Yes, as anything in the world. But Bitcoin have a solid technological structure, and have already proven it's protocol security and reliability for around 10 years now. There is a reason people believe

My reply was so damn HUUUGE that my comment got pruned... Here is my comment as a post:

Not applicable. These projects never promissed any gains for just having the coins. Gains are coming from open market trading. The HEX founders never made a promise either. HEX was designed to work a certain

Classic ponzi scheme definition is correct. But anything that promisses gains without having something concrete to back these gains can be called a ponzi scheme. Well, that might be a casual use of the

Trevon James didn't create it. Remember, a decentralized application can't control who uses it. Let's focus on the merits of it directly. After replying to the low hanging fruit I'll address your larger

Very well, I'm always up for a debate, so by all means do your research about it. I'll make it easy for you and direct you to the most informative literature on how HEX works that I know of: That said,

That's ridiculous. Explain what you disagree with and I'll show you how you're wrong.

That burn feature is a nice idea. It seems like its a flavor of the HEX token's "emergency unstake" feature, but yeah, would be good to see that option.

I believe this would be a very bad change for Steem. We might soon be entering a bull market, but if we have a reduced powerdown rate we are likely to see much more dumping than powering up, which could

Excellent advice for writers. I definitely believe too many people focus on trying to write beautifully and don't put as much emphasis on actually making the story rich.

Nicely done, I like it.

I don't know about virtual worlds. Video games have done well and will continue to exist, but I'm not sure virtual businesses will actually come out to be as popular as people say. There could be a major

looks great, that's a beer!

Agree, SBD is a pointless and worthless complexity added to the system.

Well, that depends. My STEEM not powered up I have been selling for HEX. Because its rank on coinmarketcap is 2200 or so and it pulled in a lot of Bitcoin whales that will likely support it. So, I think

I understand how you see the RC system and it is a legitimate viewpoint. You might have the opinion that it is similar to buying a solar panel for your roof, which then provides access to energy over time.

First, appreciate the reply. I have nothing against ETH, but I do believe it will need to make improvements to solve the issues of congestion as well as high gas prices that make running many Web 3.0 aspects

As I am sure you can tell from my name, yeah, I definitely don't see Steem as a web 3.0, that's Ethereum, possibly Polkadot and Filecoin as well. But Steem is just 21 witnesses that can be voted in or

Good info, thanks for the post. It is nice to see how 3Speak is coming along. YT sucks!

I only now stumbled upon this post @therealwolf, and decided to give a reply. SMTs could be a solution, but not if STEEM remains being minted via Proof of Brain. The problem is clear from the behavior
