"Why Would You Want to Bribe People With Zero Loyalty to Stay?"
This right here. You know its funny because im a "whale" people downvote my content. But what they dont know is that most all the money i earn is used to try to build further things of valur for our community. I worked for approx 3 years actually not making much of anything for funding before steem.
I showed the whales here over YEARS that if they give me funding at the very least i will use it to help and not just for my own direct benefit. So they upvote me.
They also know that at time when i COULD have gone out and promoted the next hot thing (even though i didnt believe in it) and get paid for selling out our tech. Never happened...
But when i get downvoted by whales and get frustrated new people like to say "this entitlement mentality is going to kill steemit!"
But the crazy thing is there are many people here who do deserve what they are getting if only to keep them from having to pay out of pocket to work on things.
Much of my upvotes from whales...i guarantee you...are seen as reimbursement for taking one hell of a risk and taking a loss for a long time to help us get where we are today.
There are many people like me...they just have to prove it.
Thank you for sticking by the platform even through some dark times. I know it isn't easy to do.
Oh dang. Bitshares hard times were the dark times. People who complain on steem have seen nothing! But now we have amazing things going on there too!
Steem is one of the first times we actually got to benefit from the tech we supported for so long. But many of us know we need to use the resources we earn to make more tools thst the community(s) need. So we do!
Thank u for appreciating. 😄
hello fuzzy, recently I hope to learn more about bts and ethereum, if you have time and don't feel bothered, could you point out some good sources, especially those comparing the two? ignore me if it is not convenient for you. thanks again for what you have done for Steem!!
Its difficult to find sources that are accurate on this one.
The reason is pretty simple to me: ethereum is like the Microsoft of crypto...while graphene is like the unix/linux.
Makes it really tough because one has the funding and larggelu ignores us because it would be harmful for them to ever compare themselves (it would only advertise us). And we have very little funding to document such things. But if u join the bts community you can ask away :)
Thanks! :)
I have some detractors here now too man, for the stance I have taken at times, but then again, I am not a suck up to those in power to get somewhere LOL...
All i can say barry...is we will get where we are going. Steem is still very young and is already considered one of the best techs out there by those "in the know".
I always appreciate your backing and your posts of appreciation :)
You are a huge value to this community and I am not sure anyone, incl. myself says this enough.
