RE: Writcoin Dapp - Creative Blockchain Solutions
With every project I read about I'm more and more eager for the launch of SMTs, the whole ecosystem will become unrecognizable. And even though the emphasis will be on entrepreneurs I want to see writing and blogging become more successful on this platform.
Yeah I agree with a lot of what your saying @calatorulmiop
I honestly think that the SMT mechanism can be used to bring about a fairer reward structure. I'm sure that many different community SMT's will pop up around genres/tags of writing/vlogging/blogging etc that will start to reward quality proportionally. This is the only fair and sustainable model in my opinion. I am simply focusing on creative writing because it is what I know and produce (sometimes 😉) to a professional level.
I think you hit on a key point here and I would argue that their is possibly a too rigid focus on entrepreneurs in a business sense from some people/communities on steemit. My reasoning is simple; how much value would say an article about creatives earning on steemit in the New York Times review or The Guardian newspaper be worth? Or many such articles across a variety of mainstream print/online media. I see hundreds of articles being produced on steemit at the moment parroting the message 'bring investment to steemit', and I don't disagree, but there is space on this platform for long term perspective and value outside of money coming in, especially in regards to marketing. As the boundaries between traditional publishing and online (self) publishing blur, there is a potential for bringing hundreds of millions of readers to steemit. With HF20 changes they will all have to make a small investment to be part of steemit, or get free accounts from community initiatives. This is all hypothetical of course, but I believe that there should be a community that keeps the great creative writers producing on steemit for these and many other reasons.
Thanks for your thought provoking comment, as you can probably tell, I'm very passionate about this idea🙂
It's normal to be passionate about revolutionizing publishing and content creation :) the possibility to bring meaningful change and better our lives is a powerful driving force. I hope you can keep your passion going until the project's fruition.
