RE: Ask Me Anything Contest / Best Questions Win SBD - Dragging You Up With Me Week #9

in #steemit6 years ago

What do you think are the projects on steem blockchain are going out of internet and being part of their lives.?? I mean the projects that are giving their users the personal touch. Also what do you think is the best way or innovative way to raise funding for such projects. I can keep on asking questions lol....

There are not to many making that personal connection with its users currently, most seem to do the opposite.

  • @actifit with its activity tracking would probably be the only true one making a deep personal connection within real life. Motivating you to stay active in rl so you may receive higher rewards or just the sheer challenge of achievement through physical activity.
  • @dtube and @dsound though grand seem to do the opposite bringing your life onto the internet but with sharing videos or spoken word the personal connection between online users is very deep yet other then the creation it’s effects on real life are minimal.
  • Many others I am not quite sure how they even would begin to relate to rl in any way though they have very personal touches. The exception being meetups but that also isn’t really focused on effecting people’s lives but rather drawing them further into the online social experience while attempting to raise visibility for what we are all doing here.

How to raise funding?

  • The obvious, create a token and sell it straight for fiat bringing more money from the rl financial system into the blockchain ecosystem. Using the MS social media platforms and ads has proven to be a lucrative venture with many fraudulent things such as Bitconnect able to raise massive amounts of funding for said token even if just for the sake of quick money.
  • My favourite, empower the people whom support the project with incentives to practice their word of mouth in real life. Also I have been considering asking people to make videos promoting their favourite projects and to publish those videos on all MS platforms, more users, more interest, more investment. Incentives could be complex with rules and guidelines to receive a reward or as simple as proof receives a @steembasicincome share. The SBI share works 2 fold where both the submitter and submitted receive votes for life on all of their works and works as further encouragement.
  • Most innovative, I think of the banking system. You are encouraged to save money in a long term savings account for increased interest yet while your money is locked up what many people do not realize is that they use your money to then give further loans, kinda like a Ponzi scheme yet because the banking system is nearly mandatory now it’s likelihood of collapsing is very minimal. I think a project that can do this, set people up with a plan for saving with interest aimed at things like retirement could really take off. It could even play through the financial system with locking the money into investments guaranteed to make its own interest then allowing the project to loan against the investment for funding of its own agenda. On top of that having a financial record of “tangible” money with no volatility could be used to build a case for approaching RL investors. I think of all the mysterious investors who have put millions into YouTubers knowing the future success of the platform, yet I imagine these investors choose to work only within the realm of fiat money sources.

Thank you very much for the detailed answer. Those are some amazing projects that you mentioned. In fact I was asking @ned same question couple of days back. Those projects which come out of internet and give people a personal touch will definitely win. How amazing it is to have your project in a person's day all the day long or make some of their moments beautiful. This is what happens with @actifit and @dtube especially. Also I like what you said about SBI. It is win win situation for everyone. Then why will not people incline towards it??. They will definitely like it and choose it. I'm looking forward to more such innovative projects on steem blockchain in future.

Thanks dude I tried my damnedest to give a fully detailed response. Both of those really are awesome projects bringing your creations into your real life.

I think the concern with SBI isn’t necessarily that they don’t like it it’s more that they prefer liquid crypto instead, pretty certain I’ll be doing that on my next contest as for those of us that believe in the platform it will work out better in the long run.

We are just getting to the good times, I can’t wait to see what’s next!
