RE: Homesteading Reality: Your Beautiful Land May Be Filled With Trash.
I actually wanted to write more about the connection to poverty and trash, but figured it was getting too long for the average Steemian's attention span! :) Maybe I'll make another post about the connection.
Please do, my father is a hoarder and i think that poverty played a pivitol roll in creating that environment i grew up in. My trailer and property were a landfill in their own rights. We had tonnes of stuff but nothing of value. We had no money, but he always managed to bring more garbage home. I feel like the more secluded we are, the more stuff we need. When poverty comes into play, the things like diet, lifestyle and ability to acquire and use knowledge are all substantially limited and that scares me. Because poverty is getting harder and harder to overcome. I work my butt off and still havent even scratched the surface of my potential due to the fact 80% of my mind goes towards chasing pavement. Also steemit is for intellectuals, if the average users arent intellectuals then you should be writirng for the unusuals :)
:) I'd challenge the statement that steemit is for intellectuals... LOL. In fact, I was actually just sitting here thinking that although I get a few thoughtful comments and interaction that I think most folks just vote and move on. I'll definitely write (had to go back and fix my spelling on the last post) more in the future about it. Thanks for the comments!
Yea but honestly when the platform start having too many real good bloggers then content like this will be looked up to. Full blogs with real thought. I dont see dmania and other quick blog apps surviving long term. There will be too much competition from real bloggers for those likes and resteems. Bandwidth also plays a huge roll. It will change and we will get smt to help guide our platform in the right direction. I truly believe @ned and the team have a vision for that to be the case. Otherwise steemit will die and engulf itself.
SMT - had to go look it up. Smart Media Tokens. Can you give me your synopsis on how you think that will help guys like me and you? @mikehamm may want to check this out too.
Well from what i’ve discerned its going to help steemit evolve from simply its main page it will allow for icos to be hedged with tokens and open up a fiat gateway to steemit so that global adoption is possible. No more waiting 2 weeks for an account. Algorithms will be in play so that kyc can happen to fast track account creation and incentivize real bloggers to actually participate here. It will take away the benefit of being a lazy money grabber. Leadig to a flourishing community of intelligence and learning. Community. Here is an excellent breakdown i read from a couple months ago! Super well put together. Explains the benefits. https://steemit.com/smt/@slavix/hidden-gems-of-the-smart-media-tokens-white-paper
Hey, I'm just the new guy, but unless there is something to level the playing field (and I'm no socialist just so you understand although that statement sounds like it) it seems to be that SMT will just create fiefdoms... where people will "work" for the whales. I've got some thoughts on fixing some of the abuse (as I understand them) issues... and focusing votes on the quality of content . But I'm the newbie, so take it for what it is...
Im also just a newby too. Trust me. I believe in democracy and the power of people it just needs to stop being so centralized and we need to stop playing the telephone game with our governers. Have you watched the movie the circle ⭕️ thats how i see steemit.
I've seen the movie and then read the book. I wasn't satisfied with the ending of either one so maybe I'm just a malcontent. BTW, the book is a LOT racier than the movie. Yikes. LOL.
