Steem is a social media platform
Steem is adding fabric
Your Voice is Worth Something
Steem does not have ads
We don't have censorship
It's a platform for Apps
Communities
SMTS
Steem is a DPOS blockchain where the stakeholders can allocate the new inflationary tokens via votes to whomever they please for any reason they want.
Sometimes content, sometimes Dapps, sometimes coin stacking... Whatever.
As I've mentioned we have a perfectly functioning blockchain, we just don't know what our story is and why anyone should care.
It's not the worst problem to have. It is like reverse engineering. Figure out what people are doing with it and you have solved the problem.
In future addtion to what you said, STEEM will be a blockchain which facilitate to build more tokens top of it!
Finally STEEM is the blockchain which can help us to have a good life without having a job! (Talking about the future)@whatsup,
Cheers~
Flagged for aggrandizement 😉
haha, okay! :)
It's like Facebook only with a ponzi scheme setup where you have a chance to get very very rich if the platform really takes off and becomes the next big hit.
Everything is a ponzi scheme if it taking off makes you rich.

I think that one of the best things for steem is versatility and shapelessness... As Bruce Lee said:
Youtubers can be youtubers/dtubers here
twitter people can be twitter people
bloggers can be bloggers even use steempress
instagram - well we have lots of people doing exactly these one photo posts.
Now, the thing we are missing is communication and interaction between different levels of users (you know minnows, orcas, dolphins, whales - Kudos for exceptions and curation groups).
Also... steem needs consumerism, here everyone wants to be creator, but there is no need for most of the content out there - yes, we are young and in development but these are some problems that we face.
Have no idea what that was about, but like it matters. :)
Cheers
Bruce Who?
What blockchain did he designed? LTC?
I actually love it... be water. Steem comes from water. :) hmm.
5th element is salvation. :D :D :D
If you use that in your next post, you owe him commission lol
True!
Yup! Been trying to say that, but apart from rewarding comments and communication I don't really know how to encourage the consumer side of things.

The worst marketing ever
Noooo... We have downvoting and "not-upvoting"
What should be done...
Pay for something that is actually funny and interesting: pro youtubers, instagram, travel...
And actually worth reading: science, photography, wildlife...
Otherwise, we are hodling sh-coins used to generate more sh-coins
Nah, there are other business cases. Maybe not that appeal to you, but they are out there.
I think it can be whatever we make it to be given its flexibility. I can track my steps here and get rewarded or play a good trading card game and enjoy and win more cards. Opportunities are limitless if we provide a decentralized solutions to not rely on any one organization.

Steem is a functioning blockchain and a platform for anyone to build anything. The story is for anyone with passion to write

It's funny and sad at the same time - your recent blogs all hit the nail on the head.
I think due to the blockchain working quite well as basic dPos chain, it's still (just barely) in the top 50, but since nobody really knows what Steem actually is - we're not making much progress in ranks.
And honestly, I don't have the answers to that question right now. #whatthehellarewe
I guess we'll find out in 2019 or we're doomed ..maybe
I would like to see this discussion start when everyone starts meeting again. What are we?
If we do not have a story or a reason we are just another token in a sea of tokens.
I'm thinking that steem is just the blockchain, the power source that things plug into. Maybe the question should be what is the dapp you're using? At some point in the future, if all goes well, it won't be Steem that they talk about it will be the dapp.
"Are you on Partiko?" or "are you on SteemMonsters?"
I guess Steem would also be a crypto currency... now you've got me thinking too, darn it!! Would you stop it?!

you steem
me steem
we steem
We all scream for more STEEM? :D
Sorry - it just hit me :)
lol exactly
lol exactly
haha cute!
lol thanks...just thought I would take it all the way down to bare bones
What I fear:
Steem is not a problem. But a solution looking for one.
As for me though, I'm riding this all the way be it up or down.

Lost of Direction as Time Past...
Person 1: Steem. It rises to the top.
Person 2: Doesn't that mean that it's vapor?
Person 1: Shut up, Meg.
In that sense would it mean @ned was a visionary? 😂😂

Finally find a problem that goes with the solution, you mean?
Another post about what STEEM is not about...
Are you still trying to figuring out, why you are here in the first place?
Yes, that is actually pretty accurate. I tend to write about what I am figuring out.
lol...

As I read this post and the comments, along with a cursory view of others in the same types of discussio, it occurs to me what is happening with Steem/Steemit Inc is what I have been saying for a long time. It has officially reached a new level obfuscation. At the absolute, kindest assessment Steem will be an historical root from which other things grow, but more likely it will be just so much fertilizer for blockchain along with the majority of others in the same domain. They should have involved more (one?) normal from the beginning. In short, rather than becoming more transparent, steem is becoming more opaque to the point of impenetrable. Of course some things do need fertilizer so..,
