@skeptic seems not to understand what the blockchain really means. Someday he will, but until then don’t waste too much time trying to tell him. I prefer to show it. For instance, if you go to beyondbitcoin.io you will see we are starting to get to the point where the site will read from steem and take upvotes directly from the site. However, if someone wanted to they could code their own additions to make it so it ONLY covers flagged content!
These are the kinds of things that can be done with steem-based sites and if people like it, they might even make it so the amount of power flagged against you makes your post rate Higher!
The possibilities are pretty stunning actually. But development has cost this fuzzy guy, @faddat and @baabeetaa a lot of upvoted sbd…because we honestly care about this chain growing up strong. If you are pissed that people don’t believe in it, consider helping beyondbitcoin ;)
