RE: Steem.Organic? Thanks but no thanks!

@whatsup,

Give me 1 good reason why promotion isn't exclusively achieved in the front end vs using the trending or hot algorithms?

Hint: There is no good reasonother than cha-ching! 💲

They are a vestigial structure of the #oldsteem and I am surprised we are not on the same page there.

Vote selling is something that serves the seller, the buyer and the handful of ppl that have their hand in the cookie jar. It doesn't serve the interest of adoption.

Sort:  

Cha ching... um, give me one good reason why most people or anyone would hold steem if no one was allowed to earn money?

It's always people who pretend to not care about money, who don't want others to earn money.

If I hold Steem Power and I don't want to curate, why shouldn't I have the right to allocate it any way I want to?

When I can't and it is a parade of improverished people fighting over scraps you will not find me here. :) Sorry if that is too real.

There is NOTHING wrong with responsibily earning money, the problem is the lack of clean up and curation.

If I hold Steem Power and I don't want to curate, why shouldn't I have the right to allocate it any way I want to?

Because doing so takes money out of my hand.
Steem is a commons.
Some folks have enough stake to make steem unattractive to everybody else.
That is what they have been doing literally for years, now.
Why you are victim shaming us?

Nobody is worried about @whatsup using her stake as she sees fit, but who is going to buy in to give @ned more?
I contend that the price gives us that answer.
Until ned slakes his greed, we are a shitcoin.
A penny stock.
Maybe we rise from the ashes, maybe the wind blows us away.

For unknown thousands of years investors have been making money by increasing the value of the investment vehicles they purchase. This is called capital gains.

I recommend capital gains as an incentive for investors. I expect that few seasoned investors are very interested in buying Steem and then financially manipulating the rewards pool via curation rewards to become profiteers.

Because that's what that is: profiteering, and it reduces the value of the business and the investement vehicle, in our case Steem. You can see the fruit of that business model from the ninjaminers today. Our marketcap is declining, our token is devaluing, and our users/market is shrinking.

I'm agin' it.

I absolutely agree they don't want to and shouldn't have to curate.... Like any investor there is a cost of doing business, delegate it or hire someone...

You make excellent points, but the ponzi thing is getting us no where.
