I do not care about the Tron blockchain, whether it (or any other part of it) is plagiarized or not. It is a shame that the already small Steem community has been split in half by the fork of the Steem blockchain to the Hive blockchain on March 20. Justin Sun's actions towards the Steem community are so disgusting. He basically ruined it.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I don't think it's a 50/50 split, more like 90/10 with hive having the 90%.
The only reason for activity on steem is steem-engine.
And people, to no fault of their own, double dipping on coins. In 13 weeks when all the actually users/voters have left, double dipping will be less attractive and will also stop. Especially if the token price falls.
I'm guilty of (I think this is what you're referring to.) double dipping. I'm posting here and on Steem. Since I kinda have more faith in large groups of individuals over singular persons tho.... I'm posting here first and engaging more here. I'm simply doing my regular posts on Steem and if anyone engages with me, I'll respond... but I'm not going over the top to read and engage over there like I am here. I'm more interested in the new things than the older anyhow. I know Steem, I know it well. This place is something which is essentially new. It's fresh. I love new things. I love fresh things. :)
I've also traded Hive for Steem, shamelessly. It was 2:1, I was able to get 2 Steem for every Hive. With a future so uncertain on either end of the spectrum... I just switched what I could out of both, to BTS, because I felt it had more functionality in the long term and would retain far more value if it were to crash, than either of these. I will not, however, be powering down my Hive. I will be growing it from here on out. I'll also continue to grow my Steem tho. I think it's just wise to keep up with both currently, with both futures being so uncertain in the short-term. There is no clear and concise path to take and while some feel there is, I feel that there is potential for anything to happen and that we should not be so quick to jump to conclusions. Call me overly cautious, idk, but I'd like to know that if one or the other tanks... I've not missed out on my earnings on the other. I'd like to ensure that I am not wasting time, while trying to do something that I've come to enjoy a good bit in my life.
Oh. Absolutely. No one is blaming anyone. You got to do what you got to do. But I think the incentive to post on steem will drop over the next 12-13 weeks as people power down.
The only activity on Steem is @haejin back to farming, Splinterlands and Steem-Engine. Only two of these provides any value to the future of the community hah.
And maybe NextColony, SteemNova and HolyBread.
NextColony is calling it a day after this 'season'
apologies, but it's a steem link
So they are shutting down the game? This is sad news. They should migrate to the Hive blockchain, as many other dApps done. Now I feel like I wasted my time on the game, because I have not achieved anything meaningful in the game. I only upgraded buildings and skills. I have not even had the chance to build an Explorer ship to explore the galaxy and earn Stardust (SD). The Explorer ship requires level 20 ship skill, level 13 shipyard building skill, level 13 shipyard building skill. I started upgrading the ship skill from level 19 to level 20 literally now. It will take 08:37:08. Yes. 8 hours, 37 minutes, 8 seconds. The progress in this game is slow. So probably many other players are in similar shoes. The shutting down of NextColony is another huge disappointment on the Steem blockchain.
I don't think he ruined it, I think he ruined himself. He thought it would be all sweet, come in and do what he wants, and he's been met with actual challenges now. I don't think he's invest in something just to let it fail. I don't know him, but it doesn't seem like he'd be where he's at right now with whatever he's done, if he had no sense about him. I'm willing to give this guy a shot, but the outlook so far is not great. I need to see some real action, some real care, some real willingness to take the new challenges he has head on and pursue a better Steem. Will he do this? Who knows. I can't give up just yet tho because the time he's been in control has been so miniscule compared to other regimes. We have no idea how he'll respond, in time, to the community and it's actions. I think a lot are being presumptuous, based off of prior behaviors of his... but the thing is, he's never dealt with this community and this community obviously isn't as simple as anything he's dealt with before. I want to see what the man is capable (or not capable) of. I say we accept that division can be a good thing and healthy... but also that it should (and hopefully will) cause people to have more introspection and grow to match the new challenges they are faced with. This guy doesn't sound like someone who wants to lose, so I think he'll try to win. The community is going to let him know, very clearly, what is successful with them and what is not. It's all about what he does with all of the feedback, that ultimately defines him here. People make poor decisions, he may have here already, but that doesn't fully take them out of the range of redemption. Changes of heart and mind take place daily and sometimes in those you least suspect. Ruining something only happens when it consistently fails to change from a state no one wants it in. As long as change is present... I don't see something as ruined. It may need to adapt over time and if it's not what the people want, it'll ultimately fail. Those who don't wish to fail tho, won't ignore the people... Not for long... lol
