After reading this post How viable is Steem as a currency ... . written by @theycallmedan I decidede to write this one.
A lot of people are worried about the inflation in steem and I understand why they want it to be reduced. I think there is an easy solution and that's limiting the rewards on posts.
After 3 days from now I will hit 2 years and 8 months creating and curating in steem. When you curate, you can't ignore to see how much others are earning and it's good for them. But, I would like to see more fair distribution of the reward pool. Most of us run away from the centralized world just to jump in a world where everything is transparent with no corruption. People joined steem to be themselves and to be rewarded for that. Their hard work should be rewarded if it's really valuable. Steem should be the best platform to create content in.
So, I would like to see more people happy with their contributions and to not feel exiled. I'm invinting people to steem all the time and when they join and post here for a while they start to ask me questions that make me understand their pain. That's why I'm writing this post, because I can tell my opinion about what's happening here from the point of view of others.
Recently I've seen someone asking ''What's the first thing people do when they join steem ?''. I think they look at the trending page. They want to understand what to do to get such rewards from their work. They do almost the same and in the end, they ends with earning a few cents or dollars from their posts no matter how hard they try. Only those who are lucky can be found by whales or big communities to support them. Or if they are themselves famous enough in the world to be support by everyone here.
Of course I tell to such people to join as much communities as they can and to use as much applications as they can. But even that didn't help them a lot. When we open steemit.com before joining it, the first thing we see that is ''Money talk''. Is that true ? The more money you have the more you earn ? This is what we want it to be ? I don't think so.
Of course the proof of stake maybe good, but we shouldn't forget about other types of proves we have here. Like a proof of brain, the proof of quality and activity, the proof of promotion. I think all proves should be rewarded and it's really possible what makes steem exceptional cryptocurrency !
That's why I'm so excited about steem, I think it can reward any activity on it !
So, maybe limiting the rewards on it will be a solution ? What if in the next hardfork a limit will be set on earning from posts. That limit could be set only on comments to not be manupulated. Let's suppose not more than $30 from a post and not more than $3 from a comment. I think more steem will be saved that way. Even those who are always in the trending page, they should create an other good post to earn that. That will make them more active. We will not see so many flags because of disagreement of rewards. Even newcomers will understand that to hit $30 they have to work hard, not just to join a community or to worship a while. We all feel the power of decentralization on steem.
After all, I'm just a minnow trying to see better steem and lower inflation. I'm not that good in economy but I know basics. I have a bachelor degree in international economics and I think that the monetary value of an assets can increase only if it will be hard to get for every single one no matter how much power he/she has or who is supporting him.
Maybe not everything is clear, but I'm not a native English speaker and I do my best to express myself. I hope the main idea from this post is clear !
Keep steeming and never give up on steem !
