Sorry about delays with #untalented 3.0; it is in the making.
Speaking of how massive an INTRODUCTORY post can be as highlighted in my last post, open these two posts in new tabs:

Quick Updates on @steem-untalented Most Historical Human Bot.
Please keep trying to use it as it is still in beta and we use feedback to improve on it. So even at times when it doesn't respond promptly; attempt to use it still. We are updating the commands for calling it to:
- @steem-untalented
- #untalented family
Not every bot on steemit is accepted by community, thus, we need to involve "community" (you & me) into its creation. When using the above commands, please try as much as possible to insert these keywords within an actual engaging and interactive reply.
Calling the @steem-untalented also allows you, the opportunity to give out an extra vote apart from yours to stir encouragement, smiles and community. For now, it has a little above 1,000 steem power, which we will try to increase once @steem-untalented is in stable use!
Overall, we don't want any level of talent/gift/"human"/awesomeness/attempt-at-awesomeness/attempt-at-out-of-the-boxness etc go amiss or emptily slip by; so we want to call on "@steem-untalented", whenever/where-ever on steemit it is, that you spot these things or the evolution of these things.
Basically, when you mention @steem-untalented, it can take note of these things, to seal the deal and we can uncover every gem or trace of gem on steemit as well as help every lowly/down-trodden spirit, to get its mojo back!
What @steem-untalented tries to do when evoked by means of the keywords (commands) above is; it gives out a vote and a comment (a seal of acknowledge/inspiration/direction for improvement/love/smile etc); after which it takes and keeps record of the event. Potentially, it directs some of these talents into their vision and dream-building aspect by reveal to them a @steemgigs community, where they can offer their expertise, while hone in it and creating history by offering it as a service in helping "steemians in need" build their dreams.
Any follow-up on these talents is accomplished by me as i look to study and respond manually to any follow-up replies and give a further human touch of love.
Overall, all response given out by the @steem-untalented comes from me and variations of these replies will continue to evolve over time, to make it more organic and even more specific. As we continue to grow the #untalented family to historical level, reaching the entire globe, we will start to look into ways to grow in our effectivity here on steemit.
Today's Topic Answers Is A Pertinent Steemit-Related Question
In the meantime, let's attempt to answer a pertinent question from Ceepee's recent contest, where she had steemians interact underneath her post to answer:
There is no doubt, that more people on steemit is a plus!
But i see this question, underlying wanting answers to the question: "will we have enough earning to sustain the eco-system, if steemit starts to host millions of people?"
Yes, many people have been interested in the question: Where does the money come from?
And you will find a ton of answers to "where does the money come from" here:
- [Steem Where Does The Money Come From] --- by @steemrollin
- [Where Does The Money Come From] --- by @beanz
- [Steemit Where Does The Money Come From] --- by @lydon.sipe
And a video that kills the explanation:
video is a production of @clains
Then, here is my response comment to @rival yesterday, where i tried to break it down, in easy terms
Finally, look at selling points of steem, in a simple break down:

My Tiny Answer Before Picking Winners To @ceepee's contest
I want to say that in my answer today, there will be "no books/whitepapers" involved. It will just be raw answers from me based on simple logic, understanding underlying concepts, plus, "my gifts" when it comes to understand life and humans. (My answers may vary from the conventional but can have large elements of truth, so please sift it, for the good in it)
Overall, when it comes to a social communities, even online, "humans" are very much involved and in certain aspects/cases, human reaction is almost predictable.
Too, regardless of the level of tech/world innovation/internet etc; a study of "humans" and "human reaction" must have been involved.
Humans have always been the audience.
So when i got on steemit as a newbie, my gifts in understanding life and humans, was one of my edge in relation to being sped up to understand the underlying concepts called steem & steemit.
I forgot the technology for a start and saw reputable great minds
I also had another edge, which we will see as we proceed:
Before steemit, i had spent time on the internet and ofcourse in the real world and there was one thing, that even the world has not done enough of until steemit; yes, even many of the elitetest intellects/innovators of the world, have not done one thing:
They haven't taken into cognizance, the entire world, in the evolution of the model of their innovation.
This is what i have seen over time and wanted to adjust and this started to guide, most of my innovation ideas.
"Removing barriers" easily became a thing for me. My audience; "the world" became utmost!
Going Back
Let's take the world of tech for example:
On my PC (an HP Laptop) currently, there is no lighting on the keys of my keyboard. Now, its not a problem because i don't experience much power outage, where i live.
However, i know many laptop users today, who have had to fold their Laptop screens down & towards their keyboards, because it became dark and they are no longer able to type easy.
You will easily see that a part of the world, may not have been fully taken into cognizance, during the creation of some of these laptops. I am not with these creators & i haven't interviewed them but this is only logical:
It is not very easy to envision fully, "a world" in which you have not been in. It is possible but not very easy!
Now, let's take a quick look at the social spaces online and you will notice that Mark Zuckerberg, didn't either. Yes, he may have taken cognizance of these developing nations, during the evolution/innovation of the model behind Facebook but not to full extents.
I am not with him and i have not interviewed him but i see him attempting to grab even this audience over time, by looking at other models (social interfaces) and buying off these models, along with the audience that follows it.
Yes, the expectation of internet users from these developing nations can be very different. Even down the "style/pattern of internet usage --- Even down to "search keywords" used in search --- Even down to definitions of spam and abuse etc.
Basically, what i am trying to say his, before steemit, i haven't come across any social interface/network/community in the world, that took full cognizance of the large audience of internet users coming from developing nations, during the creation/conceptualization/materialization of its model/paradigm.
Thus, i had sought on a route to adjust that and wrote my own model of a social interface/community and wanted this to become one of my many gifts to humanity.
But then i found steemit and on the spot, steemit marveled me but even moreso, the creators of it.
Steemit was the first working platform, that i have seen, that look into grabbing the entire world as audience and whether knowingly or unknowingly, had involved these developing nations too (every human).
Ultimately, what i saw is: they had involved the entire humans race by trying to involve freedom/equality/morality etc in their paradigm and by this means accomplished an attempt at touching every human in the nooks and crannies of Mama Earth.
But there is more and this made me stay on steemit with full conviction! (Note, that before i found steemit, i was in search-mode for up to a decade, on the internet and i eventually joined steemit, upon finding in it in the search engines during "search-research-mode").
They (steemit) added a paradigm that keeps it in never-ending evolution, by giving/even incentivizing every human, regardless of location/status/literacy etc, to take active/actual part in this evolution.
Nothing beats this genius!
Steemit evolves over time and with over time, with this model (which very much involves every reputable humans); they will have been able to touch fully, on the needs of every human alive, making "the audience"; "billions" instead of "millions".
I instantly knew this when i stepped on steemit because my target audience all along as i evolved in my substance over the years and started to create innovation ideas, simply had to involve "billions", not "millions".
I don't mean "money", i mean "people".
I marveled at how, Ned & Dan, who may not have been physically present in developing nations, have managed to pull this much genius off, so next; i simply needed to attempt to determine out, the staunchness and solidity of their vision, by identifying the substance of their human.
I didn't need too much of whitepapers for this as in my case, these things are plain to see! (I see them very fast!)
I simply, went to look for Ned's blogs to read; looked at his profile and saw; "a vision within a dream", then i looked at one of his comments and saw that his mama had helped him suggest the name "steemit"; saw his playside, when he joined the meme challenge by @fibra59 and saw his struggles as he toggled over time as to what to call steemit users; whether to call us "steemiteans" like he has called us in the past, or whether to call us "steemians", like i spotted him say in one of his recent videos.
One more thing, that made the whole steemit/steem enterprise a classic (for me when i joined) is the steem blockchain. This is what puts power in to you & me and every human almost equally, thus, having the potential to reach every human over time. An open source steem blockchain with the best capabilities out there, accessible simply by means of a browser and mine-able via the same means, is simply "lit!" Too, one upon which, you can create any app of choice. "Limitless"; when in the hands of great minds of repute!
Then i looked for one of Dan's video and saw it all, on the spot!
Similar to how, my steemian brothers source out my last post, to determine my substance, after reading my more recent posts!
It is not impossible to take into account every human, in the evolution of an idea/innovation, it is just a bit harder because you will need to tap so deeply, into your own human and not rely totally on your intellect.
There is a whole large world is out there and it is suffering, so you will need to feel and "see" a bit more. You will need to have applied "heart" a bit more. You will have had to go into someone's tight shoes a bit more. This is a harder route.
I tell you, "in the world, humans are painted as being different (class/status/breed/standards/IQ) but in the jungle, we are so not different.
Yes, me and Mark Zurkerberg; "in the jungle" are so alike and don't be surprised, my IQ then, may topple his!"
Just around these times, when i joined steemit, i also saw Akasha but in my case, it's was very easy to spot the extent of its vision and once there is an "extent"; "unspanless", then, its not it is not my landing spot or eventual home!
Basically, to start up Akasha, it sometimes felt like you were downloading an entire blockchain as it wasn't accessible using a browser and it used up too much of your internet and PC resources and being on an Ethereum blockchain, you will need to pay gas for most transactions.
It has a blogging style to it too but hahaha, nothing like steemit! Being on an app (software exe), at the time, i could see it ranking in the search engines.
Now, we come to an another aspect where i saw instant genius (when i joined steemit), when it comes to the whole steem/steemit model. Hahaha, to bring steem to the mainstream, you will quickly say, "how genius, that it allows everyone the ability to mine valuable tokens, without even knowing it, by removing barriers to entry and let everyone do simple things, like blog, vlog, post pictures etc (conventional/mainstream stuff)" but hey, "there a major genius is in how this may/must have been all planned to bring steemit to the entire globe, even without conventional ADs".
"Serve the search engines!"
Hahaha, soon there will be an organically findable steemit blog on the search engines, answering every organic search query worldwide. Yes, serve the search engines with thousands of blog posts a days and steemit is bound to rank in the search engines and the world can simply do nothing about this. It is an obvious movement.
We are reshaping the internet, removing inequality and re-infusing it with "human"! Geniusness!
(Geniusness is probably my word and i define it as any level of genius that even the most ungenius baby in the world can instantly obviously see!)
Overall, steemit seems to like to take the hard unconventional yet testimonial route and that is the route i have taken all my life. Yes, months back, @zurvanic and @andrarchy came into the picture to spur on steemit growth and they didn't take the conventional route like was the case with Amanda of Dash. They decided to try and inside-out approach: simply makes "steemit" a home for its existing community and the world out there will hear of it. So they applied an approach that heard the voice of the community, giving back power once again to the community.
Now this may be all slow-looking but perhaps, solid and more long term and ultimately, more organic!
Let not forget YOURS
During my early days on steemit, i also found YOURS. It was in its early stages and i found the email of its CEO and i decided to write one un-edited chat response on their slack channel at the time, explaining how there may be an audience, that they are not tapping into and how i understand the developing nations, its people and their expectations from the use of the internet.
Yours was still in its early stage, even UI-wise, so the CEO let me in and arrange a google hangout. Hahaha, i rushed from all-night work duty on that day and got home to start out with the hangout.
He also brought his CTO, who was resident in another country to the hangout. So me, CTO and CEO in the first hangout and i was the speaker, while they asked me questions.
They were intrigued at how much they have not covered, when it comes to the span and vision of YOURS and its potential reach/audience and they arranged another hangout. In the second, hangout, it was only the CEO and i and he started to explain the whole model of YOURS and i heard it clearly from his mouth and could see where it is headed but all it led me into, is further realization that "steemit is home".
I was still a steemit newbie!
He knew of steemit! At the time, i wanted him to join steemit but he had a picture in his mind of what steemit is about, based on some things that he had read on medium about steemit etc and he felt he had an edge with YOURS over steemit but i didn't see it like that.
Next hangout, he brought the UI designs and he wanted my views as someone uses the internet from the developing nations and i helped with discussing it.
Yes, i was still a newbie on steemit then, but i have done, the INTERNET so much and been on so many social communities and interfaces, to understand these models on the spot, thus, to know if they will work, crumble or reach the entire world and steemit/steem stood out to me as being on another level. No competition!
If the state of the steem blockchain stays top notch and its community of great reputable minds continues to flourish even numerically, every seemingly evolving competition, will simply find itself building on steem. It's that simple!
(A reputation model/paradigm in steem/steemit, is another "geniusness" as regardless of what heights you want to take your intellect to, it keeps your behavior/love/heart "human" in check.
Even the bots on steemit have hearts e.g cheetah grew heart and @steem-untalented is becoming the most historical human bot on Mama Earth)
Now Back To The Original Question
Yes! More people on steemit is win-win!
Steemit has evolved over time, with many hardforks to this effect. If you are newer steemians who is starting out as a minnow, you may not have noticed but the last hardfork put power, even in your hands!
A whale on steemit, used to be astronomically powerful before the last hardfork, (there was a Mathematical square to their power prior to the last hardfork), then there was discuss and a concensus arrived at, to spread power across to minnows and dolphins (more evenly).
So, while many still try to attract whales, you very much forget you & me.
Before the last hardfork, 1000 steem power may struggle to give out 1 cent in rewards. Currently, however, even at the current price of steem, it gives away 9 to 10 cents. Let's start focusing on this beauty!
Yes, several dolphins together, may be able to stir as much impact, even as a whale. The steemit ecosystem has evolved drastically from where it used to be and this is itself is beauty!
As for fears that more steemians joining steemit and there will be no rewards to go round; "No need to fret about that!" First off, there are many types of rewards and numbers improve them all e.g look at this simple example:
The Philippines for instance; if i own a business e.g a remittance enterprise like coins.ph (that helps with exchange from bitcoin to FIAT) and i start to notice that there are 5 million Filipinos on steemit; won't steemit start to catch my attention?
Yes, an organically ready-made audience almost for free and all i need do is; improve my reputation i.e improve drastically, these Filipinos' conviction in the solidity and longevity of my enterprise, like is the case with @blocktrades) by simply joining steemit and investing in steem power etc
Now if your business in real life is selling "air tickets" and you have built a solid reputation on steemit, then what stops you from offering such service to an eventual 5 million/billion steemians in the near future?
Same will happen with @steemgigs, when its interface is eventually functional on the steem blockchain. Same is happening with @utopian-io as the number of steemians increase.
Yes, there will be more incentive for big enterprises to join steemit and invest in reputation, likeablilty, steem power and build organic influence instead of paying millions for hit-or-miss-ADs. (Remember that steemit posts rank well in the search engines too. Within a little more than a year, steemit ranks 2,000 or 3000 top websites in the world)
SMT will also create more opportunities to bring steem to the moon.
Overall, it is not exactly about the number of tokens produced and whether it will go round but the price of it.
When the price of steem was cents, it was even faster to accrue steem tokens!
Apart from steemit, there are external factors that influence the price of steem as "steem" is on the open market. Yes, even non-steemians buy and trade steem but even as some rely solely on speculations, for making these trading decisions; some do an actual understudy of the tech/vision/longevity/solidity/scalability/security/community etc of steem/steemit, in determining trading decisions.
Some rely on news too! All these external factors, have its own or additional influence on the price of steem and many times, humans can sometimes react similarly to stimuli e.g when there is news that bitcoin will fork, you will notice that the price rises.
There is also a scarcity factor at play! When the masses join steem; steem becomes a scarcer commodity, thus, making the price of steem higher.
Conclusion
Overall, i tried build on and play out before you, my own raw conviction about the solidity and expanse of the vision called steem and based on that:
Let the masses join in. For now, gather and value those steem tokens however small, for steem is not money! Yes, steem was worth 15 cents months ago but it did get to levels of 2.35 USD
Steem token according to me, also has mechanisms in place to prevent it from so hurriedly drastically crashing in price. Powering up for instance, gives influence but at the same time it is vested and can't be liquefied so instantly, thus, has impact in preventing an instantaneous crash in price.
When it comes to a community, humans can't all have the same reaction to stimuli at the exact same time.
Overall, start to tap into other beautiful facets of the steem blockchain. Impress/marvel your own self/develop in your substance/pace things/don't jump queues/play out your vision and keep evolving it till it is limitless and whales will try to attract you!
Look to other minnows as powerful as well. Pull out the more veteran minnows and enter into interactions with them (unbury these beauty) and reach out to the dolphins too.
I tell you, looking at wallets, ties you down as it removes your peripheral vision. You leave the entire whiteboard and only look at the tiny dot on it.
Finally, "there was life before steemit", bring your existing visions on the steem blockchain. Then when upon steemit, don't just look; "see"!
Try curation too! It's a gift to be able to curate; sometimes it takes a special type of intuition; identify it as a potential gift/talent and perfect it.
What's rewarded on steemit is value and value takes different forms. Even your simple chats in the background on discord or steemit.chat can constitute value and can be rewarded on the outside on steemit.com.
So payouts on post, may not have been payout simple for a blog!
So when you move out there on steemit a next time, move freely! You have no need to lose time staring at the amount on people's post payout OR bothering much about pay out for the future. Everyone on steemit today has earned, for even "learning is the ultimate earning"!
The high-road my family; "the high-road!" Take the high-road! "No highness involved!"
Before i forget: when it comes to votes, the votes of minnows are actually as important. Votes aren't only triggers for payout; votes is also a increase visibility!
Thus, my two winners for the @ceepee contest:
1. @buterdaniel as he his conclusion was: build the excellence of the human, then let's see if rewards won't still look for you, even in the midst of millions (people)
2. @bollutech as he was just down-to-earth and playful in his comment, concluding that: when newer steemians join, older steemians would have become dolphins and old dolphins; whales; "so let the masses join!"
Thanking @samuelwealth @gunneresq @gailbelga @dlina-v-metrah @buterdaniel @idunique @hiroyamagishi @ajremy @greatness96 @pearlumie @phuresh @bollutech for your interaction and participation in community-driven initiatives and ofcourse @ceepee for pulling it off. Winners were tough to choose as everyone was full-blown in their expressions and according to me, just digging and speaking, is "winning".
