RE: World Crypto Network: Most clueless people regarding Steemit?

in #steemit8 years ago

Yeah some of these guys are hacks for sure. They all seem to be bitcoin purists. I just don't understand bitcoin purists. These guys hate on all things not bitcoin. I guess I understand confirmation bias and other biases that I am invested in, but just bitcoin and nothing else, just don't get it. They make no good technical arguments of why something non bitcoin is bad or will fail. All opinions.

Sort:  

It's an economic argument/fear that the pie is fixed and that value can't be "grown". Anything that isn't bitcoin is stealing potential value inputs to the demand and price of bitcoin.

I don't think they consider the multiplicative effect that things like Steem and Ethereum do for expanding the net.

I agree. Also I would add not just expanding the net, but expanding bitcoin and bitcoin adoption. As of real recently it seems as if Steemit has done more for crypto interest/adoption than anything else yet. Kind of sneaky, sort of carrot on a stick. Like "hey kid, you want some $$??.... Well you will have to learn how to change this crypto asset that you earned from your post into dollars on an exchange". I love it!
