RE: 25 Reasons Steem Will Replace Bitcoin as #1 Cryptocurrency by 2021!
One clarification id like to make here is that there is a big difference between an account and a user. Steem may well have 1 million accounts, but the amount of active users is far far less (i believe about 60,000). I don't see that as an insurmountable amount of signups for a new platform. Also, take into account that of those 60,000 active users, a lot are shitposters, plagiarists and people just trying to game the system. A platform that can prevent that level of noise but still offer rewards for quality posting is going to attract a lot of interest and I would expect a lot of the quality posting members of this community to jump ship when that happens.
There are a load of junk accounts. Some may be intended for spam. Steemit Inc are supposed to be verifying new accounts they create. How will they handle when it's millions?
STINC isn’t verifying shit. Phone numbers are available for free in bulk these days.
I have written a point-by-point rebuttal of @jerrybanfield’s incorrect propaganda campaign.
That kind of implies that they are handling it now :D
If it gets to the point where millions of spam accounts are being created, it will probably be a case of, "abandon all hope, ye who enter here". Curating good content is hard enough as it is (and i'm pretty confident I spend more time than most scouring this place for good stuff). More spam might make we want to give it up completely.
(Nice to see another UK steemian on here :) )
There's a lot of Brits here. I've met a load over the last couple of weekends. I can recommend getting to a meetup if you can
As badly as they are now, no doubt, which appears to be badly enough that incompetence is no longer sufficient explanation and we have moved on to conspiracy and malice.
