The other day, while reading the surprisingly positive Bloomberg article on Steemit and the potential of blockchain technology, I took it upon myself - for the first time - to actually Google Steemit.
After having Googled Steemit I clicked on the Wikipedia link to read the opening description, which reads as follows: "Steemit is a blogging and social networking website on top of the Steem circlechain database. The Steem blockchain produces Steem and Steem Dollars which are magic bean tokens users obtain for posting, discovering, and commenting on interesting content".
I had to do a double take to make sure my eyes were not deceiving me and, after having checked back the following day, noticed the same, unedited line referring to Steem and the Steem-backed dollar as 'magic bean tokens'.
So, here we have a hugely influential, top-five ranked website influencing its readers to dismiss Steemit as nothing more than a seemingly magical website which distributes fairy dust, or 'magic bean tokens', to its users.
I suspect Wikipedia is controlled and edited by some very nefarious groups, so it should come as no surprise to see 'the world's largest online encyclopedia' trying to sabotage a disruptive and revolutionary technology which threatens its very existence.
I think it's about time Wikipedia got Steemified; we now have DTube, Dlive, Dsound and many other emerging decentralized platforms which reward users for their input via the Steem blockchain.
...Dpedia for 2018?
Dpedia would be excellent!
Someones surely working on it as we speak.I love how steemit integrates AI like magic8ball to comment on the viability of a post. That'll have to be applied on Dpedia as opposed to using certifying authorities that are open to bias.
bahaha, that magic8ball comment cracked me up.
yeah, you'll see plenty of cryptos trashed all over Wikipedia...I think it's just snipping from fanboys of competing cryptos or just plain dick moves by folks who have no freaking clue about cryptos (which of course is the vast majority of the population).
You should read the wikipedia page for IOTA...holy crap does that crypto have some enemies!
To the question in your title, my Magic 8-Ball says:

Probably someone thinking to be funny
The fact that they talked of it being mere magic disgusts me...magic seems more of a fairly tale or fantasy....they should work on it..
Wikipedia is old tech while Steemit is new tech. Waiting for a new Steem-powered Wikipedia based on blockchain and a reward system similar to Steemit.
Wikipedia is controlled by those who edit. The page carnism was deleted over and over, because people don't like to have information they don't like getting out. I don't know if it's back up, but this was a few years ago...
Synchromysticism - I'll be posting an article on carnism in the next day or two.
