RE: My Take On The Recent Events And How I Would Do It
Great addings, Paula - thanks for taking the time!
I fully agree on your last point: converting communities into departments. That's actually what I wanted to express when talking about "delegating tasks into the community", but your version of the idea is much better.
My question is: why would anyone invest into Steem right now? Why would we blame developers for relying on a delegation if that is actually the only way to compensate their efforts? Not everybody who has started to build something on Steem has thousands of dollars in their bank accounts - but all these visinoaries still have one thing in common:
They want to build on Steem.
IMO an idea and its funding don't need to necessarily come from the same source. As you said: there is a masssive skill set - and what we need to do is bundle forces. And then find people who're willing to invest in that massive source of value.
If a developers build a app NOT on steem, what must they do? Self fund some how right?
Why would anyone invest in steem, easy, we have seen the potiental. Pitching an app does not mean the app investor needs to buy steem, however funding could be saught by apps so they can power their app with steem them selfs. Devs need funding, i dont see why steemit inc should be dragons den. They are not investors, the are developers. If they believe in their development and their ability to run it as a business, they should not fear seeking funding. And we have seen good funding happen here on steem without steemit inc, such as UA and parkito.
