RE: Are you ready to rock?
Well, it's also an easy fix, if only some consensus could be achieved. It is unlikely that, absent some catastrophic event, like a new Pearl Harbor, we could maintain Steemit's hegemony in the face of competition.
BTW, I got an email today from Gab.ai that mentioned investing in it. That may be some kind of competition for Steemit, I dunno. Thought it was interesting tho, because that may be exactly what it takes to make Steemit stronger - a harder world.
No promises as to where my eyes focus. However, if there's something small and shiny nearby, my attention will almost certainly be torn.
Hopefully when the backend is ready for the masses we won't have been beat to the punch by some other platform.
I've never tried Gab, but if it is a tipping platform I wouldn't invest.
I will eventually put $100 into Minds.com, just to cover my server costs and to get the badge.
I did a little reading up on Gab, and it isn't yet a tipping platform, just a Twatter clone, but intending to be more resistant to censorship. They do say, however, that they are looking at ways of enabling tipping.
I think this shows that Steemit is at the forefront of the tide of history, and there soon will be several platforms that seek to reward creators of content financially.
Now I have to read about minds.com. =)
You can monetize minds's points, if you can find customers and give up banking info.
The crowd is pretty anti-authoritarian.
Ah. I will be unable to monetize Mind's points, as I refuse to have a banking account. Steemit, and some other (non-bank) options are my sole recourse.
That will change, save your points until they start working in btc.
