RE: My Vision - Steem & Steemit

in #steem7 years ago

Hi fellow vet @jackmiller

  • I just ran across you from @guiltyparties' Veterans on Steem daily highlights. Thanks GP!
    • Thanks for sharing your vision.
      That's pretty much what I saw shortly after becoming involved with Steemit. (I'm @ 57 days...)
      • The US became the greatest nation in the world while their government did little to no intervening in the everyday affairs of the people. Everyone had the opportunity to chase the American dream of their own definition of "wealth." Anyone with a bright idea and the fortitude to pursue bringing that idea to market could become wealthy. Unfortunately, the power brokers bought off the politicians and now the divide between the haves and the have nots is growing. The opportunity of creating wealth is also hindered through all the regulation and government hoops you have to jump through to bring an idea to market.
  • I'm kind of seeing the same thing happening here on Steemit. It seems those who created great wealth by being involved the right way at the right time are growing the gap between them and the minnows of the world. They can setup bots which create them money out of thin air, simply by delegating some of their wealth to it. I don't know that a new minnow can ever catch them.
    • A new person can create some income from scratch. And as you mention this income an be life changing for some areas of the world. However, this income might be nothing more than being able to occasionally purchase a nice meal at a nice restaurant here in the states. (definitely not life changing)
      • So, I guess my question is this...
        What improvements do you seek to the Steemit platform?

What improvements do the new users seek to the platform?

If new users are not going to stay and invite more new users, then there is no platform!
