RE: Why I Powered Up To Over ȿ10,000 STEEM

in #life8 years ago

By your votes, it appears many of us agree with you. I think you're bare bones about it, which is great. There is a lot of beauty in the simplicity of Steem, and I see the vision of 10 years from now. I hope it doesn't fizzle out, and I'd be sad if it did. But gee willickers, it really stands to succeed, in my eyes. I think we could be on the brink of something pretty great. I like what you did with the historical treatment of Google and FB. That was a nice touch. We could be them in a few short years.

I remember when Digg came out - everyone thought it was the best thing in the world. Does anyone remember delicio.us? Those sites started out with no business plan and ended up fading to obscurity. This site is different than 99.9% of online startups. Companies like Twitter build in order to sell. Steemit started out of the gate with a business model that encourages user stickiness and introduces a whole generation to the wonders of the blockchain. Its not about the people have decided this site is not for them - its about respecting people who are on here - and writing quality content that you think adds to the ecosystem here. Steemit wont fizzle - if they ever needed help there are a ton of companies like Yahoo or AOL that love pet projects like this. More likely -some of us would pool resources and the community would buy the site.. come to think of it that sounds a little bit like Animal Farm ;)
