RE: Smokin', Tokin', Cash Heartbroken? Wary Check on Your New Neighbor On The Blockchain …
Sorry my apologies for using the word 'steal' or 'stole'. Copied would have been a better word. Your getting quite defensive and getting deep, I like it! I think I made my point pretty clear and I'm still not clear whether or not this post is satire but from the conversation in Discord is sounding like it was 100% satire but the comments here suggest otherwise. It did trigger me like the good 'old' emotional Millennial that I am😂(Although growing up as a kid having a cordless phone was cutting edge tech.) and leads me to believe that it wasn't satire.
I don't think spending a year-and-a-half on Steem investing a lot of time into and investing money into it while really dedicating myself to it is being petty when you watch the activity on the blockchain go down, the market cap taking a hit albeit when I checked months back I believe it was around 1 million that transfered over? I just remember it was a significant amount.
Instead of creating a front end for Cannabis on steem it was copied and took people away.
So yeah I take ownership into my investment and time put on to steem and it's just irritating to see all the smoke groupies that are talking crap about Steam when that's the sole reason smoke.iO is even around and the majority of the people on smoke.IO would not be around at all if it wasn't for Steem probably be on Facebook or Twitter still. We all would be aside from the WordPress people.
I don't mince words and can be a little too short and precise in a PC world where everything has to be awesome and everyday is Taco Tuesday.
I agree with a lot of what your saying. Your not saying things just to say them or acting like your in an echo chamber. And after running 10 miles right this all seems silly as we probably will be on meos and steem.
As far as Dan L goes I don't know dude. He sure is creating good fud and making contracts with governments not to mention a major marketing layout for eos and meos. It is very alluring considering both steem and smoke are working the way they are specifically because of him. The dude is brilliant.
I'm kind of wondering where electronium will go and what Google is planning on developing.
I am not defensive albeit being a cannabis advocate and also a witness (member) on smoke.io. I'm merely stating what I think are important factors to be considered before labeling copycat/clone/whatnots.
AFAIK none of the top 20 witnesses removed any witness vote from the creator of weedcash. Or any of the other witnesses who are weedcash discord admins.
We are a small niche and still advocate pro acceptance. Most of us are first #legalizeit advocates. Then witnesses, of which the main task is to sign blocks without missing too many.
All that means is that it emphasizes the legitimacy of the sector by having more platforms.
Eventually both platforms may evolve differently (depending on the evolution of SCOT weedcash is a content site with Steem's rewards mechanics integrated where smoke is a fully fledged blockchain). I also think that it will be interesting to see how all platforms approach the actual struggle, user acquisition, going forward.
Let's all first focus on getting users, creating utility, and eventually - hopefully - enjoy scarcity. Without those we are merely at the mercy of BTC markets. Dancing it's dance, rather poorly as we can see when doing a simple
×3right now and comparing the marketcap of each token to its value when BTC was at 20k.Maybe the real thief is they who created the markets/scene in the first place. Those satoshis are bringing us value and at the same time taking it away. 🤔
Lastly, it didn't take people away. If people left Steem for smoke then it means that they saw more (future) value in smoke than in the known issues Steem suffers from. You can blame smoke for that, but alternatively you could assess that rationally rather than throwing stones. The blame game helps Noone, not your preferred platform either because it means you focus on the emotional side rather than on possible improvements. And it also makes you seem colonial, expressing ownership over... something which isn't yours in the first place but every users.
BTW I come from the Usenet era, not sure what you mean about PC and thinking that you may not have fitted the era rather than that you expressed libel/slander (depending on whether you consider this chat or publishing). I wouldn't know what that taco thingamingy is either since I abhore the sheeple cult and it's submission to the prowess of marketing. I see very little dynamic, I see blind fanboyism and stuckupism.
Wake up. Steem isn't the promised land and will never be until the fanboyism evolves in more rational assessing and subsequent acts.
Yeah China claiming they own 20% of bitcoin was pretty funny. Anyways not sure what I meant by that I was going somewhere with that it's getting late for me. More platforms is cool in all but in a world where companies want monopolization finding the platform that can acheive mass utilization across the spectrum of chains would be ideal wouldnt it? More platforms in this environment to me means more fragmentation and wall gardens. You know how YouTube Shadow bans people? They just don't shoot them through the algorithm. So I don't know if there has to be some kind of weird way to incorporate an algorithm too in my opinion. I personally really like the bid bots and how it represents a pure sort of form of capitalism.
Smoke.io is a DPOS system. Any witness “campaigning” for walled gardens and shadow banning would soon find themselves with all but dormant votes.
We actively promote ourselves censor-free as alternatives to IG, YT, and crackbook. All platforms with fiduciary duties.
You seem to bring many arguments to the table just for the sake of saying something but without actually looking at the specifics. In other words: you’re bringing nothing to the party. Nothing but noise.
At the same time, your earlier comments about “theft” and “marketcap” have shown that your colonial behavior isn’t better than that found from those platforms. DoubleFknStandards, I smell.
Lastly, you wouldn’t do wrong in looking at the distribution of BTC mining. You may be surprised to discover where a majority of mining is centralized. Companies set in China definitely mine more than 50% currently, with hundreds of millions available to further invest in hardware. Hardware they also manufacture and sell to the world. 20% may not be far off the mark.
… now you're mixing up different conversations in a pretty intransparent and dishonest way. I never mentioned "satire". Your communication style is not appreciated over here. Maybe just leave, @dynamicgreentk
Ok a 'playful' post not satire lol
yeah, lol. Rhymes with 'troll'.
I wish you love, and peace, and harmony and now please respect other people's freedom to express opinions you don't understand and leave this section of the internet you obviously don't like. Thanks a lot.
I have not flagged anyone and I have respected your freedom. This is a public forum sorry. However, I will not bother visiting your Channel again don't worry I won't stomp on your freedoms? or make you think that I hate the internet?😜
