Just something to think about for all the 🐝 ballers. The silver standard while leaving plenty to the imagination is clearly doing it's tandem dance with the big dog. For years we've heard about the ETH killer but nothing has come to fruition as of yet.
It's absolutely possible some breakthrough we're not seeing yet will manifest but the longer it takes the more the masses adopt into crypto and regardless of lackluster use cases or inflationary models it becomes less likely a project can dislodge ETH.
IMHO revolutionary projects like the just launched Wise coin, which utilises the Ethereum chain are very promising and forging ahead to offer the little guy some potentially solid gains in the very near future.
I still love the idea of a monetized, censorship resistant platform but it seems dpos has some ideologically unsound or unappealing foundations that are either not suitable for mass adoption or just to daunting for newbs to fool with.
I needed a hiver to assist me in locating my engine tokens I'd completely forgotten about, and when I did get on hive engine with my droid it was still a complete disaster. I'm not trying to just talk smack but a dose of reality is needed in this instance. Navigating that index is the worst online experience I've ever had. If after all this time that's still acceptable there's a major issue. The idea is great the methodology is atrocious. By wisely getting rid of all my liquid hive/steem/eng tokens I made serious risk free gains and as one of the few success stories here I think it's worth listening to my ramblings. It was a fluke and can never happen again, lightning will not strike twice. Since I'm a rationalist and pragmatist I never dreamt of holding or staking what turned into actual assets on some obscure corner of the crypto sphere.
It took me all of 4 posts to totally shit on this place and I swear I'm not just motivated by being the antagonist. I would love to be able to tell people they can do what I did but they can't. It would be amazing if I could tell friends and family to onboard here and buy 10,000 hive instead of going full FOMO on the bull run that is wholly missing this chain, but that's ludicrous! By far buying 1 ETH at its ATH is a better investment than being a bumble bee or whatever nomenclature exists in the classism that chokes the life out of this platform. Hell I came up 40 USD in BTC with scrap tokens just last night and since I'm desperate I suffered through that heinous process but it can't be repeated. And I'm absolutely the anomaly.
Tell me how wrong I am, I'd like to hear how and why stakeholders still cling to fantasy. Maybe it's just not a focus and this is just a distraction and first world problems aren't conducive to actually building a legitimate enterprise here? 🤐🙄🤕
Sure this might burn a bit, but after a long absence the redeeming attributes here are still the dozen or so folks that can handle my blunt force musings. It's not the trip to the moon I assure all.
