RE: HELP STEEMIT GROW. My personal suggestion on how to bring more demand for STEEM [JOIN discussion]
First of all I think the idea of involving a community to create and promote steemit is a good idea.
Saying that, I see some problems with your initiative:
The idea of promoting binance in order to buy steem tokesn and butn them is only an artifical way of increasing the steem demand. I understand your thought process but the holy grail should be to generate organic demand for steem by giving the token utility. (at least that is my point of view)
A second thought I had is, that this affiliate programm must be transparent in termas of how much money was earned and how it was spend. I think it is a lot of work to document everything correctly.
In terms of suggestions: I think an organic demand for steemit can be done by attracting more users to the platform. I feel like this could be the only way of getting more "organic" demand for steem.
This is something people like me and you cannot do. Even if we would want it. Lack of funding, lack of programming skills - those are just some obstacles on the way.
We could all simply sit and wait until some utility will be added ... and probably we would sit for very long time :)
My goal is to bring some idea of building "pockets of demand" for steem while using strength of community on Steemit.
Wouldn't attracting more users only create more selling pressure instead? I'm failing to see how more users = more organic demand. Life seem to prove that it's otherwise.
I would risk a statement, that more users is not what we need. On the other hand - we should focus on current userbase and ensure that those who see STEEM as a long term investment will stick around.
Again, thx for sharing your thoughts buddy
