Have you guys seen this epicenter video?
I watch the epicenter videos quite regularly. I was surprised at how:
- uninformed these guys were about steem in general
- the negative and biased questions that were asked
I have never seen such interrogative video on this channel. I can't seem to understand where all this steem hate is coming from. It is a little odd to me, almost like people are hiding something. Seriously how come these guys in their "research" did not even open an account and tried out the platform.
For me personally we are all in the same boat or at least in the same industry. It is totally ok to ask the hard questions, but I just felt that it was taken way too far in this instance.
That said, I think Ned had a little bit of hard time in this one and was a bit defensive. Some of his answers were a bit complicated and evasive as well.
I was all excited to see Ned on this podcast and then the whole thing turned out to be something like a police interrogation. I can't help to notice that so many bitcoiners are making fun of and ridiculing this platform. Andreas Antonopoulos the other day made fun of steem and called it "sounds scummy". There are ethereum panels about proof of stake, where all kinds of protocols are discussed but DPOS is omitted.
To me steem is a bit of an elephant in the room.
- It is the most performant blockchain I am aware of with:
- free transactions
- 3 second blocks
- a stable currency
- and a true mainstream application that is used every day by pretty girls
I do not understand why these facts are not celebrated. Why are crypto guys still posting on medium?
Although it was mentioned that steem had been successful, none of the above was mentioned in the podcast. And especially the host did not really care to actually understand what steem was all about.
I do not know what happened in the beginning of steem, but is concentration of wealth not common and standard in all cryptocurrencies. Why is this such an issue?
I don't get it.
