RE: Change Your Life With Blockchain / New Bitcoin Milestone in 2018 / The Time to Buy Steem
And currently their are also al lot of disbelievers, who think Steemit is going to fail. Because this platform is allegedly a pyramid. Which is a statement I strongly disagree with.
I think their is a great potential for Steem in the future. We already have multiple interfaces to the block-chain. So when Steemit.com is under attack from a DDoS attack, we usually can still read and write posts on busy.org.
Of course their isn't a garenthee that steemit on-day become's a mainstream platform. But that's a risk you need to take. In the mean time we are all writing good stuff and making steem succeed.
Nowadays everyone is talking about how profitable it would have been to buy stock of Apple and Microsoft in the 90'. But when they got the change to get into a new tech in the current-day. Then they are suddenly hesitant to take the risk.
Exactly! It really is a risk that one has to take. Or, rather, it's a risk that one has to decide whether or not it'll be worth it to take. For me, I've decided that it's definitely worth the risk and I don't mind taking that risk on something that I truly and fully believe in. If it does fail someday, at least I did something I loved and shared my passions with the world and improved myself as a writer. So it'll still be a huge win in my book.
As for the pyramid thing, I find it funny that people are saying that. If this were an actual pyramid then how come I don't have a referral code to give to people as invitations to Steemit, how come I am not making any money off of bringing my friends over to Steemit? :P I can kind of see where people are coming from with their fear and misguided notion that this is a pyramid, because a lot of MLM companies use similar tactics of spreading the word about their products. Not to say that all MLM is pyramids, of course. But I hope you know what I meant by that because I don't know if I know how to explain where I was coming from with that :P
In the end, life is all about taking risks in order to open yourself up to the chance of success. And this is a risk that I am all too ready and willing to take.
