This meme references the interesting Live Steem Debate, involving Steemit's Blakemiles84, Bitcoin's Tone Vays and moderated by Thomas Hunt of the World Crypto Network.
Blake's notification post is here
An excellent response to the debate by modprobe can be found here
Any SD awarded to this post will be donated to SteemClean efforts.
Wow! This made me read your SteemClean post and I will also read that respond to the debate.
I'm very happy about that! Thank you. I'm very glad to give visibility to the debate. It's so important that we understand the issues of communication that go beyond Steemit and Steemers.
shortly about the main things. Thanks for concentrated truth.
Blake looked much more convincing. Tone's arguments level was rather low.
Iosif Shklovsky (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iosif_Shklovsky) memoirs. "In fruitless debates I used simple trick - I said "Don't simplify!", then in two minute - " you're complicating too much". After two or three such sequences, opponent looked lost and dazzled".
I agree with your observation. Tone also tried to undermine Blake's credibility by undermining his own...for me that was a very odd tactic to employ.
One does not simply understand steem.. So its better to call it whatever you think it is than to really take time to read the white paper, ignorant Tone...
good one. The trouble is I don't think Tone wants to understand steem....and that is part of the problem for him.
so i paid a visit to Tone's twitter account, every single one of his tweets are about steem and steemit, all i have to say is thanks for the free publicity. You should take a look
I will...i guess it depends on what he's saying as to wether or not it's fishy :)
I am your new follower. Wish I had read your posts much earlier.
That's wonderful. Thank you very much
Glad to see you followed my recommendation and looked up cognitive dissonance. I take partial credit for this post ;)
Lol! Indeed you should ;)
Great. I like to support the SteemClean and Live steem debute. It will make Steem to stand out over over social networks. Go steemit.
Let's hope so!
Good post dude!
Thank you
Good post
Bravo-Excellent post, thank you for sharing.
My pleasure
Not sure if you are a bot blow....so thank you for the upvote and comment. If you don't respond again to this post, i'll have to assume you are a bot for next time (if there is one) and I won't be able to upvote your comment, sorry.
I'm not a bot) My English is poor, sorry ) I'm using a translator
That's great! Thank you very much for your support, it is very much appreciated. Don't worry at all about your English.....thank you for the posts!
Maybe if you are afraid of bots, you can ask cheetah or someone else? And about the post - you mem posts are one of the shiny things on steemit.
Don't worry. It is very clear you are not a bot and you really can't help having bots swarm you for certain actions. Don't worry too much about it, just keep posting whenever you like.
@benjojo I salute you for helping a baby's surgery. I really admire people like you. Godbless You!
btw, Im not a bot, bot means "best of time"
thank you
Nice to meet you and your meme-posts again!) Maybe you will do some memes with Futurama?)
Maybe ;)
i think you have a bunch of bots voting up your comments.
Great post, good to know someone actually cares :)
Upvoted
Thank you. I care deeply for constructive criticism....but there was little effort in that direction, though it can be challenging to try to argue one side of a debate.
I should make charitu for myself soon .:p
Jk . i didnt have a time to watch the debate yet . just gonna park here to get the link later ;)
cool! I'm really looking forward to hearing about your project.
Man i really hate with all these typos .
I should stop typing so fast .
Great idea. If all the a little features together will be a hugh success. Thanks
Thank you
That was good @benjojo!
Cheers sir.
Good stuff. Keep it coming
How do you have this meme without it including the phrase, "One does not simply.." in it? Boromir frowns at your shenanigans :(
That bit is implied and there was already quite a bit of text :)
Upvote!))
Very nice!
This Cognitive Dissonance has slowed down scientific progress for many decades and it's all because of money and power.

This link below is very sad proof of what Cognitive Dissonance has caused.

Thank you for this excellent comment. I read and upvoted both your posts because I thought they were excellent and highly relevant.
Thank you.
another good one , upvote
Thank you very much
have to confess that im not a fan of the trending section, so i never got to read the responde of the debate until now. I also looked into your SteemClean post, and saw some of my neighbors interested in your idea, i'll be seeing them later to discuss your ideas. thank you
Just wow. I'm glad I helped to positively curate for you and so so happy you are interested in SteemClean. I have some funds (not too much yet) that are available to help so just let me know if you need them!
You know, there is sometimes a sunday-cleaning-day in my city. You gave me a good idea - to clean city with the steemit Logo. Maybe it will be a good advertising for steemit and a good deal for environment.
Awesome idea!!
i'll keep you updated about our plans
yeah, letsdo it
this meme its really true
yeah @benjojo we are interesting to do steemclean here whit @rnobrega, Maracay Venezuela, we are a good team.
Absolutely fantastic! Do you need any funds at this stage? I can calculate how much is available....you are welcome to it. All i ask is that you document your effort and make a post to the community about what you've accomplished and how it went. I'm sure you already get the idea completely, but for clarity...you will keep any SP and use the SD yourself for your next SteemClean, another Steemer's project or to help the SteemClean fund account (yet to be set up.) I'm truly thrilled. Thank you. I hope you can use Steemit to build a reputation for transparent, accountable, productive SteemCleaning ;)
sure, let me write in a papper this weekend all ideas and show to my steemers friends
Lol! I'll try to bear that in mind! ;)
Great post! Definitely got me thinking. It is very easy to tear people down and I do not usually realize how hard they have worked to get there, and most of the time I may not even know what I am talking about!
You mean you don't agree with Tone when he says he has no technical expertise to determine if Steemit is actually blockchain but says it isn't anyway? But he got everyone all riled up...
lol fabulous.....that is exactly the kind of thing Tone said with which I take umbrage :)
my favorite thing about that debate was blake's constant 'ugh' look. It was like watching a grandson teach their grandparents about mining crypto
lol....lovely image. You are absolutely right!. To his credit, he remained very sincere in the face of Tone's nonsensical attempts to undermine him.
Maybe you can learn something from my mistakes:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@lorddominik007/trading-done-wrong-see-my-mistakes-so-you-don-t-have-to-see-yours
well that depends on how much people overthink their retarded statement before posting... but yeah usualy is the other way around.
And I was wondering when there will be new hot memes from @benjojo )
heh) nice meme for good debte by the way) upvoted
Live steem debute, wonderfull idea .
Waiting the next live steem debute...cheers
Your meme is always best
@benjojo Great images and post.
I salute your thoughts..
Hi praisenoone. Just wanted to check if you are a bot? :) I hope you don't mind.
I'm pretty sure he is :) Also nice post. I didn't get to see any of the debate, but I heard it was... interesting.
Thank you....and for the heads up!
i see, that you are looking for bots? why do you think they are attacking you?
I don't think they are attacking me at all. I think they can be a force for good in steemit! I want to distribute steem....even in small amounts... to those who want to engage with my posts. I think that is one of the best uses for my upvote power at the moment. That being the case, i don't want to waste upvote power on bot comments as it devalues the reward of all the other upvotes i award. Well that's my reasoning such as it is! :)
