I agree to some of the points made here! But to be honest, let's say you don't blog to make money (like how there are users utilizing Facebook & Reddit)
- Steemit is extremely SEO friendly
- Steemit has the potential to grow & attract more users (it's relatively New)
- It can be compared more to Reddit than Facebook (there doesn't need to be incentives for users to sign up)
- It's decentralized
- You don't need to invest to be part of this network & stand a chance to earn from Comments & Post
At this point, I think those that have a lot at Stake, should use their brains to grow the network because Steem Value isn't going up when we only have 1 Million registered users..
There are already Flags Wars and people are going after Whales.... This is really an experiment but i don't see how it's not going to succeed because it's truly revolutionary idea. Perhaps there are some flaws but I doubt we ever can't get a near perfect platform.
If Steem price was around 0.01-0.05 Cents, we would have many whales with little vote power... The lower the price of Steem the better the chances of someone having a more powerful upvote in the near future. If you're a late joiner and don't want to buy Steem, you don't need to write to please other Users
The abuse of Voting Power is probably the worst thing happening on this platform but those individuals have invested more money into the platform and took a bigger risk initially! Once you have a bigger community that's more aggressive when comes to reward distribution, the #leaveSteemit or #flagWhales motive will rise just like #deleteFacebook
I would want to have more SP so I can upvote some of my Friends Post and those who leave Comments. It's hard to determine what deserves to get upvoted because we all are used to centralized services that make their investors money.
It's definitely a good idea to have Cryptocurrency get distributed and seems like to me that whenever money that has financial value is involved, human nature seems to play an important role.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil
