RE: Some Possibly Sacrilegious Thoughts About "Investors" and Steemit
I might effectively be committing "Steemicide" in a public forum here
Of course, it's entirely possible I am just talking out my arse!
Highly eloquent and, above all, coherent words talked out of 'lucid arses', will never achieve to penetrate those ears plugged with purulent earwax filled profusely with huge balls of FOMO on those "investors" with deep pockets but immature dead brains under the effect voodoo of an easy and quick ROI.
They'll only manage to perceive the exclusive hallucination of their own greed. Trying to milk without respite until they exhaust till the last drop of as many tits as the insatiable rapacity of their voracious claws manage to nail their nails upon to empty them pumping from up and down as soon as possible.
So, why bother explaining things rationally to these hasty and incurable im-patients? }:)
Thanks!
I suppose part of the "problem" we have here isn't just Steemit/Steem-related, it is also crypto-related.
For the longest time, people did "invest" in cryptos and there were just a handful to choose from and you bought them because you believed in the long term potential of blockchain technology.
Then — sometime in 2017 — everything went haywire, and we suddenly got this whole new paradigm that "investing" in cryptos was this FOMO day-trading speculation where people flocked around from one "flavor of the day" to another... and labelled themselves investors in the process.
Now those "chickens" have come back to Steemit to roost and everyone is so damn concerned about how to double their money next week that they have completely grown blind to the actual nature of investing... which tends to have a pretty long-term horizon.
I DO see the potential long term potential of Steem, so I will probably continue pissing into the wind until I just can't bring myself to do it, anymore!
