Yesterday we talked about a Spork, some people got so triggered it triggered me. :)
It was a discussion and it seems some were quite interested, some didn't know about SCOT and it's available functionality and didn't understand what I was talking about. Some were mad and offended. I consider that a win! Thank you to everyone for discussing it.
In addition to the 100 plus comments, I also received several DMs, just like the post with some strongly for and some strongly against a SPORK.
The point is you can make your own tokens now, set up any economy you want and market it to whomever you want for whatever reasons.
If you want to create a Flat Earth site and token and discuss things there you can. While your Steem earnings might get flagged away by the flat earth police your flat earth tokens would be fine.
And yes, you can work on an Economy that allows for better distribution, downvote rewards or none. It can be setup how you want to see it.
Is it odd we could all have a front end. Yeah, that would be weird, but I don't think it will come to that.
Also, some asked... Would that pull value away from Steem? The point is yes it could, but not initially and not as directly as you might think.
At this time I have no plans to immediately build SPORK, but the option is still there. It was a fun throught process and yeah, the idea is interesting.
If someone wants to invest in it and has a good enough idea, they can launch their own community,set up a distribution token and build it.
So, think about it... what does your perfect community, page and token rewards look like?
It's a great mental exercise to imagine your page, your token, and your financial incentives.
