RE: Just Another Peaceful Warm Summer Evening, While the Storm Rages
What mostly interests me is some kind of assurance that there will still BE a Steemit here, next month, next year, five years from now. And I want to have some kind of assurance that someone is actually STEERING the good ship S.S. Steemit.
Hardfork 20 doesn't give us anything in this direction does it. It all seems to be for the developers and the blockchain in general to east the entrance of SMTs.
It still looks to me like Steemit was and is a test case and, as such, has a very low priority now.
I'm trying to find something to be excited about... the only thing I see as a positive is that the various apps (dtube, steepshot, etc) can now onboard their own new members without having to wait for the STINC approval process... which has historically been slow enough that a lot of accounts never get used, because people forget about them.
Other than that, I'm not sure what's going to happen.
And that one thing is a double edged sword I think @denmarkguy because it will make it much easier for spammers.
Although, that's one of the benefits of the low Steem price I think. There seem to be be far fewer spammers around. 😁
I guess time will tell. As I understood it, it will be easier for people to form accounts, but under the new system the initial delegations will be smaller/none, and since smaller "fractional" votes will be "nothing" from low SP accounts, there would be no MONEY in it for spammers, UNLESS they were willing to toss quite a few of their own $$$ at buying some SP for their spam accounts.
But I guess time will tell.
