How about the fact it is a name people can relate to? Most people know steem is the blockchain and steemit is the website build on the chain :P But do you consider the fact that people outside of the crypto world could visit the site and not know what steem is. But they can visist steemit.com you can not visist steem blockchain?
You see for every logic there is a counter logic. I wonder what the big deal is? It is a name. Brother could have called it hoegaboegagames for all he cares. He picked a name but that people act the way they do is retarded. There is absolutely no reason what so ever to make a comment like @transistor did.
I'm not sure reacting like this is the best choice of action for you guys. @transisto was trying to help (with some added exclamation marks to point out the marks you have in your title, I guess).
When people correct your writing/make suggestions, I would advise you to take it into consideration or politely decline, don't rant out about moral differences and accusations.
Other than that, the project seems interesting! Thanks for being honest about the browser mining.
Respect goes both ways @robinron. If you read everything you can see i politly answer everyone. And i have respect if people are respectfull. But commenting like that should not be threated with respect or considuration.
Steemit is not the only way to interact with steem. There is busy and partiko and so on. We need to view blockchains as a database so we can help people understand where they are placing their trust.
If I am too deep for you then I'm sorry. That is no reason to attack someone if their bud is better than yours.
Real world adoption will take more than vote bots and upvote trinkets. That is why I support this interaction and look forward to seeing this project grow. All blockchain ecosystems have a long way to grow.
