RE: What Is The Best Byproduct Of Securing A Blockchain? Let's Talk About It
The Bear market without question helped correct the distribution. It has allowed a ton of great content producers to increase their holdings while vote selling whales that had no interest in anything other then their own greed sold off. Total Win-Win.
Agree that it can't ever be perfect, but it could have been better. If I start a blockchain of my own this will be a case study I use for sure.
There has to be enough of a reason to attract early adaptors, but not so much as to hinder the future of the coin.
IMO Steem has a ton of potential and I've sold multiple other coins at huge losses to increase my personal holdings. When I came into this market I dabbled in way to many coins and wish I had only bought steem and a few others which I knew were solid. Each of my "gambles" were what I suspected and total shit coins making promises that they had no intention of keeping. Lesson learned on those.
I agree that the distribution could have been better, but Steem lucked out by building this fantastic community that I believe can overcome the initial distribution woes.
The community can overcome a lot of shortfalls as has been shown. Without the community of committed steemians this would have fall apart long ago.
The value of the steem blockchain is only so much, in Steems case the reason I feel it's undervalued is the community that is behind the project.
