RE: Vlog 368: How will new users get RC's when the price of STEEM goes up?
Glad to see you started to do more vlogs about Steem again!
You've thought of a very interesting correlation between the price of STEEM and RC availability to newcomers. Yes, completely agree as price goes up, nobody will pay large amounts of money for basic functionality, so an "equilibrium" needs to be found in this area too.
Costs incurred by cheaper operations on the blockchain in terms of RCs would probably be balanced by the raise in the price of STEEM.
One small concern for lowering costs of operations in RCs as price goes up is: would spam re-become an issue or would that be handled via different means, like Hivemind/Communities?
Spam was mostly caused by the ones not invested. I'm assuming that when ppl invest they will want to be part of the blockchain and help it grow. But I could be naive. I need to think about it more.
