RE: What Is Basic Attention Token?
What do you mean @techslut? Are you sure you thought that comment through?
I take care of these accounts and I make it clear that they are unofficial accounts. I also make sure that no one tampers with them or spams them or that the competitors get a hand on them. I repost their original content to help them get reach. Once they realize the potential of Steemit I hand the account over to them. As you can see there is no money invested in this account, so it's basically a charity project to Steemit and to the crypto projects themselves.
When the crypto projects want to join Steemit, I GIVE the accounts to them for free.
How is that cheating? If something, I am attracting crypto projects to use Steemit, which benefits us all. The crypto projects them selves are happy about it anyway.
