RE: Is Steem really about Proof of Brain? - Thoughts on Steem's Future & Direction
The user retention is a problem that shoukd be tackled, most come to steemit with the notion that they are paid for writing quality articles. After the introduction post that garnered a few votes, most are left with nothing and leave the blockchain. You have to join a strong community or slaving for a top user to get quality upvotes. The power is kind of centralised with the early adopters and few that have the money to purchase some Steem.
A community where there is no direction, her progress will be slow. Direction also involves co-operation between the top users of the community. I pray a consensus shoukd be met so the blockchain can move to the next level.
I believe @dan proof of concept is a nice concept, but some users are threatening the existence of that concept, we must however come together to prevent that from happening. This is a big community and we all belong and have a say in it.
I take steemit as a site that helps me air my view to individuals from different cultural backgrounds, and also learn other people views.
do you hold any hopes on the upcoming upgrades, like SMT and Hive communities?
I must confess, I don't have any high hopes aside the fact that Steem price might increase. The basic problem won't be solved. It will still persist.
In my tribe, there is a saying that a place where there are no laws, it is a lawless place.
Certain Laws/Rules should be made to curtail abusive user activities. If not some users are hellbent on spoiling the system as long as they make their own profit.
can't argue with the logic... that being said I'm trying to keep my chin up, move forward...
