RE: @Sweetsssj : Sixth Day Eleventh Hour Selfvoting via a 13-Account Content Farm ?
I agree that rules of conduct work in smaller groups the best. However, if something isn't done to curb the greed and gaming the steemit rewards pool, steemit as a social media site will starve to death. Maybe the SMT tokens will be able to help, I don't know. We can look to Golos as an example of greed running unrestrained ... maybe I should look at steemit as an economic system when framing this argument? There has never been a totally free market. I'm going to go read Milton Friedman writings and think about this
Thank you for a well thought out argument and I am sorry I can't go into detail because I have limited knowledge regarding anarchy and democracy, I have always felt they are the same thing...hahaha <3
Also pick up some Hoppean econ books ;) It's pretty close to what we have here. Effectively purely market driven. With all the foibles that attach to that, like sentiment, and opinion and other such "concrete factors" lol.
You should definitely be thinking of this place as an economic system, because underneath the veneer of blogs, comments, projects and websites, that's precisely what it is. A society, with a currency, in a decentralized, ungoverned environment. Partially ungoverned, that is, as there are block chain rules in place, - a constitution of sorts, in the whitepaper and hardforks, that sometimes change the rules in motion.
Fascinating, huh?
What do....
Dip into the currency stream, and play in the pool. I guess?
@sircork, Thank you for the book suggestions, I need all the help I can get, this new form of communication through digital currency/blockchain has been a steep learning curve for me...couple that with building a steemit account, investing in cryptocurrency, learning to format in html and researching/writing, and improving my painting skills has been so much fun. I think I lost my mind along the way, I'll never have to worry about my mind growing old because I forgot where I put it....hahaha
I'd like to have you on the air with me sometime, on @SteemStarNetwork. Perhaps you could oblige some time for some really good radio on these topics in a chat with our audience and other witnesses some Sunday soon?
I have never been on air and the thought is exciting and making me feel nervous/afraid. I've said no one other time because I am nervous about public speaking. Just because of that I would jump at the chance to face my fear and feel butterflies again, with more than a century of living under my belt nothing much gets my butterflies flying except the thought of a lot of people listening to me speak.
I am on Discord as reddust #3902 and steem chat @reddust. My time is my own so I can schedule a time to chat about this to fit your time schedule @sircork.
It's very casual, and the best time would be on a sunday morning. Ill contact you on discord. We do a weekly show, open to all steemitizens from 3pm till 7:30pm UTC-0 / 10am - 2:30 EST - details at @steemstarnetwork on how to find our discord, me and the shows we do there live nearly daily and sometimes multiple times per day now, with a 24/7 audio visual stream running live or weekly show replays at all times. Check it out!
