I seen curie upvoting minnows .. . But still thats only two whales out of how many ? Hopefully the next wave of whales ( which hopefully will be us ) are more upvote friendly to minnows.

37 whales.
Unless we go back down to a dime it is unlikely that there will be more whales, it would cost tens of millions usd, and the roi raping the pool wont justify it.
Nah, you are fishing for orcas and dolphins now.
Unless you can get into a discord group with a large delegation its the doldrums for you!
I know that sucks, but just keep plugging away and hope for a change in the code.
The pennies you earn now, could be dollars in the future.
Smt's could change the outlook, if they arent just another a lie to draw in bigger fools.

I am more thinking along the lines of the Steemit platform exploding and the price jumping to a crazy high in the upcoming years .. making some of todays users dwarf whales in the process.

Yeah, i dont see it even holding 20usd as a blogging platform.
If smts make steem worth having, maybe it goes higher, but as influence on a blogging site dont kid yourself how much that is worth.
If you aint buying because its a bargain, rich people aint, either.

I see lots of potential for over $ 20 USD but Steemit has a way to go. This place is so much more then just a blogging site. I think it can be the next big social media site but alot needs to be changed.

  • The wallet needs to be simplified
  • We don't need two currencies
  • Signing up needs to be instant

Just to name a few.

Sbd is a debt instrument designed to sell for one dollar.
Right now there arent enough of them to maintain the peg.

Sign ups are addressed in the next hardfork if stinc hasnt lied to us, again.
Theres a problem, our devs like to lie.

What is wrong with the wallet?

I understand what SBD is ... its not needed. I know that sign ups are supposed to be addressed in the next hardfork. That doesn't mean they will be instant. I guess we will have to wait and see.

The wallet function needs to be simplified. SBD / Steem / Steem Power / USD value being shown, its too much.

Payouts on our post are paid to us in three different currencies and total value shown in USD. Thats four currencies we are dealing with. Remove SBD and payout post in 100 % Steem or Steem Power. This removes some of the values shown on posts and in our wallet and makes things less overwhelming for new users to the site and crypto in general.

One of the most common comments I get from new users is that they don't understand how the wallet works and its mostly due because there are too many currencies being used.

One currency with the USD value shown is plenty.

Or, the newbs could take a few weeks, read the faq/whitepaper and learn something rather than gut key functionality on the platform?
Or would that be asking to much?
Must we all function as morons because the newbs refuse to be bothered to learn?
