RE: Would Steemit grow if every user would get 100$ per month for free?
It would be the equivalent of printing paper money. Steem has only the value of the platform which is behind it. Distributing 100$ worth of steem per user could only be done by augmenting the amount of steem. Thereby effectively diluting the value of a single steem-token.
It would succeed in equalizing the steem holdings across many users, and it might not hurt the value of the total amount of steem available, but the value of 1 individual steem token would plumet.
I need you on this one: https://steemit.com/steemit/@shla-rafia/i-will-explain-you-why-steemit-hasn-t-been-adopted-by-millions-yet
Text inside: Steemit needs many users. After 1 year only 300.000 is nothing. I can walk around with 1000 flyers and when only 300 of us do it then we would reach this number. If the product would be good we would already have millions of users.
Enthusiasm is created when someone comes with a new idea which is groundbreaking. Now look at the growth. This is nothing. The product Steemit is so unpopular because it doesn't offer what the world needs. It actually is the opposite. The Solution:
Every account gets 100$ a month for free. Not to get new users like with the current marketing (giving money to people who already have enough) but by solving the real issue of suffering: Poverty, hunger, disease.
What is worse: If you can but you don't. People see this, people feel this. Steemit is creating anti-marketing every day. Let's change this and give people - everyone - 100$ per month for free as long as they sign in once a week.
Don't be a whalehole. Accept that you were wrong and let's do some good.
