know that. Didn't bother me too much because I'm not just here for rewards.
You gave a pretty poor example of whale acting poorly. Seems to me they did exactly what they should do and now Steemit is better off for it.
freedom of speech. that is all
People are free to say whatever they want and deal with the consequences of what they say. This person's actions are forever on the blockchain. They can be viewed by anyone via browsers like steemd.com. Thankfully, the steemit.com interface hides content from people like this who appear unstable and needing way too much attention. If you think their content shouldn't have been flagged, you're welcome to get your own Steem Power and give a counter up vote. You could even build your own blockchain front end if you don't like how Steemit displays things. It's all open source.
