RE: Could STEEMIT, Inc. ever be an Acquisition Target, and will YOU be a millionaire?
It's a very interesting prospect, and I'm glad it's clarified. When we've been marketed as being stakeholders of the company, it's definitely easy to mistake that as being stakeholders of Steemit Inc. I've seen a lot of people preaching that all of us have a say regarding the direction of Steemit, but in reality we don't. I hope this reaches the eyes of many people so that they could adjust their expectations.
Agree the prospect is interesting. To Steemit's defense, I feel the distinction between token owner and shareholder isn't deceptive or hidden (it is there in the FAQs), rather it just may be overlooked. I see the real value in the tokens accessible to all (vs. owning shares of the entity).
Oh yeah, for sure. Not saying Steemit Inc is being deceptive at all, it's just that I've seen people misinterpreting it as us having a stake in the company. A hype machine has been rolled out piggybacking on that assumption. People not in the know would immediately think that they have a hand in the decision-making, but it's truly not the case.
