RE: Thoughts on a week with voting power.

I have a longer post marinating about how the blogging platform makes the investment more attractive than other active crypto investments, and the investment platform makes the blogging more attractive than other social media.

Sort:  

I'd like to see that post myself. There appears to be a disconnect for some reason (not sure why), between the investor and those here to use the platform. The utility of the STEEM ecosystem most definitely provides a value that other cryptos don't currently possess, and even with those that might be surfacing this year or soon thereafter, STEEM is older and proving itself to be resilient. If any of the promised updates or improvements hit before the end of the year, and actually deliver those improvements, STEEM will be even more attractive. Those of us blogging and commenting just need to keep on doing it, and those who are investing need to recognize the value of a social platform connected to a crypto blockchain.

I've found that every crypto investment opportunity is full of people who have a ton of money and no self-awareness, and people without very much money and the expectation of unreasonably high returns. For all that that's on the minds of so much of Steemit, I think that's considerably less true here than anywhere else I've been. It's just that we have a built-in platform for talking about it incessantly.

Probably because we do talk about it incessantly, it's less true. And or we convert it into why are the whales doing this or not doing that, or minnows/redfish/newbies can't make any money on Steemit. It seems we still find ways to be oblivious or complain. :)

haha, yeah i fully agree. For me this all fits in nicely with the econommic/social transiotional period we are in. Very exciting times.
