RE: The Silver Lining - Ned and Bloomberg
As someone who appreciates honesty I welcome your comment to this conversation. That being said, explaining Steem to those who are not part of it is no small task... On the energy aspect, the sales pitch enthusiasm you are supposed to convey, maybe he could have done better.. I've certainly seen him do better, but again... Not easy to do and so little time to do so...
Not easy. But being the head of Steemit it is his job. It was a blown opportunity. Maybe when you have seen him talking before it was to people who had an inkling what Steemit already was. The lady interviewing him was clueless and that may have thrown him. She was also to blame and should have done a little research. The whole thing was not great.
I think it's fine. Hyping the platform in its current form and at its current price could have been disastrous, the last thing we need is the CEO getting noobs to buy in at too high of a price and watch them instantly be forever turned off as the prices slid. I'm probably the last person to defend him, but from a logical standpoint I can see why unrealistic enthusiasm was disfavored over measured, restrained explanations of the topics. Although the explanation of how posts paid out could have been way more digestible for the television audience than "it comes from a magical digital treasury".
