RE: STEEM Is Cryptocurrency 2.0: Here Is Why It Is A Huge Winner Long-Term
This was an incredibly insightful post and puts a perspective on the next wave of cryptos that I had never considered.
Suddenly I can see it. All kinds of activities, including work and leisure will be rewarded with coins or tokens.
If you build houses, you might get "Brick" tokens as part of your reward. Go shopping and you might earn Green Shield Stamps, which are valuable to exchange for other goods in the same store. Go to a casino, and they may give you some free tokens to play with while you get hooked.
The possibilities are endless.
As you pointed out, steem is well ahead of the game.
I wrote a blog this morning referring to steem's value as a "vanity" asset. Steem is to bloggers what lipstick is to ladies. It gets you looked at. You get attention. People follow you for it.
I also agree we can not imagine how things will evolve.
When I got my first email address in the early 1990's, people laughed at me. The only person I could send an email to was myself. There was no point in finding anyone else. They didn't know what I was talking about.
I ended up finding an advertising site which would send you a daily email with advertisements. It was the only way to know my email address was working. Today I'd have hundreds of ways to test it. Back then it was the only way.
Resteemed.
Thank you for your comment @swissclive.
The tokenized world will see us having 20-40 income streams. What to motivate people to exercise, there will be a token. Eat healthier? Token Spend time with the elderly? A token.
Here a token, there a token, everywhere a token....perhaps my next post needs to be able the tokenized world and what that will look like.
With tech, people seem to think what they see before them is what is going to happen. Few understand the exponential aspects of technology and its growth. It is a compounding world. There are so many factors which go into this explosion that people are caught off guard.
Even with tokens, it is so early in the game. There are, what, maybe 20M or 30M worldwide with tokens. Just presuming it is 50M, this planet has 7B people on it. The idea of a DAO really blows people's mind. How do you have a company that has no management, requires no workers, and handles all decisions on its own? For those who think AI is the Terminator, I guess it is outrageous. However, for those who understand decision trees and how AI is now being created to follow that, it makes a lot of sense. Most decisions are nothing more than glorified it-then statements.
LOL at the emailing yourself. Feels that way with tokens.
No worries though, I am sure you get enough email now to make up for it in the early days.
If cryptos follow the path of email, i guess we'll all have so many tokens - that we didnt even asking for - showing up in our wallets, and everyone will hate crypto but reluctantly admit that there's nothing better ;-P
So crazy to hear the bits and pieces of possibility! I think that sense of possibility is one of the key things that got me more deeply interested and connected to the platform/cryptocurrencies in general. It's really, really exciting.
I always learn something new from taskmaster.
It’s amazing how far everything has come since our crappy 28k modem
Dial up back in 1996.
I’m wondering how many people will use tokens like these as their main source of income within the next decade!
Wouldn't those tokens just end up being another "bonus on your bonus-card"?
