Thank You Again Everyone

I am proud to host this contest for everyone to participate in the name of blockchain interaction, without all of you and your questions there would be no reason to do so! For this weeks contest I am trying something new @steembasicincome with SBI shares as prizes, let me know what you think?


Only One Rule!!!

  1. Ask your question using the @Partiko Mobile App all others do not qualify for entry.
  • Upvote & Resteem greatly appreciated for visibility but not mandatory.
  • One question per person, only your first question will be considered.
  • May include finer details for specification of my answer.

The more difficult/insightful/inspirational of a question the better your chances of winning(possibly the longer it will take me to answer also, please be patient) which will be decided 5 days from posting. I will upvote and reply to all qualifying questions as soon as I can and possibly not in order.

Each week I will post a DTube video announcing the winners and answering the top 3 questions with shoutouts for those contestants then restarting the weekly contest with another Partiko post.

Partiko Mobile App - Simply Beautiful Steem

I love the Partiko Mobile App for two simple reasons, function and appeal. It works as it should with speed and looks great while adding its own level of gamification to interaction through in-app points collection plus redemptions for perks.

Congratulations to all the "Dragging you up with me" contest winners. @d00k13 you're awesome.

This weeks question is:

If I create a dTube snap, can I add photos in the body of the post?

Posted using Partiko Android

Yup you can add links into the basic body on DTube and they will be clickable but will not load on the d.tube viewer only on Steemit side which will load like normal. If your wanting to create a complete steemit post with markdown you can place that under advanced and that will be viewable from steemit while the basic remains on DTube.

After the fact edits should be done from DTube for the basic to change the DTube viewed post but if you wish to change just the Steemit that can be edited from either DTube under advanced assuming you filled that part or just from Steemit.

As for if it’s allowed, I don’t see why not as it helps to add context to the snap in most cases it’s just a matter of markdown not being usable on DTube.

Cool, I'll try it on my next dtubesnapplus. 👍👍

Do you think we should be able to downvote witnesses like we can downvote posts?

Posted using Partiko Android

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

Honestly I don’t know how that would work out, I would much rather see a true democratic vote system where 1 vote is equal to 1 vote but that has its fallbacks with multiple account holders and larger accounts now able to claim accounts with resource tokens. I figure it would be a waist of a vote downvoting a witness as we only have 30 I would imagine very few would use it and it could be used as censorship by someone loading a dummy account. If it was a one for one democratic system we could force further account verification so that someone would be less likely to manipulate the system and give power back to the people rather then an investment bases system like currently where the top20 is mostly decided by a few major SP holders that are largely unverified accounts.

Partiko is my favorite app and I am able to collecting a lot of Partiko tokens.
Will we have the possibility to covert our tokens like SMT in the next future or will we have only the already present "redeem"?

Thank you very much @d00k13 for the third Place!😉✌️

Congratulations, @moncia90: you're doing really well! 👍

Posted using Partiko Android

She most definitely is, very precise questions searching for valuable informations.

Posted using Partiko iOS

Yes as I just read in the @Partiko Delegation Plan post we will be able to redeem points for SMT when it finally launches.

Great question and your quite welcome for the win, thank you for following the rules and participating 🙏

How was each color decided? E.g. the sky is blue why not green or yellow

Posted using Partiko Android

justathought ... you are told a rose is reds ... but if you are red/green color blind you dont see what i see ... so are you sure that what i see as reds is what everyone sees as reds ... ???

Exactly so who made the decision what a color should be called

Posted using Partiko Android

If I was to answer specifically who as a speculation I would say it relates to the fact that we had many cultures all over the world creating similar structures that today we cannot fathom the scale of construction necessary with the tools available which were also cultures that had no contact with each other supposedly.

Most of these cultures say they were taught by “star people” or spoke with “the stars” including cultivation, sciences, written and spoken language which are some of the base languages today’s names for colours are derived from.

So I would say the teachers were the ones who named the early base colours being very similar across all languages.

Posted using Partiko iOS

Unless seeing a lack of colour many people whom are colour blind go their entire lives without knowing. It’s the mixing of colours that stands out as certain colour mixtures seem to come up with improbable results and the colours of the rainbow seem to not follow a smooth pattern.

Posted using Partiko iOS

It is something that was seemingly developed simultaneously by many different cultures around the world in generally the same pattern known as the hierarchy of colour names.

Resent research suggest the hierarchy of colour matches our reaction to said colour frequencies thus those with a stronger reaction were named earlier.

As for who precisely chose the name for each colour it seems as if it was a collaboration of evolution in languages with simple mass preference which determined the outcome of the colours name along side the original words meanings.

Quote from the link above as example

“Black derives from words invariably meaning the color black, as well as dark, ink and "to burn."

Originally meaning, burning, blazing, glowing and shining, in PIE it was *bhleg. This was changed to *blakkaz in Proto-Germanic, to blaken in Dutch and blaec, in Old English. This last word, blaec, also meant ink, as did blak (Old Saxon) and black (Swedish).

The color was called blach in Old High German and written blaec in Old English. One final meaning, dark (also blaec in Old English) derived from the Old Norse blakkr.”

Basically blacks original use was to blacken or to burn but also was the name used for ink by olde English times but today it still holds relation to the common colour of ink and the results of burning. The curious part is that through most various cultures they all seem to start with similar linguistic sounds despite being completely different languages, colour was already a universal language of sorts and origins of specifically whom decided the name are lost to time.

With the current downtrend of the crypto market. Do you think that there are people who are manipulating it?

Posted using Partiko iOS

I’d say everyone is manipulating it but there are a few that have a large influence on he markets dumping. All of us holding off buying to see how low it will go before investing are essentially manipulating the markets. The big one that influenced the last bull run demise was MT. Gox with their massive sell offs for the sake of paying back lost value during their hack. After the fact of large players all of us little guys just add to the volatility of the movements by trying to capitalize at every turn. Some would assume there is a bit of market psychology that comes into play and many could manipulate that very simply with FUD and HYPE.

Posted using Partiko iOS

Wow, thank you so much fo answering my question! I just hope that it won't dip too low hahaha. Anyway, Have a great day sir!
Steem ON!

Honestly the lower it goes the better opportunity to invest the question is really what is to low for the miners to run the network. Many small mining operations are already closing their doors but the larger ones are set to endure a few years of no profits 😉

Do you think my router looks like a spaceship?

Posted using Partiko Android

Lmao that most certainly does look out of this world!

My question to you would be which was does it fly? I’m thinking the lights would be at the front?

Posted using Partiko iOS

Yes. The lights are in front and its currently just in a docking station to recharge the batteries :p

Posted using Partiko Android

Dang battery powered spaceship, I think we would have moved away from anything so unsustainable by that point 😂

Posted using Partiko iOS

Me2 man me2 man. Hahaha. Dang battery!

Posted using Partiko Android

thats not a Jetsons car ... is it ...???

Hahaha :D

Posted using Partiko Android

I thought it looked like a spaceship from one of the shows I was watching recently... maybe it was a movie.... the name is evading me

Would you rather take a 50% chance of winning $100 million, or a 99% chance of winning $1 million?

Posted using Partiko Android

I would definitely choose a 99% chance at a million as with that I could make 100 million in no time with appropriate investments, I’d probably dump 50% straight into Steem particularly in helping the mobile adoption of DTube.

I always take the higher probability vs the higher reward, call me a safe gambler 😉

Posted using Partiko iOS

good that for sure 1 million for me it is enough .

Yea man people underestimate probability 👍

i expect the right answer ...
if life started if Africa .... when did all the peoples native to the Americas come from ... ???
you can not say from the Bering Strait because explain why they are not Chinese decent and South Americans are from where if you use the Straight ...
P.S. ... just askin to any person with DNA tests from South America - does all the people with DNA tests show you are from Africa ...???
justaskin ...

I personally go back to the ancient alien origin story’s to explain this, we obviously have a huge chunk of lost history and the evolution of man has been speculated upon many times. I don’t think we will ever have a definitive answer yet DNA does show we all carry the same ancestors.

Is there really something after death? Or we just stop existing

that is easy .All stopping 100%

If you consider that when you pass there is a measurable amount of weight that leaves your body it would imply there is something past this existence but we may never know while still living.

Posted using Partiko iOS

Hello friend, well that the "soul" weighs and when the body dies it weighs less since the soul abandons it is a pretty refuted myth hehehe

Only on the bases that the soul is regarded to have mass which would imply something physical to leave the body, there has never been ample tests to prove or disprove the theory.

What I suggest is if we believe the soul is energy by nature it does not have mass but may effect weight in the same way as magnetic charge creating attraction. Thus assuming the unmeasurable force of gravity is more a large field of electromagnetism we cannot detect because we are also surrounded by it with all mater within the worlds atmosphere the added energy of the soul is just enough to create a measurable effect on weight.

this dont count ... maybe me best though ...
if the Dr. tells you ... well your numbers say it is NOT gout and you do not have arthritis so we dont know what it is so we call it pseudo gout because we dont know what it is ...??? what ??? is this 1918 or 2018 and will it be called consumption before long ... ??? it is 2018 so please dont say "we dont know what it is" ...

Basically gout and pseudo gout are the same ailment with different crystals found in and around the joint causing similar inflammation and arthritis. Both of which are deeply related to aging and the hormone effects on calcium metabolism.

Posted using Partiko iOS

but i can eat SUGAR with pseudo gout ... lol

What do you think of the Anthropogenic Global Warming hypothesis? What, if anything, are you doing to reduce your carbon footprint?

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

This highlights my thoughts pretty well

Basically I see a lot of speculation and biased proofs being presented as fact when only really propping up their own narrative.

Now I do believe it is something we should be aware of and myself practice things to try reduce waist for sustainability not focused on carbon footprint per say.

  • We refuse to through out food, we have a dog that will eat just about anything after a little preparation which saves on dog food bills.
  • Lately we have stopped buying packaged things as much as possible and when affordable choose organically grown fresh items.
  • We have material reusable shopping bags.
  • I drive for a living and between deliveries I sit where I am to reduce gas waist.
  • We use LED lighting everywhere possible.
  • When faced with a choice of make or buy we choose make such as right now my fiancé is making play dough for our friends kids to have a distraction while we help them move next weekend.

An article Scientific American described how US Democrats and Republicans make different scientific errors. Democrats were inclined towards errors of commission: raising concerns about nonexistent problems while Republicans commit errors of omission: denying the existence of problems. Climate change is an example of this dichotomy: the current Narcissist-in-Chief is an emphatic climate denier while Democrats seem united by acceptance of climate change. This can be easily explained by political inclinations. To overgeneralize a bit, Democrats favor expansion of the government and Republicans want to reduce it. The cures for their scientific errors require solutions to which they are predisposed.

To see an example of this, the NOVA episode "Decoding the Weather Machine" (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/decoding-the-weather-machine/) has in its beginning a meteorologist from a conservative congregation. He found that his congregation's political beliefs prevent them from accepting the science of climate change.

You just planted 0.08 tree(s)!

Can God create a heavy thing more than he can carry @d00k13?

Where is God before he created heaven and earth?

Why I am still alive despite in being a dialysis patient for 16 years?

Not any god all are created for be more peace and people not killed more then now.

I would say yes god can create limitations to his own power so an object which is immovable by himself is possible but the real question is would he?

God would have been everything before creating heaven and earth, thinking of the Big Bang theory all matter crammed into one time space.

You are still alive because your purpose is not yet served what ever that may be, as I am alive despite all the close encounters maybe Steemit is my purpose and yours also?

What is the voting algorithm of @Dtube?

From my understanding it is not algorithm based but a team of curators whom choose the most active posts and highest quality videos thus having a strong set of followers whom interact with you regularly and creating the best work you can is your best bet for regular votes.

Posted using Partiko iOS

Okay, I knew that there is no algorithm hahaha.

But this information that you are giving me is very useful, since it helps me to see what I am doing wrong. thank you

Your welcome and thank you for participating, may you have good luck on your creations receiving many DTube votes 💪

What do you think will be the future of Steemit?

We will evolve into an all encompassing power of social and financial freedom taking over many of the media consumption sites such as YouTube or Facebook as with incentivized activities and growing distrust of financial institutions people will finally understand crypto is a license to print your own money therefor content creation is a means to true financial freedom.
