RE: "The Steaming Pile of Shit Called Steemit" Brian Sovryn

in #steemit8 years ago

To think I once hired him to help market bitshares only to have him quit after the public announcement.

One day he will come around, he has been stuck in the Bitcoin maximalist echo chamber too long.

Sort:  

Don't worry...They will ALL come around very soon! This is a platform that not only will be available to famous celebrities, but also third world nations. It will create income for people who have had no voice in their oppressed countries...A great time to be alive!!! Thank you:)

yes its a true and wonderful point you make, lets hope that it goes down this path, as this world or certainly parts of it have been kept out for far too long !! Give the people a voice, give them Steem to power up their dreams and communities !! ; - )

The issue with a lot of third world nations is the ability to convert into their own currency I believe. I could be wrong, but right now you have to convert to bitcoins then into a currency such as USD, but not all countries currencies are available to convert, or am I wrong on this? Although at least they would have the ability to build up a good amount of SP then later convert once the ability comes available.

Yes I agree. But Rome definitely wasn't built In one day! Lol Building the biggest Social Media Revolution will definitely take time. Being In the crypto space requires ALOT of patience! But, if we focus our efforts to help the founders get the word out, this adoption will fuel itself:) Great point though!

lots of maximalists will be opening their eyes in the coming months. i was one myself until Steem opened my eyes https://www.getrevue.co/profile/control/issues/control-issue-5-20293

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed the read. I think there may be one mistake in the article. The way I understand it, the your reputation the more you can effect a Flag (or down vote). However, it is only with higher investment in Steem Power that one gets a stronger upvoting influence.

... and i just learned something. Thanks @james212

One Brian quote that I left out was that"Steemit was founded by nice guys." He does not dislike you, just Steemit. Once he fully grasps it.... he might produce another episode with a different conclusion.

Yet another point of his that i left out is that "Steemit has only abiut 1000 followers on Twitter... ...so how viral can it be?!"

My response to this is that once new people join up... Steemit IS the social media platform they switch to. I only use the others to... promote Steemit now.

One last point that voluntaryist creators must come to terms with; your market is migrating over here on Steemit. We won't notice you near as much or at all on Twitter or Facebook or Reddit. We love Steemit. We OWN Steem. Thank you @dantheman.

Re twitter: 1752 followers of @ steemit on the bird page - lets grow this if only just for the cred.

Thank you for believing in us.
