Sargon of Akkad Introduction to Blockchain, bitcoin and Steem
Drove 5 hours to meet Sargon of Akkad to tell him about Blockchain, Steem and 3Speak. He is very interested in decentralization of government and is open to new ideas about what blockchain can do for him.
Let's hope we get Sargon and other highly popular, dynamic, and credible content creators posting to Steem soon! Stay tuned for more.
Don't forget to vote for @oracle-d for witness to support the amazing efforts our team are making to contribute to the growth of the Steem blockchain
▶️ 3Speak
And here is the proof that I really was wearing a Gammon T-shirt when I met Sargon in Bolton.....
@starkerz, he just wants to be like me..... :)
What a pair of Gammons! The Gammon
@anarcotech I know you probably have an entire photo album waiting to be shared. Just post all of them already ;)
You do a great job promoting Steem!
Yeah @starkerz resteemed now THIS is a useful steem post! if @ned took notice and hired some steemians like you who live near social media stars, strategically placed, we could get soem serious promotion for stem just go outa nd produce interviews like this about crypro where we slip steem in, for all sorts of social media stars
Appreciate the sentiments @ackza! I am convinced that as we go forwards things like @steemba (https://steemba.com/) and other credible, professional groups on Steem will be able to bring budgets together to make things like that happen more often. We need to target creators, but also investors, businesses, government organisations and be great at explaining to them in layman's terms, what this stuff can do, as well as be ready to present them with package solutions to their problems, with minimal click an play, and hold steem to play models. it will come, just need time
You guys at @oracle-d have done a fabulous job of promoting, improving and using the Steem blockchain. What you've done with 3Speak is amazing and needed.
I've got a couple of questions for you if you have a moment:
Regarding Upcoming Hard Fork
Have you expressed and opinion on the next hard fork or have I just missed it? Will it negatively impact your business models?
I am personally concerned about the new voting curve where, if I understand correctly my ability to reward commentors on my blog will all but disappear.
When I met you at Decentralized in Athens you spoke about attracting investors based on giving them that power using their stake.
Regarding a Dapp For Contests
I still believe that this is a huge market opportunity that is being missed. I know that you and your team are very busy building and promoting other great projects but is something still in the works?
Contests are a huge business that attract people and could also attract sponsors and stake holders.
Any thoughts?
@kus-knee. The next iteration of the oracle-d platform will have a section to specifically let clients start contests. We already run a regular contest on @dapplovers. If u don’t know about it, u should check it out :)
Regarding hard fork, we are not particularly concerned. Projects like @likwid will help us to tailor how rewards are distributed.
Losing the ability to reward commenters will be a big problem, since this will be the main draw to transfer users from you tube to 3 speak. We will give the content creators the chance to distribute to their most loyal followers via giving them limited access to our upvote. Would be interested to find out more about the affects to commenting (do u have any sources for this?)
Thanks for the reply and the info about @likwid. I'll check it out.
The only info that I have regarding the effects on comments are the vlogs made by @exyle. From his understanding most often upvoting a comment will have little or no value! Time will tell.
Yeah man i have been testing and promoting @likwid and its working REALLy good only takes 1.5% so you can use bidbots now back to back every 7 days, almost twice as much now,
also to continue this idea of promoting steem by introducing it to social media influencers, we could start with @ned just promoting some projects to get social media influencers who talk about crypto a free steem account with a teeny bit of SP but more importtantly some major temporary delegation for like amonth or two so they can come show steem rto their followers
pewdiepie even got tricked into trying out Dlive... once ... hah hasnt been back
and so i bet he could be convinced to try steem as an alternative to reddit where posts cant get blocke dbecause theres the steem blockchain and alternative front ends, i canimagine pewdiepie showing these off and showing busy.org and going "Oh well i like this one better" and then i can imagine pewdiepie pausing, and restarting the introducinga nd going "Ok guys im here to talk to you about BUSY.org a new social media site that PAYS you and where you cant get banned!" hahaha i can imagine he just switches to busy as it looks nice,m and he will just start refering peopel liek CRAZY getting MASSIVE rewards from it.... we need a special steeminvite signup mode for pewdiepie tho thta gives him access to as many steeminvite links as we can provide, and we can use YOUTUBE as the filter, so basically yout8be has ways to distribute links to first 1000 viewers etc, we can have pewdiepie let his viewers all line up to get steeminvite links, so peope would have to bve creating multipel fake youtube accounts and wathcing him with them to get multipel fake accounts, so i think this has a chance, BUT the big problem is how @ned still hasnt given money to @pharesim and helped flesh out steeminvite.com which can send invite linsk and plug into a whales SP, and @ned can connect @steem and @steemit to it and get millions of new free instant account links a year im pretty sure and if not that has to be fixed in a HF, i havent seeen any info from ned on his new onbaording site but its needed badly, i need to know, what plans @ned has for onboarding and why he hanst helping pharesim create a new steeminvite that can manage invite linsk and create some sort of system to use facebook or twitter or reddit accounts with over a certain amount of followers etc to qualify for the free steem account...
THEN we can do a massive campaign to bring just crypto social media influencers to steem and have them make videos promoting steem, giving upvotes to their first 100 comments using the delegation ned should give to them... i know pewdiepie may not happen but he did do Dlive recently so imagine, pewdiepie or someone like him making a video showing steem and screencasting while he uses it and make sposts and shows people how his posts make one and comments get upvotes right after he posts pics of himself etc... he can have meme contests and upvote his comments, a whole new relationship between pewdiepie and his fans will emerge if he can PAY them via upvotes
Absolutely tremendous short video! I'm going to be building on this and sharing it in the coming weeks.
That's great development @starkerz. You are really giving in your all for steem to work. Great work Buddy
@tj4real, Thank you man. I can't stress how important it is to seize this moment and approach content creators who are being de platformed by the current technocratic orthodoxy, to make it clear that we are part of a movement that will solve the issue of centralized corruption, for it is one of the largest faults to the human condition and blockchain most likely will be the way to build this negative part of our experience out of society using benevolent technology.
As a classical liberal (not a “progressive” there’s a difference) I applaud you. I’d like a channel on 3 speak but my only “social offence” against regressive orthodoxy has been on a popular social media platform where I had a post removed for criticising another user for not seeing nuance in the Arab-Israel conflict, for collective generalisation against the IDF. I basically said If I remember correctly “if he thinks IDF soldiers kill kids for fun he’s a Jew hating asshole who should move out of his parents basement and get a job.” They removed the post for bullying and gave me a warning. 😂😂😂. To me that showed a bias.
It’s amazing to see a decentralised platform that respects freedom of speech. 😍
That’s our goal!! Good to have you here @paulofnottingham
Good job @starkerz.
Thanks @starkerz really everything you do to make things better here in steem has great value, may God continue to give you wisdom for the next steps that are to come.
Hahaha, fucking mad man, you actually met up with Sargon to talk about Blockchain? Now get him on 3Speak so I can donate all my Speak Tokens to him!
Just for the record, I don't really agree with Sargon too much, but I'm completely against him being removed from Patreon for example. I'm probably a bit more left than him, but I've watched at least a dozen of his videos and don't see anything wrong with him voicing his opinion.
Its great to hear a healthy debate and people being open to learning and not just seeing who can force their opinion down the other ones throat!
I can only hope small scale conversations like this are happening around the world and changing the way one person thinks at a time!
Decentralization isn’t the answer to everything but it is a vessel that can provide a lot of opportunities and foster good will and accountability online which the internet so badly needs

Absolutely @chekohler! I hope it can be a foundation from which we can build many opportunities, accountability and good will.
Conversations like these are starting to pop up all over the world these days. it really is the new way of doing politics.
Gammon = "GAME ON" @starkerz!!! Blockchain, Bitcoin and Steem in 11 minutes. Sargon of Akkad is very famous Social Media personality. Quite controversial though. And we need him on @threespeak and STEEM.
Btw you and Dylan are sharing Tees now? :P
yes! we always share Tshirts.
GAME ON!! I like it!
Great job buddy @starkerz.
I've always been a proponent of decentralization and I'm glad that people like Sargon of Akkad is about to join the crusade.
I see a future where blockchain and decentralization will go mainstream. This is a step in the right direction
That can be very good if he will take action part on steemit, that will take us much forward and much faster
