RE: STEEM Has Real Value - STEEM is the Most Valuable Cryptocurrency, People Just Don't Know it Yet

Nicely put. I and many others have argued that it is naive to expect Steemit to solve the inequalities of the modern world overnight whilst simultaneously trying to create a whole new economy around it.

The idea is patently ridiculous. Inequality has always existed and probably always will. All we can do is keep trying to make things better.

Although I don't always agree with what the team is doing I do think they are trying to improve things in this regard.

Perhaps in some cases they are making changes too quickly - for example the failed 12 hour payout schedule.

The key to success in any field is persistence, time and hard work. This triad does not guarantee success but it makes it a whole lot more likely than if you sit around hoping to just get lucky.

The problem is some people will complain no matter what the situation is. If the distribution of SP was more even I'm sure they would complain that payouts were too low, or too many people were voting reducing the rewards.

The fact is it will take time for things to improve via gradual iteration, trying new things and new ideas. Sometimes it will make things better, sometimes it will make things worse.

Nothing is guaranteed and sitting around complaining instead of trying to help move things forward achieves nothing except boring everyone.

That is one way to guarantee you don't earn anything.

Indeed, well put. Trial and error is part of life. Move forward, move back, and correct things when it goes wrong. That's life and learning. Thanks for the feedback. Take care. Peace.
