RE: Don't vote for me (support a redfish instead)

in #steem7 years ago

I know some people invested many thousands when the Steem price was much higher and so they are operating at a loss for now. The acquisition of wealth is an end in itself for some, but it does not particularly interest me. My Steem was worth almost $100k at one point, but as it fell I was not that upset as I made it all here and so did not actually lose anything.

I think there are some crypto coins where the value does fall if you hang onto them.

I am not against people making money, but we need to give back a bit if we want to see Steem succeed. For now it is touch and go.

" The acquisition of wealth is an end in itself for some"

That's a good point. An even better point, to me personally, is the fact that some people are trying to recover their losses so to speak. I totally understand that and didn't think about it when I wrote the comment.

I was basically just thinking that having 1 or 1.1 million STEEM wouldn't be such a big difference to me, if the price reached $100 USD. lol

I totally agree with you though, that we need to give back more. Did you see/watch @theycallmedan's post yesterday? About 50/50 rewards? I find it interesting. The comments brings a ton of value too.

I'm not entirely sold on the idea of 50/50 rewards, despite all the comments about how awesome it would be... But it sure sounds both interesting and promising. What do you think about it?

Obviously 50/50 is good for those with a lot of SP to curate with. I'm not convinced it is the answer.

I think 50/50 would be horrible and benefit the rich even more then the current systems. They will not stop selling votes, instead they will earn 50% curation on the votes they sell. It doesn't solve anything other then locking in more profits for those with massive amounts of SP.
