RE: EOS - Should Steemit.inc take a position on all our behalf?

in #steemit7 years ago

Good point, so what if EOS is better, people still use Facebook and Steemit is better on some points. The real question is what happens to the data when you abandon a platform?

Sort:  

EOS is like an operating system for blockchain based applications, like steemit and bitshares and ethereum. EOS won't replace steemit, something else launched within it might because it may have advantages over steem.

I'm slowly starting to get it ;)

I really wouldn't like to be Facebook right now :)

Why not?

Just because it cannot possibly compete with what is here already, let alone what is coming. There is nothing they can even do to pivot that I can see. In actual fact, that's not nice and I hope it doesn't happen too fast, but I feel they have taken advantage of people so it is difficult to feel too bad.

Sure but I think there won't be a mass exodus, beyond a certain point people will stick until it gets really ugly and only leave when there is a good alternative. Steemit is definitely not an alternative to Facebook, no friends, no messages.
I'm not so familiar with Reddit but isn't it supposed to be like Reddit?

Quite right, this kind of thing doesn't happen overnight, especially when you have over a billion users ;)

Yeah, mark zuck... sold some shares just few days ago I heard somewhere...
