RE: How The Introduction Of Resource Credits In HF 20 May Increase STEEM Price
You certainly raise an interesting point. I've never been one to accept 'fairness' as a self-contained argument; for many reasons.
If I understand correctly, we're potentially looking at a future where buying a stake, say $100 each, is the only way to participate in the chain, the trade-off being that participating in the chain is generally more worthwhile.
We may even end up with a bit of an 'old boy's club' where anyone who can't stump up the dough needs to have a friend with spare credits to delegate.
Interesting times.
I'm thinking of looking into the intro tag a bit more often, or putting out some posts for the little guys to stick their name in the pot for a small delegation.
I'm all for stopping the trash interacting, but we can't be losing keen real folk from getting involved.
yeah, that was exactly my point. Technically, the Steem blockchain can be copied in a few minutes, it's all open source (and it's good that it is like that). So the only real business advantage is turniing the early adopters into the founding fathers that may or may not allow other "citizens" into their "country".
So we are giving copycats a high hand?
If they copy it now and disable the RC, they'll be free and we'll be freemium :thinking:
hahaha :)
After the initial shock and disappointment faded following this fork, I started enjoying how relaxed things are right now with reduced activity. After all, most scammers/spammers usually have small amounts of SP and any amount they make they power down.
I've thought for a long time that "parasite accounts" on Steemit do little to propel us to a better future except contribute to blockchain bloat, fill all comment threads up with spam making them harder to read, and generally expect handouts which they promptly change to fiat.
"Freemium" is a good model. When people don't pay anything for something, they appreciate it much less.
Unfortunately guys like me with quality posts, but relatively little SP are being left out.
Better than being drowned out.
Also gives us pause to consider each response.
What we acquire too cheaply we esteem too lightly.

Thanks for using POCKET! I am running this confirmer code.
I really believe this update will lead to a better long term future - I get why this is being done and understand there will be some unhappy people for a bit.
However in terms of RC and the ability for people to comment, it's currently too aggressive. Sure it will stop bots and spammers etc, but if Minnows can't get in and participate...they won't!
For the love of god, to any witnesses or people in charge tweak this update so people can make more then a few comments in 24 hours...I see the point and think it's great but it's just too aggressive - It needs to allow at least 50% more comments for minnnows then what it appear now - must be a happy balance??
Just one Steemians view/feedback :)
It's definitely too aggressive right now, but I understand the RC cost of everything will continue to reduce in the coming days.
Fair enough this will help allot of people with immediate issues.
I guess my main concern is on the number of comments/replies/post a minnow may do in one sitting..From what I can see I agree with the logic of everything else the Witnesses/Dev's are doing, but I think in stopping bad behaviors it might hurt the new people coming in (which could inadvertently have the opposite effect to all the good coming from these changes). I believe it's just a tweak (they need alittle more) and would be gold :)
