RE: Random Take Away's About STEEM From The "bitcoin is_" Conference
The biggest thing right now for me is not everyone I know wants to be a content creator, or cares about crypto.
Yes, Steem Monsters is one of the best blockchain games, but it has a long way to go to be one of the best card games.
Not only that, I think there are many niches on this platform that go unnoticed. Tribes will help with that, but I can make posts I'm really passionate about and get 1/10th of the rewards and then make something I just somewhat enjoy and make 10x the rewards.
I still talk about Steem on Twitter, Reddit, and to pretty much anyone who will listen, but most aren't interested in what Steem has to offer . . . yet.
I am moving a few hours away from Houston in a month or two so I'll have to start looking for crypto conferences and meetups around Houston to help spread the word as well.
I think it would help if we did more to somehow incorporate crypto influencers on other platforms that know about and like/promote steem. There are several Crypto influencers on YouTube that always have Steem in their top X coin of the year/month because they see the possibilities and potential of the platform.
Yes we most definitely need to get out of this concept that Steem is only content specific. I mean content is a huge part of it but I guess I consider it more of a "social" atmosphere and hopefully as are rewards system balances and we get new tools it will begin to look a bit more social.. you know, where people may want to hang out with like minded individuals, discuss topics they enjoy or come to to find answers to their questions etc.
It is a hard thing to advertise Steem, as it is so many things.. but I think if done right we could have a pretty powerful message.
For sure.
Wasn't trying to be negative with my comment as the potential and powerful message Steem has is what keeps me here and powered up.
I would say 90 - 99% of my time dealing with blockchain is doing something in the Steem ecosystem and the rest is just basically poking my head out to see what other projects are doing in the ecosystem.
It's going to be hard to change people's perceptions about Steem as first impressions are hard to deal with even if they are false or half true.
Looking forward to the future of Steem where people know it as a project to be reckoned with instead of Dans abandoned project.
Oh, I didn't think it was negative at all! It's good to have these conversations and I love to hear others' perspectives.
