it was a sarcastic name, i liked it

2018-08-15 13:01:59 UTC  

Guys, if you create a Patreon like service, or know someone who knows someone, name it after a Greek god of partying.

2018-08-15 13:02:04 UTC  

Name your Patreon "Dionysus"

2018-08-15 13:02:11 UTC  

Just give it a name that can mean anything you want.

2018-08-15 13:02:23 UTC  

That's why Ray Croc took over McDonald's.

2018-08-15 13:02:55 UTC  

Do not call it an inside joke

2018-08-15 13:03:18 UTC  

"We call it Hatreon because some thinkpiece said that Patreon should be called Hatreon when calling for it to get rid of Lauren Southern!!"

2018-08-15 13:03:21 UTC  

"We're so funny."

2018-08-15 13:03:51 UTC  

Isn't that company just a middleman for Stripe?

2018-08-15 13:04:01 UTC  

Like they aren't a financial institution themselves.

2018-08-15 13:04:02 UTC  

Stripe wasn't always part of it.

2018-08-15 13:04:07 UTC  

" All of these websites read and write content to the Steem blockchain, which stores the content in an immutable blockchain ledger, and rewards users for their contributions with digital tokens called STEEM. Every day, the Steem blockchain mints new STEEM tokens and adds them to a community's "rewards pool". These tokens are then awarded to users for their contributions, based on the votes that their content receives. Users who hold more tokens in their account as "Steem Power" will get to decide where a larger portion of the rewards pool is distributed."

2018-08-15 13:04:29 UTC  

But where does the money come from?

2018-08-15 13:04:50 UTC  

Because Steem tokens can't be used to do fuck all.

2018-08-15 13:05:03 UTC  

And if something isn't a medium of exchange it isn't money.

2018-08-15 13:05:30 UTC  

not sure, i kind of get the impression the miners are taxed to fund it

2018-08-15 13:05:38 UTC  

Like if I'm a creator on Steemit, how do I use my tokens to buy food?

2018-08-15 13:06:41 UTC  

looks like you can trade it, so you can sell it for either dollars, or bitcoin, and then sell the bitcoin

2018-08-15 13:08:06 UTC  

just guessing

2018-08-15 13:08:36 UTC  

since it has a market value of $0.866673 right now

2018-08-15 13:09:35 UTC  

cant see why it would be any different than any other altcoin

2018-08-15 13:11:45 UTC  

so a friend of mine got permanently suspended on twitter for basicly the most minor offences ive ever seen

2018-08-15 13:11:46 UTC  

It's going to be a really hard sell to people who would just like to get Paypal'd their earnings. I'm guessing that the bulk of people on youtube don't know or care about crypto and consider it some kind of black magic.

2018-08-15 13:12:20 UTC  
2018-08-15 13:12:30 UTC  

bitconeeeect

2018-08-15 13:12:47 UTC  

money in general is basically black magic to people

2018-08-15 13:13:02 UTC  

people dont really understand where value comes from

2018-08-15 13:14:24 UTC  

people will never understand crypto either, they will just use it and take it for granted, just like how most people dont understand how e-mail works

2018-08-15 13:14:51 UTC  

Which is fine really, if you want to appeal to the broadest possible audience.

2018-08-15 13:15:12 UTC  

And if there is to be a real alternative to these social media platforms, the broadest possible audience is what needs to be targeted.

2018-08-15 13:15:20 UTC  

Folks who don't ever want to know what a blockchain is.

2018-08-15 13:15:28 UTC  

Who just want to buy things and get paid.

2018-08-15 13:15:52 UTC  

yeah you really don't have to understand anything, you just need to know that swiping your card gives you the loot

2018-08-15 13:17:00 UTC  

I hope that eventually maybe 2-3 coins win out and become the standard. Right now having a new altcoin every 15 minutes is making the cryptocurrency market less credible and more volatile (and therefore less valuable).

2018-08-15 13:17:59 UTC  

life is easy for people who are evil

2018-08-15 13:18:12 UTC  

man, Im watching some of the bullshit fake journalists spew

2018-08-15 13:18:15 UTC  

they know they are lying to

2018-08-15 13:18:21 UTC  

I bought a bunch of litecoin a few years ago but it doesn't appear to have gotten any traction.

2018-08-15 13:18:43 UTC  

the activists defending antifa after charlottesville when I know for a fact that they are lying becuase one of them has been seen in photos at white nationalist events

2018-08-15 13:18:51 UTC  

i dont mean rallies
