We will see a lot of self centered displays should we get that price hack. Many people won't do stuff that benefit the platform, but themselves, as has recently be proven.

It will be a real litmus test to see how we react and if we can really steer our way to mass adoption instead of the very slow processes so far

Some good thinking there. I've long thought that the price of cryptos won't stablise till they are used as currency, rather than as a way to (hopefully) make a quick buck.

Some readers might recognize this: *Why didn't you like my post on Facebook?*
Fights have started over a simple 'ignoring' of yet another Insta food post or cute (they always are) baby pic that wasn't liked (and thus ignored?) on social media. 

What will happen with relationships once your 'bestie' signs up for Steem and tags you in every post they make (because you had drinks together and it was so much fun ha - ha - ha - look at us making funny faces!) and you don't upvote them... This ignornng them, thus not 'paying them their salary', their possible livelihood? 

Do we all have to have 'tough talks' with our friends then? To explain to them what our quality standards for *their* (your friends!) posts are? To explain to them you want to upvote @tarazkp because he creates quality posts, and think your friends' food posts are actually shitposts and therefore the 0.52$ pending payout is more than appropriate? Are we going to do this? 

Like, we are all strangers and we don't expect each others upvote, we most of the time are just grateful if we *receive* them and there's (at least amongst most ;-)) no feeling of entitlement on the upvotes we receive. But will our friends and family feel entitled to our upvote, our money, our months/years of hard work that gave us the stake to make a difference? Will they expect us to pay then a salary so they can quit their jobs? Will they say 'Why didn't you upvote me?', or 'Why did you upvote that post, I had a post around the same time as well, didn't you see it?', in the meanwhile explaining how they want to go on a well-deserved holiday next month, how rent is coming up, how the bills are already on 'reminder' status. 

And will we do it? Upvote shitposts because we feel we have to? Or will we ignore the baby pics just like we do on Facebook... Although... They are always cute... 

*deleted because of double post*

> just in case we get what we want and steem goes to the moon. 

If we wish it,  we get it.

I think we will have some time to think about these questions and some many be answered along the way because if things remain as they are today, $100 STEEM may not happen.  Also, when it does, behaviors by these stakes will start to shift to more selfish ones which would hurt the price as well unless the demand increases exponentially.  However, it is definitely something to think about!

I will follow your dream. I will continue dreaming that future is a $ 100 steem that would help me a lot to be able to flee this country. But I want and I will be promoter among the friends of Venezuela that we also share that dream. I a university professor and Nomina head of the university did not even reach 12 dollars per month as salary., Sincerely, that can be called reaching the moon I do not have much sp but what I have I try to use it to maximize my profits that of a or another way I am very sincere I need them and not only for me in this case for many in this country 1 dollar = 180000000Bs you can imagine the economic distortion that we live, and when someone sees us that we celebrate and thank God very much. "(I can talk to you specifically for me)"


> In some countries, 100 dollars a day is 50x the average daily income. Will this cause new problems in life that people have not considered very deeply? Remember that if Steem is $ 100, at $ 100 vote only draws 1 Steem from the pool. In this scenario, a large account that has a 100 vote would have a 10,000 dollar vote or $ 100,000 draw per day voting at 10 times. They would still 'only' draw 1000 Steem from the pool though.


Really if it can cause many things but positive in countries like Venezuela. The same here we will never see the pain because the government forbids it, but the internal exchange of the coins is transformed into bolivars, which is what I need to survive. But I do not want to survive anymore, I want to run away from here.

The money I have put into crypto, I don't plan to ever convert into fiat. I might buy some stuff with it in the future, but I will not change it to EUROs/USD etc As far as Steem is concerned, for me it's a big question mark what it will become in the future. It could grow big, or it could become obsolete, who knows. That's why I spread my investements in several cryptos. I did not put my full name in my profile on purpose . It could become dangerous in the future. Everyone would know how much you are worth, and some gangsters could come after you.

LOL - the things you manage to worry about!

If Steem gets up to $100 I'll be delighted...

I've supported my family and friends since August 2016. I've tried everything I can imagine, to express the urgency and importance of getting involved here; to the same people who ignored my urgings to get into bitcoin back in 2013.
Crickets. 
Nothing but crickets. 
I've saved up all those crickets, and I'll return to sender when the requests start surging in. 

Simple solution to the friend/family problem: adopt a policy of paying each friend/family post the same fixed percentage, whether 1% or 50%, no more than once per day, however good/bad their posts are, without even reading them. And tell them all why. It's similar to a company competition for the public where employees aren't allowed to enter even though they may have no private information to help.

*A large account with that kind of draw on the pool will still want to get a return on investment but is unlikely going to manually curate posts and bump them $10,000 each. But, their staked resource is highly valuable and could be used for other purposes, like funding Dapps, startups, research, large scale community projects.*

Getting more business'es involved in steem is an idea we share :)
