RE: Steem Incentives and SBDs

in #steemit7 years ago

IMHO, re: long vs short = it depends.

  • I've seen people split posts up into way to many sub-posts. Making it near impossible to find them all.
    • Suggestion, if you do split posts, do it quick enough you can go back and edit in a link to part 2 in part 1.
      • and when you do part 1, of course, have a link to part 1 high up in the post. (I like reading part 1 before part 2...)

The more I read about SBD's the more I realize I don't know.

  • Several say it MUST be tied to $1 so entrepreneurs can sell stuff using SBD.
    • The value of the fiat USD aka FRN is now about 3% what it was in 1916 when it was created.
    • Why would anyone trying to create a new currency (SBD) tie it to an old, outdated & failed currency?
      • I would rather tie it to something like a silver dime (pre-1964) which currently trades for about $1.20 fiat FRNs.

  • That's how I found another interesting person (@protegeaa) to follow...

A jabi for you...
jabi = Just Another Bright Idea = pronounced jab eye
Since I just ran across you... I see you are writing a Steemit book.

  • BTW cool idea!
    • Do you plan on recruiting webmasters? Who in the past have had to jump through hoops to get a domain and server space, then find a good set of affiliate programs, then worry about SEO and off-site promotion through all the various "social networks" (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+, ... ...).
  • That was me (since '95). I got excited about Steemit because I could do what I like to do (produce content, create groups, ...) instead of all that other stuff.

Thanks-I haven't considered webmasters yet. I do have a .com site that I publish my articles on using SteemPress.

As for FRNs, I agree that they are problematic but they're still the best looking horse in the glue factory. It is good to have options. Have you heard of Digix tokens? They'll be backed 100% by gold, so you can trade gold on the blockchain securely.

Not quite"in hand", but as close as one can get. :-)

No, I had not heard of Digix. For the most part I stuck my head in the sand regarding crypto, until I ran across Steemit.

  • Thanks for the heads up!
    • Ron Paul turned me on to gold and silver back in the day. I had kind of ignored crypto, thinking it was Just Another Crypto... :D

I can't remember if Ron Paul got me into gold, or if gold got me into Ron Paul :-)
