Announcing the Delegation Committee

in committee •  5 years ago  (edited)

Steemit INC is a centralized business and their stake is theirs.

I understand that part. I was merely pointing out the slight conflict of interest. @aggroed has contributed a lot to our ecosystem, no doubt about it.

It just seems odd to have him participate in the figurative executive, legislative, and judicial branch all at the same time.

I'm sure we will be fine, though. This place needs strong leaders to lead it out of the bear.

    Aggroed is just a beast TBH. He steps up and takes on responsibly like a champion. Hats off to him.

    I can no longer tell the difference between that, willful ignorance, or he's been invited into the STINC inner circle.

    Yes, let's place more conspiracy nuts into power positions. What a great idea.

    Oh, Christ...he's a conspiracy nut too? Like a flat-earther, or just a run-of-the-mill conspiracy theorist?

          He said so himself in a recent post.

          https://steemit.com/palnet/@aggroed/vacation

          You could bet that money, but we've met more than once. So you would lose the bet.

          Oh, I've been here since 2016. My investment in steem turned out just fine :) I've been around for the run from $0.07 to $7.

              Why am I whining? Because I don't think a conspiracy loving crackpot is a good candidate for a position of authority in any organization. I think it reflects poorly on steemit Inc, and could (should) inhibit growth.

              And I will voice that opinion if I want. Presumably with out the fear of 'censorship' assuming that people aren't hypocrites in their want for freedoms from censorship.

              It doesn't matter to me what you believe.

                I mean, OK. He's in the legislative branch. True. Now he's in the judicial. Also true. Executive, not really. However, do you have anyone else you think would be a better fit? He or she must possess the following attributes:

                1. have contributed largely to the ecosystem on steem in a positive and sustainable way
                2. have contributed largely to the social aspect on steem in a positive and sustainable way
                3. have invested their own time/money/resources/efforts/ideas to the growth of the blockchain, with measurable results
                4. have some exceptional ability to understand the genius it requires to succeed on here, enough to actually succeed on here.

                Is there politics here? Meh. Sure. There ALWAYS IS! But I'm telling you, I'd rather have him deciding who gets what for the mere fact that he knows what looks like it will work and what won't. We're not here to waste resources. I don't think this is a bad decision. But I guess we'll find out, won't we?

                How about you try and give me other names. And we'll debate it.

                I guess by your criteria, not even the people who were in the Working Groups of the Foundation would qualify.

                But, that's besides the point. Like you said, we wait and see.

                  I don't know who was in the working groups, and I'm sure they qualify more than anyone else. But I do think the criteria above can't hurt. I think if you're going to be going around delegating buttloads of SP, you oughta have at least some business acumen, and something to show for your dedication and personal investment.

                  In this case, sunk cost is a motivator....bias or not.
