Yea it's nothing wrong with any of that playing splinterlands which is a good project and not taking things seriously. That's fine, however what many of us are trying to sell to the world is that the blockchain is a viable solution to solve many issues. Splinterlands did well but splinterlands can't do it alone. They are like the only project worth anything. Im a philanthropist as well. It's nothing wrong with just blowing off time on the chain. My calling is different. It involves using technology and society to advance mankind. So not everyones calling is my calling. That's why i only engage with people here on posts and information that talk about serious stuff. As i'm not here to play.You know what the problem is. You see facebook i know it has it's issues. However the company is trying to implement ideas like universal basic income that's going to help people forward in this destructive economy. The problem with many of these blockchains hive being one of them
It's corporatism masked as freedom and liberation. For example here you do have censorship. They use the downvotes to censor your post and take away money they say isn't yours. Guess who else says that when they do it? The government
They rule from an oligarchy and most of the participants have bad distribution and holdings of the coin. Which is completely opposite of projects like bitcoin myk and bbd coin which is free mining and a free coin you earn based on what you do and not who you do.
So the original idea behind this blockchain was good. Dan larimer was a buddhist a guy who really wanted to help the world. THey wouldn't let him do it. So he did the wise thing and left. i'd leave as well. Only reason i stay is the system seemingly allows free transactions. We know it's not actually free but it's better than some blockchains. THat's the only good part. THe rest is a total pyramid scheme. So what you do with that? I don't know but i do know this.. THe narrative of facebook is bittersweet. you use facebook at zero cost to everyone. the servers have to be paid. you don't pay them your data pays them.
I don't particularly have an issue with that in our version of capitalism is evil but you should reap the seeds you sow to an extent as well. Meaning i'm against theft and robbery which is how capitalism came into existence. I"m not against fair wages for fair work. So none of this is an escape from that. THis place is just another version of that with different players i would'nt call it liberation or free. You'll see how free it is if you offend the wrong people around here with power.
So i'm for the best situation for the people. Facebook wants to do ubi at some point i'm for that. i'm not for them taking your data without your permission or removing you from the platform without justifiable cause. However it's many ways to silence people on the chain or off.
