RE: Why Everyone Needs to WAKE UP Right NOW
They are similar, the main difference is that Ponzi schemes rely on the promise of returns on investments (while being paid out by future investors) where pyramid schemes rely on getting new…

RE: Waiting for my account to be nullified.
At this stage, I don't see how anyone can trust, even these blockchain systems that claim to be "censorship resistant", as anything more than free hosting. Let's think in simple terms, if instead…

RE: Why Everyone Needs to WAKE UP Right NOW
Closer to a ponzi scheme, but not far off either way. I think my record was around 1$, unless you count giveaways then 2.50$ Best to treat the platform as a free blog host and not even think…

RE: Daily Steem Stats Report - Friday, April 3, 2020
We gotta congratulate Sun for this one, it takes a real champ to cause such a drastic drop in user interaction. Half the posts and 15k users gone within a couple months, at a time when everyone…

RE: We are Making Good Progress
That's part of why I joined, to have a blog and as a bonus if what I had to say garnered interest, could maybe make a few dollars. It quickly shifted to more like the score on a video game. The…

RE: This is called the HIVE AirDrop Exclusion List. (HIVE 에어드랍 제외 대상 목록이라고 합니다.)
Well, yes, copying physical money is illegal, but when you get into reserve banking, only about 10% of the money is physically printed, so, the effect would be the same, so, copying the account and…

RE: Retiring my Steem Witness
That's been typical since I joined, the management / owners have consistently made the wrong choices (the profitable choices, but damaging long term).

In a sense, yes, the problem is if you double the number of 'coins' you devalue each coin by half.

RE: This is called the HIVE AirDrop Exclusion List. (HIVE 에어드랍 제외 대상 목록이라고 합니다.)
This one raises one of the major concerns I was thinking when the Hive split off; they claimed that they were going to maintain the 'account' on the new servers. Let's think about that for a…

And just to highlight the 'value' of cryptocurrency investments; you can duplicate your account on Hive and double your investment.

While I personally believe that the platform has (overall) been so poorly implemented, with decisions made to benefit the whales most at the expense of minnows near exclusively, I believe that the…

RE: haha, steeemit is censoring my posts
Oh yes, and if cryptocurrencies were treated as securities, the entire group of owners would be facing 10-20 years.

RE: An Open Letter to the Community - HF22.5
There's clearly some criminal behavior all around; between the owners, witnesses, and exchanges. We are probably talking SEC charges that would put many of them away for 10-20 years IF this wasn't…

RE: An Open Letter to the Community - HF22.5
Which would conclude the prediction I made about 2 years ago; steem/steemit/dapps were structured in the same way that a ponzi scheme is structured. Start with an idea; get investors in on the…

You must have joined quite recently. This platform has been in shambles for years. The people who could make a difference were making too much money to care; why worry about advertisement when…

RE: God Hive the Steem!
True, things will get more fuzzy when you are talking about migrating people's accounts, the issues surrounding TOS's (a person who signed up with steemit has a contract with steemit, NOT hive), and…

It does appear that the shift will not simply be taking code, but also accounts and content. In spite of all available optimism, I do hope that the people who committed to this have discussed any…

RE: Hive: Sometimes A Step Back Is Needed To Move Forward
Absolutely. I had recognized that steem is organized similar to a ponzi scheme; the platform gains value based on future investors (users, witnesses, investors, etc). This power struggle appears…
