RE: Steemit is a pyramid scheme - Climb the pyramid - .08 bounty - 120
Decentralized is only in reference to the physical ownership not it intellectual property contained here in. You still own everything you post here. Back it up.
There's 4 types of people on the platform
People who post low quality / effort content with no real skin in the game - Who are just having fun / playing in the sand.
For profit scammers - Fuck em
For profit players / investors - We Need them
Finally, players who have nothing on the table others than their time and content. - WE NEED THESE PEOPLE - They are the general public - The Joe-Somebody who needs to see potential here_ - Which will lead to more users coming on board - because its super low risk.
Personally, I am someone who falls into the last group. I put forth a great deal of effort - I focus on quality content for the most part - I post genuine unique comments - I engage with other users - Yet aside from my content and engagement - I have not invested any actual funds - outside of the money spent to travel in order to gather content to post.
If you do as I suggested - Backing up the content that you still legally own 100% of the intellectual property rights too - Then so long as you play in the third category you don't stand to loose anything other than the time you spend on the site/ creating content. ~ Yet you can - Theoretically make money - To me that's the safest way to play the game. Because thats what it is. A game. like everything else.
Now in reference to the video - Pretty much every system of generating revenue is a pyramid - As he states - He mentions a rumour about one entity funding both sides of wars - it's not a rumour - I'm pretty sure it's been proven time and time again.
Yeah I think you agree with the point I was making. I think you could make the claim that life is a pyramid scheme so in life and steemit it's good to try and rise to the top and/or help build the pyramid. I thought the point he made in the video was pretty cool. Feel free to upvote yourself if you want some of the prize money.
Oh i totally agree . - More or less - Mostly more -
I see it like this - If you're not pulling scammy bullshit theres no shame in making the best go at a game in progress (War) - Which is what I'm doing. The problem here is the middle two groups - there needs to regulation on both - The first needs to be a eradicated the second needs to be controlled.
Like people above 60 Rep or who have more than 2K Followers - Should not be allowed to put more than $50 into a post.
Maybe don't allow posts that have paid for votes to be on the trending - have them in promoted.
Trending should be organic.
View counter should never have been removed. - Transparency is GOLD
Lol My vote is worth nothing - I upvoted my comment for visibility - But I'm sure it will get buried soon enough by stuff like -
I think we need people like you to start using bots.
I STRONGLY support the view counter. I think you are right to infer that the removal of that was a bit shady. I guess that is a steemit website issue but I guess they may have been forced to do that. I guess the view counter does take bandwidth which we do need.
@speedvoter is pretty cheap. For .01 sbd you could actually make your vote get paid on. My vote would be like .02 if I was at 100%. lol I think I'm at about 10% though.
If you used speedvoter and got to the threshold I would add in my vote which would help you with the prize money.
My previous comment is 30 minutes old so if you upvote that before me and my bot I think you would have a chance at curation awards.
Thats the thing man - I Am using bots - very sparsely - but I am - My margins are small - profits are there - If I invest 10SBD into a post - After curation and the Split of SP - I might make $2 - $4 - Which is still cool - but its not a lot - That is contingent on the price of Steem not dropping before payout - which seems to always happen to me - something where i stand to make 2x my money or better.
Is there a way for bots to change the value / weight of their vote post initial voting? - Would there be a reason to do so? I've noticed my posts that are worth a lot tend to drop more and quickly once Steem starts sliding while posts that aren't worth all that much still drop in value but the drop does not seem proportionate - That could just be my lack of understanding as to the dynamics of the weighted voting system- which I'm still trying to get a better grasp on. - So anyone willing to entertain that last bit - I welcome the knowledge/ Clarification.
You should use a bot on your first comment at least. Do you need the url?
Um yeah. Even if I was voice chatting with you the second part might be hard to answer but it does suck when steem goes down in price because we get less SBD.
Do you already know about the .02 earnings threshold?
What bots are good for comments - is speedvoter the best bet - do I just go to my comment section - then click that one - take the URL and use that in the memo?
Yeah think you touched on the .02 threshold last time we spoke - if you don't mind giving me a brief run down that would be cool - just to jog my memory - is it just that no votes worth less than that actually pay out ?
My bad. lol I just sent .01 to @speedvoter with https://steemit.com/steemit/@emwalker/re-mysearchisover-steemit-is-a-pyramid-scheme-climb-the-pyramid-08-bounty-120-20180508t022329771z
in the url. I think that is the right one. lol
I got confused going off your account.
