I like the long-term aspect too, and have invested accordingly. But I also see it as probably unsustainable, or at least unappealing to possible investors. It appealed to me, but what do I know? :)
I totally understand why a more gradual approach would be preferred, under normal operating conditions. But this isn't normal. It's beta. What better time to really shake things up and see how the chips fall? By moving the sticks dramatically, there will be no denying the effects. If we moved incrementally, there could be valid arguments that changes were caused by external market conditions.
Let's tach this baby out while she's still under warranty. Then if she blows, we're not out in the wild. :)
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
As a beta tester, I expect major changes - but I've also seen a bunch of startups fail because they left their general users in the dark. So when major changes came, they all freaked the hell out. I'm still learning my way around GitHub, but you can bet that the majority of Steemit users don't have a clue what a pull request or hardfork is. Sadly, there isn't one "safe zone" where newbies/general users can get this information. They forget that they are part of a grand experiment possibly because they're so focused on their wallet that they forget to look up and see what's on the Steemit horizon.
So, yeah... tach it out - but please find a way to let your user base know that changes are coming. Posting it in feeds is too easy to miss.
Well said! After I left my comment I was thinking along the same lines how drastic moves do provide more data. Excellent point. Maybe that's why we're long term investors: we don't care as much about short term risk/fluctuation if it means a more stable future. :)
Ditto! :)
