RE: How could Steemit help with world poverty?

in #news7 years ago

Yeah a lot of what you said is true, but I gotta emphasise again: 25% GOES to curators. IRL that doesn't happen. Negative money goes to the poor IRL, because they use their gains to sabotage the system.

Numerically speaking a tiny kick in the opposite direction is all that's needed reverse IRL trends, and this isn't a tiny kick, it's a complete inversion.

Just my opinion, but I don't think there's anything wrong with classification. I think there should be poor, and should be rich. What I care about is whether or not being poor ruins your life, and if you being rich means you can ruin other people's lives. On a base level in steem having lots of money means 1. You have to create valuable content; 2. you have to give away a significant proportion of it through.

I might be crazy here, but I think that eventually a psychology shift may happen here where people stop identifying what they do for them and see only what they do for others, because you posts are valued based on how much value they provide. But that might be crazy...
