Long Overdue Update On Everything

uwelang (74) · 6 years ago

@stellabelle - I think it is extremely important to do what you want to do and what your instinct tells you - as someone below already commented you do not need to justify no matter if people ask you.

I have seen video messages by KE which sounded convincing - think she is an awesome developer of new visions! However - not all is clear to me - please realise I am male, I am German and I come from a sales & marketing background and it takes time to convince me - why is that? Hit me on DM - I have learned a lot about similar models so i tend to be careful to protect my own community.

I personally admire you for what you do here even I did bombard you with questions which is my attitude to get around new things :-) (not happening anymore as I think I found someone that is capable to answer the important things - will update you soon on that). I usually have to get answers before I buy-in for anything. Scams can happen - Enthusiasm is great - due dilligence before that more important. People knowing me are aware that I try to take care of my community by checking a lot questions before telling them about a new fantastic thing, I usually ignore any hype even by good friends but focus on facts and due diligence before I join that. Sounds boring and negative - maybe but in my view more important as jumping on unknown trains.

Hope all will become real as you anticipate @stellabelle! You just have to understand people will ask questions simply based on the below sentence which I agree on I have to admit - what is the message behind this or the intention?

"She has told me that indeed she is not creating ONO for the money."

Hi @stellabelle! I have a friend (maybe you know each other @mammasitta) who has told me about ONO. I must accept that I still do not fully understand what ONO is going to be, nor am I sure how to become a volunteer, but I am sure I want to join.

As you say, I have not come to ONO by myself, it simply appeared because @mammasitta also came to me; I could only be in the right place and time.

For a long time, I follow you here on Steemit, but I do not know why I always felt that I could not fully adhere to your themes, however ONO (without knowing it well) I feel it close to me.

I hope and I will find a way to join you. I do not know about programming and little about numbers, but as @mammasitta knows, humanity is my greatest vocation and I feel that there is going to be a lot of that in ONO.

Have a nice day! :D

The story really shows the willpower some people have in wanting to change the world. While no one would ever like to think of it at the time. It was for the best that people kept telling him to “drop the dream” as I can only imagen that put even more fire under him to want to be part of a better place. To many corporations out there just suck the souls out of people and take them for everything they can.

Nothing worse than being an idealist being taken advantage of by a business when they can make them think there ideas are going change the world. When in fact, they are changing it just not how they wanted it to happen. Certain types of people have to extra careful with whom they share their ideas with. People these days just use and toss others aside like a candy wrapper. History has show us this happening a few times.

Whenever I make decisions or life choices I never consider what other's will think of me, I just decide what is good or right for me so that when I make a decision I will be better informed to help others if need be. I think as cliche' as it sounds, it is true: "follow your heart". I don't really know what ONO is, but if it is a type of steemit site, I'd love to know more. I have been blown away that a site like Steemit can even exist and it has made me and a few other artists I speak with regularly feel how important this type of environment and online world is for and to the arts.
How can the common person get involved?

You don't need to justify what you do or who you do it with.

I do since I was criticized. I want people to understand the truth, not believe rumors.

bashadow (65) · 6 years ago

Looking over the white paper, I think we need more social settings than just the few we have now, most of the current ones are not to my liking, that is why I was absent from online social media for so long until my wife told me about steemit, which I like, a lot. So another potential view makes sense to take a look. I did not like the Solo system, and have been waiting to see what Dan and EOS do, but in the meantime, nothing stays the same, there is and always has been change.

gloeze (54) · 6 years ago

Thank you for this post, I will definitely read the ONO white paper @stellabelle. It is good to follow your guts, people will always judge you but when you turn out successful in that thing they run to you for guidiance. That is the world we are in.

I think we are all free to make our decisions, explaining the reason behind your actions won't change people's opinion. So, why bothered?

I think human beings are wired that way, we judge intentions not the actions or even the motive behind the actions.
When a loved person did something wrong, we give reasons to cover him up, but let the unloved one repeat the same thing, the whole world will hear about him.
Ever since I know you through @alexandravart, you have always been somebody of your word. I love people of such quality

Go ahead with your intentions and actions if you are good with it.

ONO's White Paper is 75 pages long and took the ONO team 5 months to write. Of course it has a White Paper.

personz (66) · 6 years ago

Interesting to hear an update about your involvement, I've heard more than one person disparage your involvement "shilling" ONO, and to be honest I didn't know much about it or your involvement.

People who are "all in" on Steem are going to be hostile to a competitor, which ONO clearly is, and not only that it's on the platform that the former lead dev of Steem created, there's clearly a bit of shade still there. So not hard to connect the dots.

It looks cool, and I'm not a Steem maximalist, we have to be pragmatic. I'm still not sure about EOS and how the platform is going to develop when it gets battle tested but I'm interested and following things. I wish you good luck with your involvement in ONO.

I should say one thing about the idealism. In my experience it's never the whole story. "Making the world a better place" more often that not turns out to be spin. There are idealists for real, you're one, but ask yourself what are you hoping to get out of it? What are they hoping to get out of it? Being honest with this question is so important, it's easy to hand wave away the hard truth here.

I would caution your trust of anyone (a n y o n e) and like any investment, and everyone is super fond of saying this, don't invest more than you can afford to lose. That goes for your time too, and the time you put into ONO. You know this, I just say it to say it.

Also, what happened to ERA, the users, team and investors? Did people get burned or did it land and dissolve gently?

Keep us updated! The journey will be interesting no matter what happens.

I really love your thought about life and about any project you embarked on. ONO is really meant to meet the needs of many as the needs of human being come first.

Many people are out there to criticise fulfilling project like ONO but it takes someone that really knew where he/she is going to not to be distracted.

I really commend your efforts on this project @stellabelle

Have not seen your post for a while. Was wondering what you have been up to these days. Thanks for letting us know about ONO will certainly try it out. Great to know that such smart and not money driven people are behind this project.

By the way, @stellabelle I invite you to try our completely free mobile app called SteemApp for Steemians. We are also not money driven. Just want to make an app that people will enjoy to use. We are constantly working on improvements and new features. If you like what we are doing for Steemit please consider woting for our team as witness @yuriks2000. Looking forward for your feedback.
