RE: Fortitude and forfeit

in #thoughts6 years ago

let me pick your brains, sir...(there's some steem in it, for you , if I'm successful in this project..)
Time is kinda tight - So no pressure.. lol

I don't actually think this will cause you too much headache.

If you were to list the top 5 things that steem, the blochchain (not stemeeit) brought to people, what would they be?

Dapps spring to mind..

....basically all the stuff you're clear about in your head, of which I'm totally fuzzy about..

Cheers for any help.

Sort:  

Dapps cover a whole range of things as the steem system can flex in many ways.

I would add revenue streams and payment gateways in developing countries, the ability to earn anonymously, censorship and immutability resistance, ability to earn on skills no matter colour or creed, abiltity to earn whle developing skills, a comparatively soft learning curve into crypto/ new economy/ economic understanding/ technology.

There are many, just on my way to work though.

👍, ok gives me something to work with.. cheers

ability to earn on skills no matter colour or creed....

that one's up for severe dispute! lolol

Anonymity is possible here and in my opinion, a higher percentage of people are less caring about colour or background anyway.

ability to earn on skills no matter colour or creed....

Color, I would agree with you... but creed...???
Noun 1.
creed - any system of principles or beliefs

It can be very hard , no let's say impossible - to earn on here, if you try express your principles or beliefs and someone 'bigger' than you, disagrees with your point of view.

Depends how you express them, just like anywhere.

So you have to express your words in accordance with another's approval, to earn here?

So you agree then.
I knew it would happen one day! lol
I'm glad we cleared that up.

Living by another persons leave , just for money, is so....so...._ small_ though, isn't it?....
..... ewwwwww....

Not at all. You can also have stake. This is a POS system that allows buy-in for anyone. There are numerous ways to earn without posting.

We are talking about expressing your words, not stake. And not buy in.

You can be stopped from earning rewards by expressing your words, if you displease others that have a large stake.
....ergo, you are living by someone else's leave.

Which part confuses you?
Seems very clear to me.

This being the case, it is 'power' and not merit that is the driver of the platform.

And that's a crap model for the talented - but an excellent for the power centric, and talent less.

And it's even more crap as a business model, to attract investors.

Oh, I would also add the ability to give directly to people. Over the last two years I have probably given between 1-2 thousand Steem/ SBD to various people that have helped them out in a number of ways. Without Steem, I wouldn't know them let alone have the ability to send it to them without banks getting involved.
