This is what I've been waiting one and a half year to read! A way to explain to people where the money comes from, a way to explain to people that it's not just people buying Steem and powering it up wanting to get better self upvotes that pumps the tokens, it's actual ad revenue of thousands of people (soon to be millions?)! I'm getting more and more excited for tribes... if the tribes do everything right this can be world-changing.
And this shouldn't be a tribe only thing... steemit.com, partiko, esteem, busy,etc... all the other dapp platforms that connect to the steem blockchain to show its content should have ads that buy STEEM from the market and burn it! If we did this the token would appreciate in value, we would get more people talking about us, more people joining us, more people creating content, etc...etc... it would be a vicious cycle that would do amazing things for the whole blockchain and crypto space!
Ad revenue = cashflow, and like any investor and entrepeneur should know, CASHFLOW IS KING!
