RE: The Old Dog Declares: Things Are Mushrooming on The Steem Blockchain!
Even though I agree with everything you say I still think there is a little problem. You see Steemit is already 2.5 years old. I was expecting to be adopted by millions so far, yet we are only 1.1 / 1.2 mil users globaly. In order to grow as a platform but as a currency too we need to convince all those out there to join. To spread the word like a hurricane.
We may write nice articles about Steemit and steem’s potential (and I love reading them since I write a few of those too) but we are the insiders
It is like talking to each other, while a great promotion should have already taken place. Don’t get me wrong, I know there are lots of people who try their best to promote steem amd steemit. What I am talking about is massive promotion. Like in radio stations, stores, maybe even use a big brand to advertise the product on tv or promote it on the web in a completely professional way. Who wouldn't be convinced? Join the platform were you get paid to blog? I was convinced the same way, but I found Steemit by accident...
These are some random thoughts I have for some time now and I was considering to make a post, but your post gave me the opportunity to share them here. Besides you have a lot more followers than I do so it might be best if some people read it and we eventually have a nice conversation. Maybe they sound weird, I don’t know...
I love everything about Steemit therefore steem too. Literally everything (well there are flaws I know) but the whole concept rocks, that’s why I am anxious whether we will make the big jump or not and if yes...when.
Have a great day @kus-knee
Good points.
Steemit was the Trojan Horse to get things going. It is still beta, once the SMT’s launch it wii fade into the background and the Steem you have will become very valuable as the principal token behind all other coins.
Once that happens blogging on Steemit will be a small piece of the Steem Blockchain.
I believe that too, even though I am not quite sure that Steemit will be just a small piece. I had a conversation with someone a few weeks back and he dropped the best line I've heard about steem. "There will be a time, where people will fight just for one steem token"
Time will tell for sure...I hope that SMT's are the answer to that.
Some people know more of the inner workings of the platform hence a wider perspective of what more to come than us. @timcliff has posted a few but too technical for me..perhaps you can ask him?
For now..belief in the platform is what most users here have. Small key promotions seem not enough yes where Steemit Inc can maybe do something about it but perhaps they have a timeline to do it?
Love this mushrooming Old Dog...let it be!
