RE: Where does the money come from? A look into the economics of Steem.

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

I see STEEMIT in the future, in addition to the above as one of the biggest platforms to raise funds for charity. In the world there are hundreds of large charitable organizations : Feed the Children, Music For Relief, Partners In Health, American Cancer Society, Stichting INGKA Foundation. As well as thousands of small. Animal shelters, groups social assistance, targeted assistance, aid to the homeless, private fees. In charity a part of hundreds of millions of people in the world.

And other Crowdfunding.

But there are all these sites one big drawback, microtransactions between the participants of these sites is ill-conceived, it's uncomfortable.

Microtransactions between users in STEEMIT are part of the whole system. Therefore, it can really compete with Kickstarter with their 140 million dollars a year.

To attract charity tried and Facebook, but again, micro-transactions between participants of these sites is ill-conceived, it's uncomfortable. STEEMIT will leave behind him.

The parish charities in STEEMIT will bring millions of people.
Also, the device STEEM POWER will cause the funds not to withdraw funds and leave them in the account. And it is possible to support users to directly UPVOTE their requests for help via hashtags.

Sort:  

Unfortunately my initiative to attract charities and philanthropy development at STEEMIT are not supported. People do not understand that the parish charity/crowdfunding organizations on STEEMIT. If they declare it officially. Will force millions of people to come to STEEMIT

I think many are very interested in supporting charitable projects through Steemit. It's not that your idea isn't well-received, or hasn't been considered before, it's that we are early in the game. I think we'll see focused charitable groups pop up to support various causes. We need to move beyond the growing pains of only voting for 'steemit content' and start creating a community.

As an example, see my new initiative for the fiction author community:#descriptionsonthespot.

I think these types of focused communities take time to grow, but this is a natural outlet of how to utilize the Steem blockchain.

you're jumping to conclusions too quick, getting discouraged at a first attempt.

there are others who are attempting to use the platform for the same purposes of charitable fundraising - and who were doing so even before you showed up.

while your initial proposals may have not gathered an immediate huge support, this is no reason to say they aren't supported. if it's an idea you're firmly committed to, it may take several attempts with various strategies to find one that really catches.

there's also MUCH development to be done beyond just the concept, in regards to how such an idea could be executed technically through integrated blockchain apps - as I'd proposed in this.

also, it's likely your message is not fully getting translated due to the language difference. i.e. "People do not understand that the parish charity/crowdfunding organizations on STEEMIT" is incorrect English - just as the "will force millions of people..." is not the correct language to inspire support. LITTLE distinctions - but such go a long ways in garnering cooperation and effectively communicating an idea.

keep experimenting. your ideas - which aren't really "yours," but a shared vision, which you are but one participant in helping bring to light - will occur in due time. we're still very early on in the game...

The funds also may decide to transfer part of their funds in STEEM POWER, to support the users directly when they apply through hashtags.
