Ofcourse i know better than a clueless person that didnt bother to check, here;s your list https://medium.com/@AroundTheBlock_/a-current-list-of-use-cases-for-ethereum-b8caa5807553#.u4gzcaioq
Serious people are waiting? What exactly, the day after tomorrow ? People buy bitcoin to make speculation and therefore profit. And goin on with that in mind, its obvious altcoins have much more profit potential, it just takes some research to do good investments.

You call Barry Silbert a clueless person? ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

Honestly i didnt research steem . Steem's big plus is their social platform and just that ? If so this is a good case to make speculation on and people that got in early made some money, but thats it. Even the dumbest person around (me) can tell it is never going to have any succes, maybe 1 in a billion chance. Social platforms are at their peaks and they are already BRANDS ( facebook ) . Even if, by miracle, someone create a FB killer, no one will use it because it wont be called FB.

From what I was reading yesterday, there doesn't seem to be anything shady going on - at least not on Steem's side of
things. The coin itself wasn't affected, only the social platform. The powers that be over @ Steem are saying that anyone
whose funds were taken during the attack will be fully reimbursed.

This shit doesnt have 10% of ethereum potential and it wont be able to hold its price. I own 0 steem and im not planning to buy any, but if i would be you i'd sell minimum 50% and up to 75% of the stake. And again, if i would be you, i would invest in ethereum since its obvious ( 90% chance, my estimation ) that ethereum will go above 15$ after the fork and soon after that back to 20$. Wether or not the fork will pass, but the "crysis" period will be gone.
It's just my opinion, but atm ethereum is the only crypto out there with highest chance of growth, bitcoin halved and as i expected the halving itself didnt bring any more value, therefore theres no profit to be made with bitcoin.

It's true. I am not an eth fan but they have a hard-fork planed for the 20th of this month. Finally!

Also, Coinbase is continuing to cosy up to ethereum with its addition of direct buy methods later on this month. After the integration is complete you will be able to perform direct buy for ethereum with your credit card - just as you can for bitcoin.

I guess Coinbase is waiting for the new "Geth" file.... So buy "eth" with your "steem" which you can probably do anonymously via shapshift ASAP, hold for a month, then sell? Sounds perfect!

As for the BTC halfing. two months ago btc was £300, today £500, two months time £600. its looking like the halving is going well. markets just take time to adjust

Yeah, right. We all saw how EF handled $200Mn+ in funds. That's why serious investors like Barry Silbert are asking some questions. But you, of course, know better.

Yet another bs. Who do you think moves the Bitcoin price? People with $5 in their pockets? It all comes to supply and demand. Serious people are now waiting. It can't happen in 5 days.

Wow, they are data rich, they know everything about you then? So there is more to lose than just a few tokens? Sounds like a "False flag" attack

From what i can tell everyone knows everything about everyone else
anyway since all your activity is logged on a public blockchain.

There is something else to worry about. What will happen with the price once trading is enabled on Bittrex? I would sell right away if I had any.

Nothing is safe in crypto. Everything is hackable.. Cheesy

I think its not crypto its website script they are using for their website. There are lots of hackers around who can easily hack websites and access user accounts. I see this as website hack rather than steemit blockchain being hacked.

I have 0 balance in my steemit account so i don't think my account is also hacked. Grin

I dont think it will fail. It will be proped up by western governments as it is a crackingly good surveillance tool

I agree with you both, but what they are trying to do something that requires a lot of funds, not to mention that I already raised some concerns about how it will evolve, and if this model would work. I will repeat that I didn't make deep researches on STEEM, but the way I see it... it will FAIL.

Good that it happened early. A late hack would mean more naive people to lose their fund.

This was going to happen at some point, especially when they are building a pretty impressive user database, this will no doubt be a target again as thei usserbase grows, I hope they nip this in the bud early on.

There is nothing wrong with a good Ponzi. I love them. I can make a bob or two on a good Ponzi. You need to be an early adopter but you also need to get out early, just before people are asked to "doubble down".

Im thinking "false flag attack". It does happen. Mark Karpeles, the CEO of Mt Gox, has been released today by Japanese authorities on bail 10 months after being charged with embezzlement. He has reportedly paid a bail fee of $95k.

As i understand it, Steemit is a platform where you get paid for your social media activity. This means you run their software (that you have trust in) and use your social media credentials to log in?

I cant not recall a single website it can not be hacked, we have seen it everywhere and we continue see that kind of incidents the question is how they will proceed in future and handle it , and last but not least every crypto currency has its own drama!

You're right, but the question here is how they are handling the funds (i.e. distribution). As far as I know there was no ICO/crowdsale in steem, but I'm not sure that everything is transparent.
