RE: How many active Users with influence has Steemit?
Since on Steem(it) there is a reward >0, anything that is paid out to users can be seen as money they wouldn't have received on any other platform. So they that's already a profit.
As for the number of "invested" people, you need to remember that Steem has only launched 4 months ago. If you think of a startup that has 40k people knowing about it and 2600 investors (crowdfunding style), then I'd call that a success.
The core concept of Steem is that over time, the money trickles from investors to endusers (which then also become partly an investor because of the SP/SD split for blogging rewards).
Assuming the market cap stays flat, only those "investors" profit from the platform that actually take part and post, vote, comment. Else, they will make a loss. Then of course investors can also profit from the growth of the network and market cap.
Also, investing into Steem is at least as risky as any other startup because you can only get fully out of it after 2 full years.
So, I am not concerned about these figures at all. At least they show we have a growing user base and we certainly bring crypto to the masses!
true, but my concern is, that we do not distribute the money wisely. Many are active with commenting or trying to bring usefull information, but i think that we spread the rewards not wide enough. To detect good content or at least users who are really trying is a pain in the ass. This should the focus, to make everyone's life better.
Money will be distributed over time. Given whales vote for anyone but them selves.
ok, but this will not help, because i just create 2 accounts. I do not think this is a problem. The problem is that we have to less people with voting power to get recognized.
I couldn't but help notice your username is very clever. hustlin :)
Minnows risk only time. Whales risk their money, so they get more money. All is fair.
