Any person involved in the cryptocurrency space should be diversified into Bitcoin. Bitcoin may be in a slump at the moment, but it is not going anywhere. It will be back in time...probably with new all

On the other hand, buying Steem when your Bitcoin is worth less is not a sound financial decision. Better to wait until the Bitcoin price rebounds (which it will) and buy more Steem when the price is lower

There would need to be some kind of metric for paying content creators and Steem Power owners a percentage of the advertising revenue in the form of a Steem Power or Steem Dollar dividend. As an

This is why I contend that the path for Steemit mass adoption is going to be through such things as a "Disqus" styled Steemit app for existing blogs where you comment under your Steemit name

Okay everyone, get ready to downvote these little shits when they show up.

Partially a restatement in my own words since I also happen to share the opinion. I'm not a programmer, so I'm not really qualified to speak to the subject of the utility of bots.

The rank of an article in the "Trending" feed should be based only on the raw number of upvotes the article receives within the last 24 hours. The Steem Power of the voters should not count in

I'm not a big fan of just giving people large amounts of Steem for just being members. Beneficiaries need to either have some skin in the game(invested outside money), put in significant amount of work,

Absolutely. I hate Facebook now. I joined Facebook in early 2006 back when only college students were allowed to join. It was a really cool platform back then. Now it is just a bunch of political crap

Just work on developing a following. The early adopters who are currently "minnows" are going to eventually become "dolphins" whose votes will be worth MUCH more in a few months. Today's

What you really should do, if you are willing to wait, is let your Steem Power compound for 5-10 years before powering down. If the current interest rates hold up at least until Steemit reaches market

That's not the platform's fault. That is the fault of people upvoting her post. Any platform that pays out some form of compensation for posts is going to attract people who are not completely altruistic

As with anything, success comes with time, effort, and perseverance. Part of the issue is that Steemit's user base is still relatively small and only and small number of members have enough STEEM Power

A tip button would be a great addition! A one step action to donate STEEM or STEEM Dollars to a particular post or profile.

Are people actually getting paid for their content on the Chinese website? I looked at it via Google Translate and I don't see any indication of people receiving cryptocurrency. It just looks like a regular

If you want to do something really fun, plug into the calculator whatever your current Steem Power amount is and then type in 3650 days (10 years). It will be a VERY big number for compound interest:-)

You have my sympathy and share my frustration. However, I've also come to terms with the fact that I may not personally have any content to share that people will value. But, like you said, Steemit is

Or better yet, simply eliminate self-voting entirely. I'm not sure why it is even available as an option.

This is an intriguing idea. Rather than banning or blocking the use of content created by others, just automate the royalty payment system using a blockchain technology. It would be really cool if a database

1 BTC purchased about 164 Steem. It is still too early to tell how much of an impact that the purchase will have on my voting power. I'm thinking not much. Most whales have many thousands in Steem Power.
