Every now and then I catch myself thinking
"I should go all in on steemit"
I use it everyday. I transition to earn my bread with steemit. By having more I am able to give more and therfore earn more.
I am blown away from the variety of projects people come up with.
The communites that were formed around differnt tags.
The community as a whole as we growing and growing and approaching 1 million accounts.
But what is the biggest + of steem is in my opinon the biggest - of it as well : The community
There are so many great projects but I am also scared to see a voting wasteland in a year and the only upvotes which go out are from bots and frontrunner guilds. Who, of course only dance for you if you pay. Like a stripper.
I hope you enjoy my rambling

To be or not to be a stripper is the question. I mean bots are good when there’s rules and regulations that are applied with them. Otherwise if they abuse their power , they shouldn’t be allowed . But that’s the question with bigger whales as well , what gives them the right to abuse their power

I think that there is a growing movement of people that are against the bots and those who use them to reach trending. All it will take is enough flags against those using/abusing bots to reach trending and the loss of hundreds of SBD for them to quit using these "services".
To keep people from using the bots you are seeing many steemians putting out some interesting information about the math behind them and how much of the reward pool is being captured by the bots and those who delegate to the bots.
We are also starting to see some people make a push to remove all witness votes to anyone that delegates to a bot to. If enough people do this the lost income from being a top witness might make them realize that earning from bots isn't worth it.
Either way there seems to be a growing backlash towards bot owners and those who delegate to them.

It is so polarizing here, I agree. It will either end up really really good, or really really bad. It just depends on who ends up winning, spammers who make money through bots or communities. I think steem is a very young platform and with that comes a lot of unknowns about the future because it is so young it hasn't created an identity yet.
I remember reddit and digg fighting over top spot, digg was the frontrunner but then reddit took over and now most people don't even know what digg is.. or slashdot but that's another story.
Personally I think it's still to risky to go all in on steem, too many unknowns. but then again there are others here who have done that they must have a higher risk tolerance than I do...
Anyway, the reason I stopped by was, are you interested in being a judge for #comedyopenmic? you've been a supporter of ours and a winner so come step behind the scenes and watch the contest tick.
Let me know.

Man I heard you loud and clear.
But my first instinct is to trust in the horde mentality of the masses. Once the bull run hits (not a question of if but when) more people would flock towards the platform. People would still be coming to Steem even if a better platform is available. Simply because, people instinctively trust tried and tested than a new thing.
Although you are right on that count that a better platform might come along but the thing is that Steemit is established and by the time a newer platform gains a foothold it still wouldn't be too late. Why? We could always transfer a part of my holdings to a newer platform. So my suggestion would be to keep a 70-30 ratio on Steem and other crypto's. I think locking it all in doesn't seem like a safe option and leaving the Steem behind is not the intelligent option.
Thanks for your post during the last few days. I have been enjoying them tremendously :-)

First of all, I would never go all in in anything, because everything in life is uncertain. Not that I am afraid of starting from zero again, but why the risk? I see a great future for steemit and its applications and I feel it is a good bet, but not a 100% bet. How about "almost all in"?

if it keeps going at this pace there is no doubt many steemians will give up job and will be full time steemians : )

When i see 200$ on a post and then see bots as voters !! Cant describe the level of hurt i feel !!
Someone really needs to do something about the bots !!!
Communities are the only way to survive right now on steemit !!
Good piece of thought !

Alles hat seine guten und seine schlechten Seiten, so auch steemit.
Natürlich läuft hier nicht alles optimal aber am Ende überwiegen für mich die positiven Seiten und Chancen, die die Plattform bietet

I've thought about all these myself as well. Going full into Steem is really a hard decision to make, i've thought of pulling out all my investments in other cryptos and putting it all in Steem.
Steem has grown really well and i have to say has impressed us all, but still the rising issue of multiple bots on the blockchain is really a drawback (my opinion)
I use these bots sometimes for obvious reasons but i believe it would be all beneficial to everyone if there was a way the terms of operation of these bots could be reviewed.
The bots harvest a lot from the reward pool and this definitely has to be fixed some how to get a probable breakthrough on the blockchain -maybe in a future hardfork

And the strip club charges more and more as time goes on, even though the strippers don't get any better.
I think that Steemit, as it becomes more popular, will increasingly reflect the level of human consciousness... does it make sense?
Too many bots ruin the fun. I agree! Besides, what I think amplifies this whole situation further is steemit trending page is slow to respond. Which I think slows down the experience on the app (NOT talking about app performance). If that can be adjusted somehow, then the bots will be less annoying IMO.
Going "all in on Steemit"- I really don't think this is a good idea, you always have to have an alternative to go back to if the main one doesn't work. I do believe Steemit will explode this year and people who invest, either time or money will reap very good rewards, still just relying on Steemit doesn't seem right to me. As for the bid bots I think they should eventually die out, in fact I think there are people who are now flagging posts up voted by bid bots- this should decrease their allure, I never flag anyone so I am not a part of this but yes, I think bid bots are ultimately negative for Steemit's future.
