One of my main gripes among many with regards stinc/steem/steemit.
Is the 13 weeks to power down, as it makes it impossible to use any stake here to make money on the outside markets.
Ned has powered down, ned has taken his tokens out. I know there is a very set mindset here as to holding or hodling (if you are pissed) though how many of you are angry at yourself for not selling some of your stake at $12 plus SBD or $8 was it? Steem.
If it was an even playing field on here 1 hour power downs would be a perfect solution (in my mind anyway) so we could play the outside market, possibly win big and move back in more steem or SBD than we took out, win win situation for stinc/steem and everyone else. By us then buying more steem or sbd to put in, would this not increase the value of both tokens?.......
I am powering down and never going to stop from now on, I see no reason why ned should be off playing the market with his new .io friends whilst we are all left as the bag holders and gatekeepers, whats good for the goose and all that jazz.
I was once going to invest heavily in here and the main things that stopped me are the above, plus the agree with me as I have a bigger wallet than you mentality, that is now seeing massive censorship arise on here. Agree with my ideology or I will ruin your account, your returns, your investment.
This is not fun to watch and I can only imagine how damaging and upsetting it feels to be on the receiving end of this "abuse"....
No large investors are ever coming here, and I mean EVER due to the ability of people with said mindset being able to wipe away their profit. No large companies, no large pension holders like me, no large investors "full stop"....
Until this place is forked off away from ned and his friends, until this place takes away the ability to flag people down to nothing just because they do not agree with someones ideology, this place is doomed to failure, and will only decrease in size, due to the amount of people being flagged for seemingly "fun"....
I was going to do another SBI giveaway though?.
The idea is flawed in two ways. I was going to do a giveaway to people that have shared the most votes out across the platform over 7 days, it is flawed though as people could just give tiny 1% votes on mass, and it would be pretty much abused.
The second reason why is sbi is a 2 way thing, you get a share, I get a share, we both get upvoted for articles/posts, and as I am close to quitting here due to the former, and sick of expecting it to be "my turn next" to be flagged into oblivion, there seems little to no point in me doing said giveaway ever again, sad but "true.".
@shepz1 is shaking his damn head, and very not amused today, maybe I will feel better later today, maybe not! Have a good day ahead regardless.

Damn definition. : to condemn to a punishment or fate especially : to condemn to hell
Aha! I didnt see this post!
all clear!
Its the STEEM tokens im intereseted in, a social media site is just what it is hahahah, mate its a wallet, with a social medias site attached to it :) not much else!
ok, for a short term investment say under 3-4 years, any crypto apart from btc dosn't exist, and I've already accepted that I might be old and very dam grey when I'd see huge profits from crypto :)
Get ya btc, then get stackitus, and your all set to go! Thinking about getting some gold here as in noway its 25% tax (on silver that I do know)

Man I remember learning about whale flags the hard way. One whale was bullying a guy I knew and flagging all his comments. I made a comment asking said whale to be considerate and not petty. Even threw in a Please and asked him to pardon the victim. Next thing i know my rep goes from 48 to 29. I was so pissed I even sent a memo to ned. Of course, he did not respond.
Since then I just mind my business or speak in discord.
There may still be hope so i'd say don't leave!?!?!?
If you do insist, send some steem my way. Maybe one day I'll use the stake to right some wrongs (more likely to cash out though)

Hey my friend, great post! I've been offline over Christmas and the New Year .. but having just spent the last couple of hours getting up to speed on current events, I can see your point! One of the greatest strengths of the platform (apart from the steem) was the free speech angle, people are hungry for it and it's a business model in itself. When you consider that a lot of flagging is due to ideological reasons and then contemplate the google advertising, we can at least ponder that there is a deeper agenda at play here and that the house is being cleaned up to make it more palatable to outside interests. I haven't carried out a fraction of the research into this that you have .. but its a thought.

Refreshing honesty! Thank you for that. I am so repulsed by all the our steem ship is soon sailing in shit I see on here, I'm also very vocal about it, as well as my complete disregard for steemian etiquette, giving zero farks if I'm flagged or whatever. Disillusionment doesn't come close to describing my short lived existence here. I tried to be hopeful and seek out any rational reason this place was worth investing anything other than toilet time to, I haven't found it.
There are intelligent well intended people here but the majority are either living in fear, delusion, or kiss assery to the highest degree..None of these attributes are attractive to me or any investors etc as you noted.
I have no reason to keep any steem accept maybe 50sp to stick around to watch the tears fall...

You can add in the mix that GTG witness is a friend of dan and neds, they were at the college he sold software to, then blocktrades which is also danthemans friends, and you get the picture about the immovable top 20 witnesses that just agree with every hardfork as I dare say they can not code or even read!
The largest vote is from freedom and that account was created the 31st March the day before alpha testing and is a stinc account as is alpha that runs away with all the bidbot profit.

Precisely, I untangled this easily spotted web of deception a few weeks ago myself after others noticed I was on the rotten stench track and pointed me to this information..
What's striking and how you know you're pushing pertinent buttons is the push back and or complete denial when asking these top 1%ers how they justify their role in this travesty...
This platform quite literally offers nothing but a condensed microcosm of global economics..
That peak of 8 bucks was remarkably short lived, the majority of steems lifespan has been spent at fledgling inconsequential levels that cannot be quantified as ultimately it's worthless in the real world.
But, SF3 !! And smt!! And moon speculation! Pep talk posts, that are self voted and bid botted into trending! Why bc they're desperate for this to work or it was all for nought..

Excellent post. This site would just explode with participation if free speech wasn't squelched. At a minimum the only thing any one person should be able to do is flag a comment. They shouldn't be allowed to flag articles people write, run over to their blog page and flag everything in sight or stalk a person and flag every comment they make out of revenge. (As long as the individual is following the rules of Steemit, abusers of the platform overall is a different subject matter, I am just talking about flagging over free speech issues)

Perhaps it would help if many un-support witnesses who are in favour of flagging.
I have done so, but by myself, nobody notices...
Funny thing is, when I see a flagging and get angry because it is patently unfair, I've been told to mind my own business, which does not work with me and I get angrier...and wait to be flagged, but it does not happen.
I wish someone would explain why - I hate puzzles which do not make sense.

If Steemit had been run correctly - and fairly, it could have grown into a huge platform.
Do you remember the ABBA? They were doing so well that they earned more foreign exchange for Sweden than Volvo did.
Then each of them decided they could have done better as single artists and ABBA died. Even years later, when they saw (or should have seen) their error, none of them would admit to being wrong and they resisted coming back together again.
Purpose of the above? When you have a winning formula - do not mess with it.
What do you bet that one day you will read that Ned is looking for a job or was found among the homeless? People who have an easy success while still young, usually end up losing everything...there are only a few exceptions.

Both bits of news were surprising - yet, why was I not relly surprised?
Instead of thinking of leaving...cut the number of hours, so that you have more time with your daughter. Some day you will remember her at this age and you will miss having her around as a little girl.
A funny thought. I suggested to friends that I start an organisation called "Adopt All Children" as a charity for collecting money to support families who are having their kids taken away from them. Even a small membership fee of $1 a month could soon grow to become useful in helping people with their legal fees. No money for food, though, there already are enough charities for that.
It surprised me when they both said they love the idea and would be happy to join. However, I am still hoping I can start the other project, so will not consider anything else until I give up on it.

Another poster here got into an argument with me. He was touting the crypto currencies as being the tool which will free us of our governments and big business.
He replied with a link, telling me this started n Cape Town and now exists in ninety something countries.
It is not for me, as I would have nothing to offer in return, but I thought, if this exists in Poland, maybe you could 'want' motorbikes needing work and ;offer' vegetables?

Here is a different slant to the question, for your consideration:
Are men more disadvantaged than women in prison?
I doubt the prisons for women, in the UK, are as filled with jihadists and moslems in general, whereas men are in danger from the barbarians.

I was going back and forth with investing a little more in here. I think I'm going to hold off for a while to see what happens. I think that STInc selling their stake is a great thing because it gives them less each time but then at the same time people keep feeding freedom and associated accounts with massive amounts of SBD and Steem.
It may be difficult for you to do so but how about stick around and post but try to be less observant of those others that are benefiting from the ponzi. I would miss your perspective around here! Plus there's lots of great posts on here that get censored elsewhere.

I can really understand you.
But there are already idea around such as flag mana.. So you can also flag and delegate your flag Power without vp being influenced.
Then people could collectively organized Whale Spammers and flaggers.
And there are more ideas around.
And yea.. Stinc - I also wrote about a community fork..
But there are no resources for a Community fork.
And with SMTs and tokens, or community coded alternatives you can do great things with the steem ecosystem and blockchain.
