The spark lives on. 🔥

Well with Steem there is a choice being made where Justin Sun isn't dumping the premine and crashing it to zero. He may even be propping up the spot price with a little bit of money just so the project

Ah yes the old chicken and the egg bootstrapping problem. Which comes first? The money or the development? Will be interesting if AI lowers this barrier to entry.

Yield is way higher than 3% This number doesn't count curation. Actual yield is much closer to 10%. That doesn't count the value of governance votes either or building personal reputation on the chain.

Hive already has a connection to the Lightning Network and the ability to pay LN invoices with HBD. This may or may not become a very big deal going forward as HBD has no trading fees and the LN has no

It's even more frustrating to conclude that once you start learning to code you realize that getting a project completed on your own is difficult if not impossible. This is why teams and foundations exist.

lol nice explanation I'm not even gonna try to stumble down that hole. Spoken like someone who was actually there and lived it. soooooo yeah back to the original topic it will be very nice if we can streamline

there's no reason for me to use HIVE for transactions in life with other systems like PayPal. This is honestly an issue across the board. Why use a DEX when the centralized exchange is a requirement for

Splinterlands showed us it could be done before they fumbled the bag. They really pumped the price for everybody last time around. Hm yes but was it Splinterlands or their unsustainable broken Play-To-Earn

I've posted on this a couple times. It comes down to better infrastructure so that non-coders can create value within a new system. Like say someone creates a puzzle game. A way to create objective value

yes and feel secure enough to not get hacked Or if you were going to keep that amount liquid in the account regardless it would be the same outcome. Which... arguably a lot of people should be doing right

Yeah if you had it toggled to this setting you'd lose one powerdown on a hack. It would be a way to keep the first powerdown liquid while still being able to vote with it. I find your 4+1 solution interesting

Ah well you know what they say: If you don't have your health; you don't have anything. Perhaps this is more of a universal truth than anything I've written here. Godspeed.

There are more objective ways to measure value but we haven't built the infrastructure yet. I always come back to the idea of a blockchain game where all the content is created by the community and the

That's a great theory but the way I assume it's going to work in practice is that large curators are going to start running algorithms that check to see if you have an active powerdown and automatically

OTHER: I think there should be an option for every account to toggle their powerdown to an insta-cast cooldown situation. This would allow us to powerdown 1/13th of the account at any time on demand for

@edicted suggested savings accounts as a means of enabling investors to attain to ROI without deranging curation some years ago Ha yeah this was MANY years ago at this point. I know this because it was

So you believe that taxes generate x2 or x3 more value than the new money that banks print? That's a bold statement. Do you have anything to back that up? And as a follow-up to this, can you show that

I like the idea of a flat tax but why tax anything when the money is printed at the push of a button? Taxes only make sense in a world where the reserve is hard currency. And now we have crypto which is

I think they might be doing it in Australia as well but I haven't followed up on it. Whatever implosion is coming to the economy is going to be pretty damn epic. The cancerous tumor that is government
