RE: On The Verge Of A Blockchain Revolution?
Steem isn't the asset here; followers are the asset.
Hoard them, guard them, caress and cherish and celebrate each new one.
They're the people who are going to put your posts on the trending page when steemit is adding a million new users a day.
Well there was a time when I would have agreed with you but in a lot of ways the correlation with the followers hasn't really improved the earnings for me. It really came down to a few people with decent power but at these price levels my auto votes only get me to $2 even with 2298 followers. It seems to be more about catching someone's eye with some power and if you are lucky enough to get resteemed by someone with some influence and potentially hit the hot or trending page it can build up. Otherwise a post can go dead real quick.
This one is controversial in a way so a lot of people won't want to associate with something others could consider "negative" to the platform.
Beta: = Give us feedback.
You're not whinging, it's constructive criticism.
I just know that when we hit the juicy bit of that 'S' curve, a whole lot of people who've been phoning it in, waiting for a big price jump, are going to wish they'd done more to establish themselves while the competition for eyeballs was still minimal.
I actually wrote about this a year ago.
I hear what you are saying. Things are pretty unpredictable of when everything is going to happen but I almost feel like a whole new set of people coming to crypto have to be educated on STEEM. Like each time it gets better and a new set of people come and see the "new" version of what is going on.
The SMT stuff is compelling and it will be interesting when that could be approved by the witnesses and how soon working implementations of it could be running.
