Expanding Beyond Steemit with PiedPiper & Mrs. Steemit
With Dan's departure and the jump in Steem's price, there is a renewal of enthusiasm around here. Is it going to last? Has the tide really turned or is the big rally still to come? We have our opinions about this and are happy to share but we really want to start looking beyond Steem to explore some other interconnected topics.
Steem is a fantastic tool for introducing people to cryptocurrencies and often inspires an interest in economics and business. It's a doorway into the fascinating and liberating world of entrepreneurship, which is where our true passion lies. Of course, we'll continue to cover Steemit developments as they occur but our scope is broadening and we hope you'll all join us in the conversation as we explore what it means to take responsibility for your own life and blaze your own trail through it.
Well yes, clearly Dan has very good ideas, but the execution is poor and overcomplicated. And then he backs off. Bitshares was exactly the same.
Agreed, Steemit drags people into the cryptosphere. But it needs a lot of work to be the new Reddit or whatever.
Dan's technical execution is very good, Steemit and Bitshares are testimony to that. Dan is probably the very best developer in the industry right now. What is missing though is the other side, making the tech relatable, approachable and usable. That what's needed now.
Agreed. We've come a long way but there's still a lot to be done.
Can you give a few examples of what can be improved on steemit?
I think that Steemit should have a clear focus on what this platform is meant to be. It seems to be a cross between reddit and blogging, with a tad bit of instagram mixed in between. I agree that Steemit is a revolutionary platform and the socio-economic aspect has been thought out quite well, as written in their white paper. (Yes, I read through all 44 pages haha) With a relatively small development team compared to other projects, I believe that Steemit should focus on disrupting the blogging scene, as I believe that would yield that highest on-board from writers, where less-established bloggers would be quick to come here. It would save them the hassle of finding hosting sites and setting up a website from scratch. Though Steemit's user interface may seem primitive at the moment, I think the most important issue to tackle right now, would be clarity in direction. Personally, I would love to see blogging take over here, with the flexibility and interactive-ness of Reddit-type comments within the community.
Interesting thoughts on college. Did you see this?
Yes! That was fantastic :)
Our latest Fort Galt member used a similar service to get a job placement at the Seasteading Institute and he's absolutely loving it. It's definitely the way to go.
Nice episode! I particularly resonated with piedpipers comments on university education. Interestingly, I wrote about a similar topic before, discussing whether more education increases productivity in society.

Here's the link if interested!
Following our hearts and dreams are such important issues for our soul to thrive and, as far as I have experienced so far, here with Steemit, it surely has pushed me to move forward faster than I would have otherwise which, in itself, shows a remarkable aspect to this site as well as the power of their cryptocurrency: It empowers us all to realize our dreams and fulfil our hearts desires! Of course, I can't wait to see the development of the new "string" of Steemit.com and sure hope for more socially incline interactivity allowing us all to gain so much more than friends. :)
Education also empowers us, especially to see through the lies, learning to read between the lines is a very important aspect of it. Yet, the thinking with one's heart seemingly could get more exposure... Here, in Canada, British columbia, the new curriculum allows this to occur right now and, hopefully, most teachers will include this at the forefront of their everyday value planning. This way, everyone wins on the long run as everyone get to become more valuable to each other's eyes, especially in their differences, building tolerances and increasing the celebration of the differences themselves for what it brings to each other individually as well as in a group however large we may consider it.
All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
This video is unfair for steemit - I had to watch it three times to get the content as I was sooooo fascinated from the Beauty on the left side of the vid :-) - sure many others have the same issue - but finally got it - great thoughts - thais for sharing @piedpier and @mrs.steemit
Great post and video :) STEEM has huge uncovered potential :)
I agree very much with this. There are no other cryptos out there doing this as well as Steemit.
Happy to be back with our show! :)
i think steemit will become the new reddit
You hope
I hope that you are using E-prime.
And I wish you let the other person know that it is, that what you are using, and what it is.
Because else it seems like you are telling the other person not to trust his own thoughts, and to believe your thoughts instead, the person might unconsciously control his speech. I don't believe that to be a good thing for there may come a time when a person might need his freedom of speech to stop, what I believe to be, atrocities . But that's my opinion;)
Edited; added some words to clarify, I'm walking on eggshells allready lol
It's either that or @personz is saying, in a word, that there are miles to go before we sleep. ...you have been activated, complete your mission!
Please explain.
yeah why what do you think
very well done guys, nice discussion , love the side by side, informative and also encouraging for the platform.
