RE: 2+ Years Later. Almost 6000 Posts And A Reputation Score Of 68... | What Are We Doing Here?
You never know, one day @ned may re-take an interest in steemit. Right now it seems it is just not that important to him. With steemfest 3 coming up soon, maybe we will start to see some action on his part and on the part of other investors and whales. It is migratory season for the whales, the other day at the beach here in Alaska my wife and I got to see one heading north in the inlet, breaching and blowing as he was going.
Not to be that guy, but most (many) people who've been getting support and free delegations seems to have been the Steemfest participants. Which is insane if you ask me.
It's about time people started to spread the wealth instead of feeding themselves and their closest friends and family members with everything.
Crypto reminds me of George Orwell's animal farm. The devs and early adaptors go on about decentralisation but when their coins grow , they cash in and become the central banks and governments that we are trying to free ourselves from in the first place. The crypto is exchanged for FIAT and they buy a lambo. My question is can you check to see the amount that is being powered down by the big boys so they have cashed in?
Check out @penguinpablo for the recent stuff.
It's hard to see what's happened from the start, they had a good thing going on and made it tricky to audit fully.
Plus, if you delve too far into it you start getting discord messages from black hats telling you to leave it...
whoa that rings a bell. If I read on twitter especially the crypto folks, they spew the decentralization but they won't forget to purchase the lambo or a luxury getaway.
Everyone is in it for the money bar a certain few like Satoshi. Any crypto that has a face to the coin is not decentralised.
I have no idea, but I guess @abh12345 could potentially do something like that.
Sadly, this behaviour is indicative of the wider world at large. Many of the rich and powerful gravitate toward each other and do little more than feather their own nests. Whether it be politicians or big business, many like to lurk in the shadows, rather than utilise their power and wealth for the greater good. Steemit is no exception.
Having said that, there are a lot of members here that do great things for others (I don't want to start mentioning names as I know I'll forget someone). We just need to remember to do what we can for others when we can, and hope that community spirit wins out in the long run.
Indeed. Just wonder how long we have to wait...
The coin is being distributed for another 17 years, hodl?
All my delegations are from folks I didn't meet, and didn't go, to the last festival. I'm a lucky case, and take your point.
