RE: Steem as a Digital Currency

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

I enjoyed reading this blog and every comment here, i would like to stress in some points and give my humble opinion :
.
First of all great blog @furion, thank you for time and effort, i have been searching for info about STEEM potential as cryptocurency and why price is falling in such a dramatic way.
Really i didn't know some of your good points about STEEM as cryptocurrency.
I think your point about payment app is crucial, to take STEEM from experiment credit in Beta test social platform to currency that people can really use.
.
@snowflake point about Reducing power down period to minimal is mandatory i think, without giving a chance for double vote, delay pay out crate unstable market, price can fall any time, it happened before, happening now and it will happen again.
.
@nanzo-scoop, I think anonymity is over evaluated in cryptospace, i mean if I am not drug dealer or doing something wrong and my coins is protected well against hackers, I won't care that much to be invisible (take a look at BTC).
.
@cryptofreedom have a good explanation that people give away their STEEM easily specially if they got it as a reweds, I thought same way before but i think this is not the real problem, i think about blogger as a miners they earn every coin for making platform alive and attracting new comer. like mining when difficulty increase price follow it and it will if new miners\steemian join the platform.
This will lead us to the last and best point.
.
When I open a discussion about STEEM in Poloniex troll box where you can find a traders and some investors they all have negative impression about STEEM for example they used to say " STEEM take our money and give it to bloggers" or something in same meaning, such a claim come only from people don't understand STEEM or STEEMIT. In fact a lot of people in cryptospace still think that steemit is a scam.
Like @son-of-satire said "We need to find a way to get this info outside of Steemit and in front of the eyes of the masses"
Thnx again for the blog & the helpful discussion :)
