RE: Hive Staking Rewards

in #hive5 years ago

Start throwing in all these complexities and percentages and all you'll get are a tiny handful of crypto investors.

This. One of the strengths of this system is ease of use. Not looking to jump through even more hoops and rent my credits and whatever else was being discussed to do. If it's not easily understood, the entry is going to exclude more than it does now.

Fakebook sells worthless game tokens all day long for cheats and specials. Artists use Patreon for compensation. Reddit offers useless gold to share from one user to another. Not sure why there hasn't been a stronger push to gain producers and their followers. Invest in yourself, then you can reward others from your claim from the reward pool without ever touching your initial investment. On top of that, you will share in the rewards for the appreciation, as well as watch your investment grow for sitting there waiting to be used.

I also think most aren't investing in this to gain some kind of rewards in some other side token. I saw that shit over on Steem with a weekly growing number of shit coins with no use being created on that Steem engine. I began powering down the minute Sun said Steem is going to be a Tron side shit token. If this becomes some kind of you have to rent your stake scheme involving dapps and such I will do the same here. Thinking most of the problems so far is instead of looking at businesses that would be enhanced using Steem and now Hive, so many startups looking to fund themselves off the system itself.

The birds in hand keep being overlooked.

It's frustrating watching folks want to buy a truck and convert the truck into a car, instead of just buying a car, if a car is what they want. That's all I'm seeing.

There's a proven business model sitting on the table that has existed for centuries. It's being ignored? So we can do something people have already done, and failed or struggled with? Just to enrich a few who already hold the tokens? Squandered potential. That's common in crypto. This industry wants to go mainstream but nobody ever listens or caters to the needs of the mainstream. It's like they still want to trick people and convert billions into 'investors' ...and that will never happen. Nobody wants to use a social network that has landlords, for instance. A conversation here shows me the plan is to put those who can't afford to be in business, out of business. This is a joke.
