I'm not a vulkan, I just don't tolerate hero worship, at all. Especially from anyone who wants to say I am some kind of hero also.
As for the fate of steem, I don't think I am at all wrong in saying they gotta pull their fingers out or there's gonna be big problems. The database issue is not going to go away, it has to be dealt with. Same as the game mechanics, because it's going to drive people away.
I'm sorry, but I'm simply not a people person. I don't do sweet words or the certainty of the uneducated and uninformed. If I am a leader, it is of a herd of cats, not a herd of sheep. Irony is intended.
You are right, maybe Stinc is just stupid. But stupidity is always a great cloak for malice. Either way, they gotta pull their fingers out.
You haven't obviously thought about the implications of designing an elaborate game that eventually adds up to Ponzi. There is many intricate ways of dodging this label, legally, like, Amway, for example.
It may well be that it doesn't fully qualify as a scam, but it sure looks like one, and that's gonna be enough for the suspicious and wary people like myself who have a personal vendetta against all scammers.
As for being more diplomatic or dumbing it down. I'll leave that to the dumber down below. I'm not going to use my wits to deceive people and if they don't understand and hate me for speaking a language they can't understand, they should go live in a foreign country for a while and see how much it is upon them to learn rather than criticise those who speak in a foreign language. If the expressions are properly formed, then any criticism shows ignorance and prejudice on the part of the critic bitching they are feeling stupid for not understanding.
That's not my problem, and I'm not wearing that bullshit anymore in my life. If you get what I'm saying, good, but I didn't ask you to follow me, in fact, if you didn't notice, I tried to dare you to prove me wrong.
Let's conclude that all of the steeminc, everyone of the whales, sells out, and the price of steem drops to essentially zero to one satoshi, you would call that a ponzi scheme?
Correctly, it can either be a scam or it is either not a scam. It can become a scam or it doesn't become a scam. There isn't any in between, a scam exists or a scam doesn't exist.
Just doesn't fully qualify as a scam..
But unfounded suspicion and paranoia aren't that different.
It's not deceiving, it's being diplomatic, but more or less simply extending your respect and understanding to others, after all I am sure you both have the same goals in mind for the project and share similar values, and calling them dumb or inferior through your wits isn't a shared respect.
