RE: If we truly believe in cryptocurrency, why is the value of posts shown in dollars?

in #steemthoughts8 years ago (edited)

This is sort of a needless post in my opinion.

We show $ amounts here to help ease non-crypto users into the crypto ecosystem. Without that conversion and display of steem dollars we see now, adoption rates would be abysmal. And we'd just have a bunch of neckbeards sitting on here circle jerking about how great crypto is.

Now, that being said. Your article was pretty well written. Have an uptugg

I appreciate your directness (and your vote). As I mentioned, the answer to my question is pretty obvious, but the intention of my post was to get people thinking about the implications of continuing to value crypto in terms of fiat on a psychological level, and the need to change that if we want it to succeed.

Ah, Put that way I agree with you.

However most people aren't ahead of the curve like us with non-fiat currency.
