While browsing through my phone for some videos Ive been needing to upload to D.tube I had come across thid short video I had taken a short video of @mughat s discord Channel when @ned and @mughat were having a discussion on 1Person 1 Vote style systems that Ned proposes we create inside a smart media token, and Mughat wanted Ned to be cautious of some of the traps of well meaning altruism or "service to others" which can degrade a company which needs to have self interest and a profit motive to build at its core. Because if you don't serve your own interesst youll just end up serving the interests of others.
(End of video was me talking to @surfyogi lol sprry but it wasnt on the discord dont worry)
I think we can walk the fine line in the public eye between altruism and self interest and make our programs of self interest appear like they are altruistic, and honestly the billionaire who keeps all his own money and then has enough to hore thousands of people is MUCH more helpful than the new millionaire fool who comes into some money and then gives it all away in small amounts to a lot of people, not helping anyone with anything substantial... we need people who can think about and act on their own self interests and i believe Mughat just needs to educate more steemians on this very important Point that to be "selfish" is not a bad thing. BUT i also must defend @ned and say that ned is not being some sort of altruist, just look at his voting record, lol hes not jist handing out money, and his 1 person 1 vote system is not a fundamental change to steems proof of stake, I believe Ned scott, Steemit ceo, simply wants steemit to give him and us all the usefulness that reddit has for example. Just visit https://reddit.com/r/bitcoin and then go try our current pre hivemind version https://steemit.com/trending/bitcoin
See the difference? Soon we will be able to just use https://steemot.com/bitcoin when hivemind/communities comes out but untill then we can show you the old category system which Ned said hes always been unhappy with and I agree. Ned wants something nice that he can also use, just like reddit founders still use Reddit today... And i believe with communities, Ned will get what he and all of us daily users have all wanted for a year or longer in cases of others ehove been here since the start.
i believe that we can have the usefulness and thus popularity of reddit and simpky gauging a posts ability to trend by total number of votes ibstead of stake based votes is simply a way to get some more "organic" voting on steemit so we can actually see what the CROWD likes for a change instead of just seeing what theis same group of steem stakeholders like to see lol. Reddit for example will show you what the masses just seem to vote on and we end up with a constant feed of never ending beauty and inspiration that no one person has the time to go through... its like infinite content more than you could ever use... This is what steem can provide afyer we scale up, onboard every reddit user so we have 1 user for every one of the 260 million+ steem tokens or at least 1 new user for every one of the 78million+ Liquid non powered up steem, because all the rest is already powered up so theres only uner 80 million left that under 80 million humans will have to compete for if they want it... and no one market has that mych so if anyone tried buying anywhere close to that much the price is skyrocketing up to $10 and beyond over night for sure.
