RE: Want To Be A Steemillionaire? Here Are The Crucial Things To Do For Newbies on Steemit

in #steemit8 years ago

The market was going to solve this problem. @dollarvigilante earnings were trending down. I am sure that you whales will learn to spread your votes out too. Circle Jerks are going to form around people of like mind also. The follow and feed functions will enable this. For instance i will be following people who know how to engineer freedom and plan to make #buildfreedom a thing.

I've been talking with quite a few of the whales and dolphins and most of them are making a conscious effort to spread their voting power thinly over a lot of posts. There are just a few exceptions to this who believe that Steemit should be like a casino that motivates people to keep playing by dropping spectacular jackpots.

Actually a casino isn't about "spectacular jackpots", but it's about not being able to predict the size or time of the jackpot. When you spread the winnings around you actually make it even more like a slot machine rather than like a lottery. Since in either case of a slot machine or lottery there is no guaranteed win, it's like a casino regardless.

Steemit can only operate like a casino unless everyone is guaranteed a proportionate payout and in that case it becomes like a regular salary.
