RE: Is Steem a ponzi scheme? [repost, payout declined]
In Steemit's 2017 Roadmap, it's described as "the Steem blockchain's first and best application." One year later, can anyone honestly agree with this assertion?
In my view, the erratic price fluctuations of Steem & its diminished market valuation relative to other crypto projects that it has had a multi-year head start on conveys the dissatisfaction about the direction of the site and the seemingly ambivalent commitment to innovation from its leadership.
Ned's recent comment and downvote towards Dan is just one of many examples of this. It seems to have been the last straw for Dan, who has now said:
"When Steemit CEO uses company stake to vote himself $3000 on a 3 word comment to justify his downvote on a post that declined payment you have a system that is corrupt...I will strive to rebuild a new community that will hopefully realize my original vision."
which is exactly the rejected payment, I know that the one who rejects it does not receive anything but the one who votes in what does that affect him?
Dan rejected payment on his post. It was still downvoted.
ok thanks, but I wonder how it affects us when we vote for a post in which you have rejected the winnings, for who votes that post is exactly the same as with any other post or what advantage or disadvantage gives us who we vote?
