RE: How to think about Steemit.com and navigate it...Lessons from "New rules for the new economy by Kevin Kelly"
Yeah, I am in complete agreement about the next wave of decentralization sweeping away the centralized control structures....it is awesome:
As power flows away from the center, the competitive advantage belongs to those who learn how to embrace decentralized points of control.
Despite spectacular failure of some centralised systems most people are not aware yet there is a choice. The big centralised unicorns look safe and dependable.
But in reality the lifecycle of major corporations is ever shortening.
Look at Yahoo, save for some smart investments in Alibaba, they have become almost irrelevant.
The behaviour of Youtube, Twitter and Facebook lately suggests to me that they too can soon become irrelevant...
Although they might started as decentralised networks their behaviour starts to look like they are trying to centralise and consolidate power over the behaviour of their users. It think that will piss a lot of users off and they will start looking around for other options...
