RE: Perspective: Steem was meant to be for content creators and consumers

in #steem7 years ago

The difference is, this is a free market with no regulation. History shows us such societies have led to rampant inequality and abuse of power. The greedy opportunists rule these worlds. So too, Steem.

Sort:  

Right, but this time they boast and lock their words along with their transactions into a blockchain for all to see.

Earlier I wrote a satirical piece about plagiarists. One thing I mentioned was:

Not many thieves would walk into a store and kindly announce their name along with the fact they're planning on taking as much as they can carry out the door.

I sarcastically thanked them for being so open and honest with us. It helps.

So whatever. Change the word thieves to greedy opportunists. Say thanks. Done deal.

They don't really care about their words. They'll leave the platform, dump their Steem, and that's the end of that. Instead of prison, they'll probably buy a bungalow in Panama.

Exactly. These words are also locked in, but they mean something.

More people finding out the truth about them leads to them having less influence and maybe a small tent to set up on the curb, in cracksville, where they belong.

Anyway. Thanks for writing this and helping create a bit of awareness. Have a good day.
