Why did I wait so long?
It's 44 pages long.
I read a lot but 44 pages seemed like a huge time investment.
wow, just.. wow.
Many times when there is something that seems "too much for me to read" I think of it this way: "how much faster am I going to read and adapt this knowledge than it took the person/'s to write the 44 pages for me to understand it.
I find it funny that you thought 44 pages were too big of a time investment considering the time you have invested onto the platform in general. I also think your timing now to read the whitepaper couldn't be any worse considering how outdated it is after all changes and the upcoming ones.
Steemit is not fair.
Steemit will never be fair.
Best thing you can do is create extremely high-value, authentic content, suitable for publishing in the New York Times.
How are these tips?
actually, the info I provide in this post still applies to newbies. The basic algorithm for payout distribution has not changed. Also, there are no comics in the Steem whitepaper......and it still feels like a casino, too.
I'm guessing this is a reference to:
Tell me exactly how you think the platform is like a casino?
I understand the reference that commenting/posting/voting is like mining in bitcoin, but that the platform is like a casino?
In a Casino you need money to gamble and win money, a casino is designed to win in the end.
On Steemit you don't need money to win money, you need time, dedication, persistence and connections. There are too many members to count who have made an income but started with 0, me included.
Having been a gambler many years ago and the addiction it brought and the depression that came afterwards, it disgusts me that you like to compare the platform to a Casino.
So you thought that you'd create 2 creepy comics that don't vizualize anything about the whitepaper and feed that to newbies? Do you feel those two "comics" represent the platform in a fair way? Do you think Ned throws dice whenever he is about to vote on content?
I would gladly pick your article apart and comment on each thing I think you gave an unfair negative look at, but I feel like I will be able to use my time better somewhere else.
it appears that you have some difficulty with accepting a version of reality that is different from your own.
Is the content of your posts a version of your reality?
critical shpitical.
what?
My thoughts exactly, I'm wondering at what point we need a v2 of the whitepaper as we seem to be straying pretty far from the original paper in some ways...
Maybe after the roadmap could be a good time to update it. :)
