Dude that is a LOT of words with a very vague title like "Expanding DeFi".
I skimmed through it and it appears that you are trying to form a community of DeFi and associated stuff on Tron. Tron has a bad name due to Justin and that has carried over to Steemit when he acquired it. (which wasn't such a bad platform).
I am not aware of what happened with Steemit. The last time I checked there was a lot of centralization with biggest whales taking away most of the earnings and newbies finding it hard while bot armies were spoiling everything. It was much like this forum but with too many centralized factors and not enough goodwill and genuine people to do some back-office management (Like the forum has Theymos and Staff).
I'd suggest you to change the topic to something more to-the-point and then write a bullet-point post about what exactly are you trying to say and accomplish here. I am interested to know whats up with Steemit.
You are actually misinformed,
Dan and Ned and the problem not Justin Sun.
I will get deep into this now because it needs to be gotten into, I will create more on this later but we will need to start somewhere.
I am a Statist. I believe in a State, in Particular I am a Federalist. But as I mentioned before not like a @FedSoc Federalist.
So if we look at Steemit, Dan and Ned, they first created BitShares and OpenLedger, Delegated Proof of Stake was used to keep open the trading Platform and BitShares User Issued Assets (UIAs) were actually a very early Token currency intended to be issued like Concert Tickets, or Coupons, or Collectibles. Then they Launched Steemit, and the Witnesses came from BitShares.
So then it started great, it was mainly just Crypto people teaching each other and new people, I remember when an Ad was bought with an image of a girl with glasses, in jeans, sitting cross legged on a laptop, with a Steemit Logo and that's what was bringing in new people. It was kinda becoming like a Travel Blog community, we were all much more open talking about money, people would even beg for Rent, etc. Then the Anarcho Capitalists came, Stephen Molyneux and Dollar Vigilante, etc. They bought in and that whole Parlour brand of Social Media came there, the Anarchist Blogosphere, the Anti-Statists.
They removed the Bridge Toll,
The 104 week Power down,
They made it 4 weeks and actually Left.
And all that while telling Justin he bought the Platform, those were BitShares people and Anarchocapitaltsts who made it 4 weeks, those were who was there. Justin did not come in trying to ruin lives, they were just not trying to reconcile, they wanted to show Justin that he didn't own the Platform.
Expanding DeFi is simply about this:
DeFi is about Annual Returns, Interest, and having money locked up earning while you can go use those earnings elsewhere, or locking up your Coin as collateral to take out Loans. Which is not much different than locking it up and Voting. Steemit is DeFi,
And I'm talking about using Steemit to expand DeFi, while expanding Steemit.
Like,
I don't like Mark Zuckerburg but I use Facebook, maybe you don't use Facebook but the point being you don't and shouldn't have to like the owner to use a Platform.
And if Mark Zuckerburg had been an Anarchocapitalist who made himself well seen on the Platform, like shitting on Taxes in all ways, and only voting up Dollar Vigilante, Facebook would be a small shitty place too.
This issue with STEEM and HIVE then gets into Federalism. Statism, if we now begin to look at the Politics if STEEM and HIVE, Politics meaning these Racial Politics and the Cult of Kek, the 2nd Amendmenters. If we look at these Politics we can begin to understand Statism.
Anarcho Capitalist believe the World should operate on a Chucky Cheese Token Model, where the Highway is owned, even regular Streets are owned, abd operate like Toll Roads, even the Sidewalk, and the Police Station. And if you don't have someone in Town that wants to Buy up land and Build Sidewalks and Roads, your area won't have those. And if your Town wants Police they would Voluntarily (Voluntarism is a kind of Anarcho Capitalist Lite, and Libertarianism fits there too, but Anarcho Capitalists are like the extreme) pool their Money together to Buy a Police Force from a Mercenary group like Black Water. And from there, I guess everyone just operates like Mad Max or some kind of Castle War video game app.
Anarcho Communists exist also, but aren't even really worth mentioning. They are basically just anti-Profit, they are against Profiteering. So if you have a house and an oven and you make Pizza for your family that's fine, if you share it with neighbors that's fine, now if you Buy more ovens and make more Pizza, it has to be fair for the Community to Buy it at a price close to the price of materials, and the State can seize all of that at any time because like Anarcho Capitalists, these are Anarchists who believe that the State should be there to keep us all equal, or in more real terms here, to keep us all down together below them, because that's what Communism always ends up being because it is only a model that works if the whole world gets on board. Communism only works if all the Factory owners are killed, and all the people continue wanting to operate on that Employee level but with the State owning the Factory, and then trading with a World full of other States doing that. Even Chinese Communism has changed, and now Russia is Oligarchs, North Korea could be seen as an example of Anarcho Communism, but it's more like Monarcho Communism, which is just 1 more Archy than Anarchy, so Monarchy isn't too far from Anarchy, especially when the Anarchists are Communists.
But anyways, to get out of the Weeds now. I am a Statist. Anarchists believe that Taxation is Theft, Communists say "Property is Theft" and it's kind of an evolution of that. They also have Expropriation where they Rob the Capitalists (Banks, the Rich, etc) to fund the forming Communist State, that is Expropriation. Kind of like what the Anarcho Capitalists did by moving their funds to HIVE and opening a new platform, that is kind of Expropriation. And we can see this now as comparable to a State
Steemit and HIVE are like States, and for anyone who can't grasp that, and is wondering how. If we actually we're to convince a State, say Texas or New York, or maybe a State that wants to spur Discussion and needs more people to come like Alaska, where the Oil Companies pay the Citizens for allowing them to Drill there. That is kind of a Communist type act, but so is Social Security, and Oil Subsidies themselves, and Bank Bailouts, etc, etc but if Alaska starts AK, and it's like AK.web and it's the Alaska Steemit platform, and Alaskans are invited to join, and some of the Oil Money is used to Advertise the Service, to Fund the Value of AK Coin, and to get people on the Internet to get on the Blockchain.
Now there would be:
STEEM
HIVE
BLURT
and
AK
And now we can see much easier how the platform can be compared to a State, because there could be AK, NY, TX. These could all be platforms like Steemit, with their own Currency. Now, we can see that each of these States have their own areas, a 2nd Amendment area, an Art area, a Women's area, a Fitness area, the Platforms or State equivocal each have their own populations which are different, this gets into Federalist Papers #10. But then each Platform is like it's own State, and we collectively as people that log into all of them, are like a US Federal Citizenry over these States.
So the way the US used to work is that you were a Citizen if your State, and your Federal Rights were largely related to the Federal Government, until the Amendments were incorporated. We can see this in Cantwell v. Connecticut where Jahovah's Witnesses are attacked for sharing Religious literature, and the State doesn't appreciate their Religion (Kind of like Witch Hunting, or the Mormon Wars), and the Federal Government had to Incorporate the 1st Amendment into the States, this is Incorporation Doctrine, abd this is where the Amendments are like Defendants. You can be both Guilty, and have your Rights Violated because your Rights are themselves like a Defendant that represents all of us. So basically, you could be convicted of a Crime, then sue and have it proven that your Rights were Violated even if you plead Guilty. Even if no one Coerced you to Plea Guilty and a Jury rightfully found you Guilty, if your Rights were Violated that's all that matters. One Court case said "When the Constable blunders, the Criminal goes Free", and goes on to expand on that with concepts like "It's better to let 100 Guilty go Free, than to Kill 1 Innocent".
This gets into Statism, because with Anarcho Capitalism these Judges would be Hired by the People with no Election, just chosen by the Oligarchs, to rule over whoever wants to use their Roads, etc. And really Anarcho Capitalism gets to a Strain of Neo-Monarchism, where people want to be Ruled by a King or Queen, and then gets into the Sovereign Citizen movement where everyone thinks they are Kings of their Property, and Case Law doesn't matter because of the Constitution, when they all go together. And to the point of the Neo-Monarchism, as we get into Federalism we will also be getting into Monarchy, and the Rite of those who Slaved to be Kings and Queens, so if you are in America our Riteful Kings and Queens are the former Slaves, no Anglo has claim.
But I am a Statist and I will continue to expand on these concepts and intend to Debate some Anarchists.
I'm going to get more into this now since it is really at issue here on Bitcointalk:
The people who used to run Steemit and got in a feud with Justin Sun, then causing this big split between the STEEM people and HIVE people, were driven by White Nationalists. The Dollar Vigilante, and Stephen Molyneux, I'm not like Jealous of these people and calling them out because I think they shouldn't be allowed to have money or something. I'm just saying they are Racists, and that Anarcho Capitalism pushes away other people. Regardless of your opinion of Anarcho Capitalism, if you aren't an Anarchist, you can't really do anything on a Platform full of White Nationalists who worship a Chaos God called Kek, and who are generally just not personable. These people are the 2nd Amendment Podcasters and stuff, like Alex Jones Prison Planet people, InfoWars type people. That Blogosphere is what fuels all of this. It's everything from like Innocent Youtube chats about Self-Defense and Gun Responsibility, maybe a little Militia talk, all the way to StormFront. A Website where I logged in to learn about them when I was like 18 (I also joined Black people meet, Bitcoin Talk, Marijuana Forums, Religious abd Spiritual Forums, etc, etc) and they rejected Bob Odinkirk as one of theirs, because he works with Jews. And they all believe White people are dying, and that the White Woman's White skin, Blue Eyes, and even Nipples ought to be fought for, even if the Woman herself is not a White Supremacist. They believe the White Aryan race is being drown out by Dominant Brown Eyes, Brown Skin, Dark Hair, and they are afraid. And they want to be armed to establish a White State, and they feel that it is fair that the Chinese State has no prominent White Christian Leaders, African States have African leaders, and so by their Judgement the USA, UK, Australia and South Africa should all have White Christian Leaders. They see Russia as exemplary.
That's who doesn't like Justin Sun,
That's what's behind all of that talk.
It has nothing to do with Steemit's Utility.
