RE: CONTEST! | Operation Mass Adoption | 12,000 Steem in Prizes
Nothing in life is free. "Free" social media means you are the product. Steem isn't steemit. Steem is decentralized. It's got backups upon backups and is freedom software. Freedom software enables you to talk freely like you are doing now. Free as in the cost social media will only last so long. Blockchains like steem can last for Decades when the users care. (bitcoin is 10 years old) And we will continue hosting the chain and IPFS content for decades because it's the best place to put my data. I feel secure having my data with Steem. You don't need to buy any Steem and many users never bought a single cent. So that reality you call it, you have to pay money for steem use is false. Accounts are made for free all the time and SP is given from friend to friend. :)
Good... How is it different for me if there is a single server. If there are multiple servers controlled by a single company and if there are witnesses. From the perspective of my experience - it's the same.
Value of crypto is correlated with the number of users. This formula was proven every time. That means - you are a product
True... But you don't want it to last, because every love is fading away. You need some influx.
