BuzzSteem Ep 11 [Witnesses, Cheetah and Shitposts Oh My!]
Oh Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, we must be....on Steemit!
Hey guys, so you absolutely, 100% don't want to miss today's show.
Also a small disclaimer that I may or may not have let my salty language get a little out of control today, so there are bits and pieces of this that are potentially NSFW
Now that that's out of the way, today I talked about a few different things:
Witnesses, their intentions, their faults, their rewards, and the problems with some of their promises.
@haejin (because not a day goes by where I am not sucked into the miserable @haejin abyss...however, you may be surprised at the reason he is mentioned on the show today.)
@ilt-yodith and his tongue in cheek post about crypto markets.
- @pawsdog and some insight into his critics.

- @tarotbyfergus and an awesome song he decided to cover by @basilmarples. I wrote his name wrong in the video! So sorry, I corrected it here though! It's "marples" not "marbles". Derp.
And last but not least, the Steemian of the day: @zoidsoft. An awesome crypto-exchange Libertarian who has more knowledge about, well, everything than I can ever hope to imagine. Read his blogs, watch the videos he posts, open your mind! He is the reason I came to Steemit in the first place, and if you ask anyone, I was a crypto-skeptic not even a year ago. Things have changed a lot, and his encouragement about the new world of blockchain, crypto and decentralization has literally changed my life! Follow him, you won't regret it!

Tub Cat had to leave his Tub for a short while but is looking forward to watching your video when he returns to his Tub for lunch.
Haha I haven't posted the video you are in yet, I am uploading that tonight! Whenever I try to upload during the day it takes like 4 hours!!!
Tub Cat awaits your latest video with his cat like aloofness.
Thanks for the mention @bethwheatcraft! Steem isn't perfect, but is an iteration towards a more perfect decentralization. Let the new deconstitution eventually become representativeless...
I don’t know how I missed this.
Now I’m going to have to get myself a Ray-J and release a poorly edited sex tape with improperly synced-sound (or so I’ve heard because I have, in no way, ever watched Ray J and the now Mrs. West in the throws of unmentionable bliss).
Ok I am LIVING for the live TV reporter style of your videos. This is really helpful, informative stuff for a newbie like me. You're really helping me understanding the nuances of the drama/daily occurences/generally how steemit works. Keep at it!
That's really nice of you to say! I am so glad you enjoy it!
Not only informative but also fun, your videos are great! I told you you were going to be HUGE, and you are in the way ;)
Haha I am not so sure about that, but I do appreciate that you watch my videos. Thank you.
head explodes
Thank you for the mention @bethwheatcraft:D
I'm glad you liked the song!
Basil is brilliant...
I feel so bad that I misspelled his name! I corrected it in the article!
lol
It was subtle... I didn't notice:)
thanks for sharing, good post for the try
@bethwheatcraft 👌👊
this is a nice video. thanks for sharing
Ha, that witness gig is only in todays money. Imagine if the price of STEEM goes 10x.
There is much more at stake than just a few thousand dollars.
Perhaps you could interview the Top 20 Witnesses at some stage so we can find out exactly how they are earning that money.
I know some are busting their balls but are they all. And perhaps it'll be more interesting to hear from the witnesses sitting at 20-30 to see if they deserve a boost.
So much work to do, Beth, so much work to do.
PS: Don't hold your breathe on the Crypto exchange giving back the money either. This will be another case of robbing Peter to pay Paul. It's all just numbers on a spreadsheet right?
Yeah, I suppose it's even easier to do in the world of cryptocurrency where everything is literally just numbers. The people on the top definitely won't feel it even if they were to refund it, but I suppose you're right in that it won't really happen.
