Hey Guy , great to see you posting again (-: I agree, I'm strangely optimistic, I think now that some bullshit has gotta out of the system people can reframe. It got too much about money. It has to be back to why blockchain and alternative currency/social networks are important against FANGageddon.
by the way, I'm glad you mentioned Whaleshares, I finally went to check the site... why does it exist? I mean, isn't it a lot of the same people that are on steem. seems redundant, what's the point?
It's an attempt, and a valiant one, at rewinding steem about 8-12 months ago... from where things started going wrong in that community's mindset.
...it's another experiment. To see if DPOS based social media systems based around token rewards can work. It has a different blockchain, with different coding changes. It's not perfect, but it's actively being developed, changed, and upgraded.
Since STEEM, the blockchain is MIT open source, that means whaleshares is able to borrow from that code base, just as much as steem can borrow from whaleshares too.
...more competing ideologies from similar code bases, is exactly what we need to propel this space.
wow, that is some deep shit... you must be smart or something... graphene based?? holy hell
:) I should have been saying DPOS... .oops.
