Investors vs. Vested Stakeholders.
Lately many have been talking about Investors. But they are not all equal. Ever watch Sharktank?
There are personal investors who are investing their own money in order to get money out.
Haejin is a perfect example of a personal investor who is not here to grow the project. (assuming he owns ranchorelaxo, which I don't know for sure)
When I think of attracting investors, I picture people who put money in that they don't need right away and they put in time, knowledge, money, contacts in order to build a project up. They do not immediately try to capture the most resources for themselves, draining the project of needed revenue.
Crypto Traders can hold tokens, and some of you call them investors and I guess technically they are, but I wouldn't call them investors in Steem.
In the conversations about who we want to attract, I think we want people who want to help build the project, the user base and the overall health of building something that will pay for years to come. Most desirable, those who have worked on building social media projects would be nice.
While I don't think people have a moral obligation to work on building Steem's economy, there are many with money in Steem that I choke on the word Investor.
I guess, I am not really going anywhere with this, but it is pretty obvious who is here and engaging, trying to build something and also holding and there are many who are just looking to take as much out as they can and hope other people's effort will keep things afloat.
For me this is not a right or a wrong issue. (moral vs. immoral) it is more about desirable and undesirable.
