RE: Curation Won't Grow STEEM Like Commerce Will
It seems to me that account creation, speedy account creation, could be implemented by any large SP holder. Heck, with a meager 5000sp, one can create an account every 4 days or so. If we all onboarded our friends... but alas, getting our friends to join is more difficult than it should be because steem doesn't seem like something -- Oh, I'm tired just thinking about it.
It's easy to go around in circles, isn't it, @improv?
I've looked at use cases for other cryptos and it's not like they're burning it up with diversity. EOS might, but so far it's not. Many of the rest were designed around some financial aspect—and compete with others in some fashion. But Steem can do things like that, too, we just don't talk about it. We get wrapped up in social media development and how to carve up the reward pool instead. :)
And that's why STEEM doesn't sound serious. If all we're doing is emphasizing the social side, regardless of how much we know about and dislike facebook, twitter, etc., they do everything they do better. And hundreds of millions participate in some form of social media, which means its not that special or difficult or valuable to folks.
So, we can't seem to get to cutting edge to offer something better than the centralized, data mining social media because it's too hard to do on a decentralized platform, from what I keep hearing, and hardly anyone has funding, so they keep trying for delegations, and so things just keep going around and around.
But that didn't stop Splinterlands. I don't know. I'm moving on from the worthless merry-go-round of what I keep hearing are impossible to solve problems. Doesn't make any sense to keep doing it.
Were I interested in starting a small business, I think Steem, the platform, and the chain would help me. (see my most recent post)
