Hi @ned! I'm brandnew to Steem - found the platform through your CNN interview - and am wondering if you could tell me in a few words how to grow one's stake in the most efficient way? I've been reading a lot about delegations which seem to be the ultimate solution to many, but am wondering if there are other models you'd recommend to a crypto enthusiast and potential Steem investor. 
Appreciate your response!

More details & examples or links please Ned

It'll get there.

It really needs it. Haha. One day... Probably.

Is it like a shell game???

And the whole community say; **"lead us there, we pray you"**

Agree!!!

This was what came to my mind: https://etherscan.io/token/0xef51c9377feb29856e61625caf9390bd0b67ea18

Sound legit

Without the human enabled processes, no crytocurrency system will be useful. So there is no for the bionic contracts.

First time hearing the word and I'll love to see where we are going with this.

bionic-contracts are cool, @ned can I have a job?

Some smart term with smart inscription

Trust? On cryptocurrency...That's splendid!
Ontology works on trust too
Bring it on! Let's see

I was trying to make Bionic contracts but you helped destroy them:

Good job @ned.

no idea

Do you have an example @ned to help us see what you have in mind?

Yet another cryptic message.

What are you trying to say @ned?

Are you trying to encourage users to build Bionic Contracts, or are you trying to gauge the public acceptance and engagement to determine whether or not to build a mechanism to make them work on STEEM?

I like where your head is going @ned!

I believe steem will set me free, should have 10,000 sp in around 2 months just in time for SMT's to take off

I agree!
But which use cases to demonstrate this idea?

Living Will
Family trust
Grass roots media
Elder care
Elections
Township governance 

And even more important is Usability and great community.

@ned,
I hope STEEMIT INC will look forward to build the mechanism! With current features Bionic contracts cannot be processed so smoothly!

Cheers~

Indeed, @ned, trust is the only guarantee for any investment. Infact, trust itself is a currency. Integrating Bionic Contracts into the cryptocurrecy system will be the best approach towards improving investment in such currency as well  as growing the economy of such currency. This is because the adoption and usage of  such currency for realtime transactions  will increase and that's literally a plus!
