RE: Vote Buying Will Destroy Steemit If We Let It.

in #vote7 years ago

Well thats what im seeing, 1 out of every ten trending is worthless. We have lots of excellent bloggers on here getting completely ignored why 2 min read posts about daily market trends make hundreds from vote bots. Your concern is not just yours. Steemit needs to grow and i hope @ned is right and that smart media tokens should help even the playing field over time.. otherwise your concerns become problems and problems make global adoption impossible.

Sort:  

but, who will buy those tokens, when they're only sold for steem? The same ones who are driving the current trends on the platform today.

Well until fiat is no longer a thing we need to create more fiat gateways and I guess inflate until its to expensive to stop the progress. Who knows, everything feels very 50/50 these days. Too many crooks too few dreamers.

IDK if I'd call them crooks. it's all within the rules. Hard to know if they'd try to do it the same if it weren't. Some would, some wouldn't.

Wanna see crooks though mark this is the kind of stuff that can happen.
https://steemit.com/scam/@dizzyjay/scam-alert-do-not-send-them-sbd That is criminal, that is yesterday. We have to self police a little here. But you are mostly right with where you stand on it its these rare cases that get me going

Well, I think as we move toward a totalitarian collapse of world govts, this kind of stuff is going to need to be handled by the citizenry, in the digital and real worlds, they're going to be too busy trying to enforce compliance, until they finally implode under their own weight.

But, part of me says, if you're gaming the system, you get what you deserve from guys like this too. LOL

True! I agree, as you said the system will collapse and thats why we need to focus so hard on creating distributed ledgers so when these centralized organizations collapse we dont have another 2008 financial crisis. Thats what satoshi nakamoto gave us. Not just bitcoin, but an open-source ledger system that makes the world able to keep the value when worlds collide, there is no race, religion or country to it. Its just an observer, and a protector. Based on mathematics and not politics. Leaving the policing to us as a society. Cool right? Actual liberty.

Yep, but all they see is another investment product.
