Now that would be cool!

If you are blaming human nature as the problem, then you have a poorly designed system.

Possibly, though only in the short term. BTC going up 40% and pulling back 15% is pretty normal.

I sure hope you are right.

Nicely done. I wish I had dry powder to be buying that $7,500. I put the last of it to work at $10k unfortunately. Sigh.

What do you mean?

I think I remember reading they were looking at getting into bitcoin a while back.

It does. Steemit.com is one of the most used apps in all of crypto.

I hope you are right. I would have liked to see a bigger bounce by now though if this was the bottom.

Do any of this oligarchs have faces or names?

The point is creating an ecosystem and platform that is set up in a way that encourages people to buy in at all. I don't care if a whale or a dolphin buys in as long as they buy in. Without creating incentives

If you limit the influence of the whales, where is the incentive to buy more steem? By setting up things to make content work, but handcuffing the whales, you are going to get a decent content platform

Who could have predicted what free flags might lead to... (sarcasm)

Also, there are a couple possible downsides to this, which need to be considered. One being that it will likely entrench the current witnesses in their spots forever. As they continue to collect inflation

I have considered this as well. Will SMTs have any value though? It will be very difficult if not impossible for them to get on a major exchange. Also, does this kill the main value driver for steem? Does

What do you think was needed? (By the way I think some of the wrong things were implemented as well, but am curious to hear your take)

Judging by how governments are reacting to it, it's clearly not.

That may have nothing to do with UI/UX and more to do with the high inflation rate and a lack of exchanges. There is basically only one or two steem listings for US users at this point. That is not acceptable.

A lot of problems? Can you elaborate?

What would that entail? Do you have to travel anywhere?
