THIS IS HOW I READ “Hardfork 21 is HAPPENING. What will change?”
“The rewards curve is changing. We expect posts that would make more than 20 STEEM under the old rules to earn more after the changes. Those posts that would have made less than 20 STEEM under the old rules will receive less after the changes.” Means: do not waste your time in dealing with the posts of minnows, just concentrate on the post of whales. It is obvious that the poor minnows will not be able to bribe bots or delegate power to auto upvote accounts, so their posts will be under 20 Steem, which will give insignificant currations reward. As a poor plankton or minnow, instead of reading, commenting, upvoting, resteeming each others’ post, contributing the wealth of the wealthy is more profitable. The ramnants of the dinner of whales are much more than you can find in the garbages in the streets”
“Reward funding is being changed from the 75/25 split that currently exists, to a 50/50 split between author and curator. That means you will be rewarded significantly more for curating content after the fork.” Means: Stay where you are. Do not even try to move up to a higher class. You can not move either. All your fellows are serving the richest, and feeding from the junks of their tables. If you don’t, you will starve. There are no food left in the garbages at the street. If you are stubborn and continue to struggle we have to remind you that the change of 75/25 to 50/50 split also involves downvotes. We have strict rules here. We have downvote bots here that will blacklist you and downvote your content before you will have time to learn the rules. We do not have to bother ourselves to downvote you personally, delegating a small percentage of our SP then voting their repplies are enough. From then on they will downvote every of your post even you create the best content in the history of the platform. If you want to get rid of being in the blacklist you have to beg them in the discord. It serves two puposes: 1. We entertain from your humiliation. 2. You must get used to be humiliated in order to know your place. You see we took all precautions to prevent you from climbing the ledder. As we climbed earlier we are now pushing the ledder back. Still not enough? Check this:
“A downvote mana pool is being added, which will allow you –actually we- to make a few downvotes each day without impacting your –actually our- ability to earn curation rewards from upvotes.”
CONCLUSION AND MY COMMENT
Being an early adopter of any cryptocurrency, including Steem is highly advantageous, and those early adopters hundred percent deserve all those advanteges because of their high vision. I even think that all the people dealing with cryptocurrencies today are even not early adopters, but innovators. When at least 5% of the world population start to to deal with cryptocurrencies, the one in the 4th or 5th will be early adoptors. We are innovators today.
I am sincerely in favour of getting richer of every innovator here, and getting more richer of earlier innovators (whales) of Steem. They deserve it for having high vision. However, the road of getting richer of innovators or early adopters is in just one direction: MASS ADOPTION. Otherwise everyone of us here would mint a coin, hold 100% of it in our hands and wait for being rich one day. If we move in the direction of mass adoption, the value of Steem will increase, and everyone will win. If the platform moves in the wrong direction, we will see drowning whales in a small pool. They will hold all of the Steem themselves but the price of Steem will be wortless.
Power be with you Steemians, and I am sorry if there are spelling and grammer mistakes in my repply. I am not a native English speaker.
