They aren't hosting shit. They don't have to pitch this idea to anyone else but the stakeholders, much like the stakeholders that run any corporation are the only ones that make the decisions. They don't have to focus on speculation like increasing steem's valuation in dollars or all such nonsensical airhead ideas. The white paper talks about creating a better economy than Fiat and it's not about extracting rewards but powering up rewards, that's what gives the economy more value. What they have to focus on is to improve the system, which has proven itself through and through, it's not like an unwanted car at all. If you take all the blockchain projects in the world, all their traffic and users and combine them there would still not be Any comparison between them and steem.

Sort:  

Ok, fact check.

How many BTC wallets exist?

It that number comparable to Steem users?

Let's check trading volume,

Bitcoin is counted in tens of billions for BTC and the worst is Cardano, 60 M

And let's check Steem

Hm... Only millions. Not good

The white paper talks about creating a better economy than Fiat and it's not about extracting rewards but powering up rewards

Reference please and equation please?

No. of wallets = correlated with the number of users = correlated with the noise those people create = correlated with the price

Why USD is stable and accepted as universal? Because 5.000.000.000 people know about it and use it.

Would you accept to make a business with Zimbabwe dollars instead?
Why, because nobody has any clue about that currency = it's not stable

problem that steem is solving is all predicated on what crypto is and isn't, and crypto is about removing the financial reins from the bankers

Wait... There is no problem. Banks are working fine. I get my salary on time, I can pay from/to the opposite side of the world, I can plan 30 years ahead. There is no fundamental problem, there are some aspects that could/should/will be improved.

The world is functioning without crypto, keep that in mind.

Can Ripple improve it a bit - yes.
Can we implement crypto in administration - yes
Gain more freedom in trading - yes

Should we replace FIAT with Crypto?
Unless we want a war that would last for 100 years across the globe - no
