Well, shit! Every time I think things are going to be okay, I wake up to some news like this. I guess it's back to the Craigslist jobs section for me because it sounds like I won't be able to count on any of my pending payouts for my upcoming rent like I was hoping. I guess that's what I deserve for living hand to mouth while trying to make an escape from the system for me and my friends.
And just when things were finally beginning to work themselves out so that I could really focus on doing stuff I love and not worry so much about keeping my head above water, while giving my fellow teenyfish a hand up in the process... Darn it. Oh well, right? Too bad for us.
So, like, @berniesanders, if you're gonna wipe me out, could you just please do it fast like ripping off a bandaid? It's been a really hard year for me transitioning to full time steeming and if it's all just going to be taken away, I guess I'd prefer the guillotine over the garrote.
p.s. I'm sorta kidding around here but not about the anxiety of being at your mercy. I wish you'd reconsider.
You are asking the wrong person. It's absurd to think that when I am attacked I will not go on the offensive.
I suggest you talk to @fulltimegeek and open his eyes to the real world.
Bottom line is that all you guys need to realize that this place is going to die without new blood. You can take what you can, but the "take" is getting smaller every day. When I got here 10 months ago, Steem was $8... Now its $0.80 ... That means its lost 90%.
You and @fulltimegeek can fight all you want (and add in @haejin too), but the bottom line is that people like me are leaving in droves. You can fight for the scraps and maybe live another year, but I'm telling you this place was loved by many at one point. It was something that kept us coming back religiously. Now... not so much.
And if you think that limiting people's ability to be "social" (like @ned wants) is the answer, then you are in the "grab what you can" phase that he's in.
Its ok to do what you want. All of you. This is life and people should be free to make their own choices. But if you don't open your eyes and see what is happening below you, then you will wake up one day and say "wow, why didn't anyone tell me".
I suggest a different path...
was revolutionary... That made Steem attractive. If you turn it into another cryptocoin, then it will suffer the fate of the other 99% of alt coins out there. Think about what makes Steem special, and you guys have the answers if you focus on what your competitive advantages are.I suggest that you and @fulltimegeek and others like you quit bickering and talk some fucking sense into @ned. Steemit
Good luck to all... I'm out.. Thanks for listening to those that got this far!
Hey, @fulltimegeek... @berniesanders wants me to ask you to open your eyes to the real world.
There. That oughta do it.
