Yes here they are: And I say play ball on a fork, why the heck not. I setup and ran a forum for a time that just provided rewards based on activity - amazing how things change when real money gets involved.

This site is well rooted at this point, so it will always have traffic going forward. Narrative is a new competitor I have yet to look into (not even sure when they're launching) but the economics seem

Well in a way it appears to be in the DNA. It is right there in black and white. And I would say something like, "well that was before the trending page looked like an early version of 4chan",

I hadn't read the papers but just started doing so. Its funny, how everything sounds so well-devised, and then you show up here and its like Mad Max: Beyond the Thunderdome. Clearly, abuse of the system

And PS - you're doing the right thing - I always tell people looking for strategies: look for the stuff that doesn't seem "easy". Reputable research. Numbers. Scholarly papers. You will get more

It depends. Goldman is largely a market maker - they get called out on things like this because their research division says one thing while their investment div. does another. Two separate units. I think

That's fine. I'm not sure what can be done about it though because everything layered on top of this system ultimately won't change the root. Sure throw some ideas for comm. here but I still don't want

I'm new here - was ready to leave yesterday because of this type of nonsense but thought it would be fun to use my brain here instead. I wrote a post you would probably appreciate (seriously, not a spam

Agreed - social media experiment: this much it definitely is. And you also bring up a good point about spotlights and replacing the whole business model. Now we're getting somewhere. And that's the thing.

A lot of this can be plotted via an external prog. Hilbert Sine Wave is among the most popular. It, like anything else has its ups and downs. Check out Sierra Charts. only mainstream platform I know of

No you can't just copy paste and stop saying everything is BS - I mean, what's the matter with you - don't talk to people like that. Be constructive, not sloppy. Its fine that we disagree. Nothing wrong

Thanks for the comment and I get your first point, but these should be labeled as ads and obviously not so many of them. Right now they dominate everything in their path. There is a promoted section here

So there are 3 primary models that have been used to value a bitcoin: Network-based (like this) Production-based (where you dig into the cost as you mentioned - see Adam Hayes) - the largest issue with

It took me 2 years just to find any moderate traction with my blog. Up to that point it was a tiny group of cult-like followers just reading my stuff...so you gotta be kidding me. I thought I would get

That wasn’t the one but the list was he same - posted by a 1%er sometime last week. Thank you for the comment and yep, if this was a country there would have been a revolution already. It’s more like your

Thank you and yes, I'm not exactly the camera-loving type which is why I spend much of my life under fluorescent lights and in front of monitors. Video is not an easy medium for me. As you know, economic

Thanks again. I hope so too. Regardless, the bots and power mechanisms here are noxious. They throw acid on quality authors striving to succeed, and in the most direct way possible. As long as they exist

I respect that and thank you for commenting.

I just joined Steemit last week. I have had a financial blog for roughly 8 years now and racked up an email list of approximately 70,000. I posted 6 short "test" pieces just to see how the platform

Just thought of another very important thing: email updates. This site does not have a native system for doing so. My traffic explodes every time I shoot out an email blast. Dwarfs when I share on social
