RE: My HF21 after thoughts and impressions of new steem trending page
That is for investing yes, but is not about investing into STEEM. What I'm hoping for is that people who find Steem consider buying into the infrastructure and, I am hoping that the content on Steem can encourage those who are already here to power up into it too.
people won't buy into the infrastructure because there are no users. we won't get new users if we keep putting out this shit. Most often we agree, I think this will be our first :-)
If the interfaces / applications become the onboarding points, then this isn't an issue.
As long as stake weighting is the primary source of ROI via extraction of rewards, we won't have investors in Steem, because profiteering decreases capital gains.
We need to enable investors to get ROI from capital gains in order to get investors. Since almost all the rewards are sniped via stake weighting instead of encouraging the marketing department - content creators - capital gains are as discouraged as the creators.
Experienced investors have a skillset, and it isn't self voting or delegating to bid bots. It's building value into businesses in order to increase the value of the underlying investment vehicle. Steem does not present much opportunity for investors to do that, because whales put that value in their wallets instead.
Penny wise, pound foolish.
Thanks!
