I totally agree with your view towards EOS... One of the most promising crypto project... Looking forward for their wallet launch!

Yes, I couldn't be more excited about it either :-)
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Easter time!

Thanks for the great post Marly. I've been holding onto a few EOS tokens from early days of its distribution. I wish I had picked up some more. :D

Anyways I hope it grows into a strong project and I would like to see a social media app built upon it as well.

You're welcome, I'm happy you enjoyed the read! :-)

I'm still not holding any tokens, but will do it in the near future.
A social app would be huge! It seems ONO will be one of them (see latest post from @stellabelle).

Happy Easter weekend!

I’ve been picking EOS up since the first distribution and the more I learn about the project, the more enthusiastic I become @surfermarly. I used to look forward to EOS going 10x and making lots of money, but after talking with friends like @mada, @lovejoy and @robrigo, I’m just happy to hold what I have and be a part of the decentralization if the future world.

Great to hear that you're already an EOS owner! :-) I bet you won't regret it.

What I like about the concept of EOS.io is that they focus very much on the ideological part and not just on the profit as many other blockchain based projects do.

Blockchain's are primarily about building a community. A community of people all around the world who share a common vision for how to make the world become a better place. - Dan Larimer

Hearing it from Dan I really believe them that this is one of the key drivers of EOS.io.
They're the ones that are not just talking and promising achievements they can't fulfill...

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your Easter time!

Firstly, EOS allows a developer to decide whether or not to charge for using their EOS-based currencies.

Secondly, the platform promises to offer infinite scalability. Scalability issues have turned away developers from using Ethereum. Additionally, rising Gas prices and slow transactions have hampered growth. TThat is the reason for EOS to command a market capitalization of $5.4 billion even at the conceptual stage.

Nice addings here, thanks @hasbydiaz!
I guess the scalability is a killer argument. I've watched all of the EOS.io videos on YouTube, and wherever Dan Larimer goes on stage, it's his no. 1 sales proposition.

The market cap is impressive! That actually inspired me to finally write this article :-)

I've heard Dan criticized for leaving projects and starting new ones. I see this as evolutionary rather than a lack of commitment.
I agree that the building of a whole team is one of the greatest strenghts of EOS.

I agree and don't see it as a valid reason for criticism either.
It's said that the offical @eosio account moved to Medium. It would have been great to see the Steem community being frequently updated. But well those of us who're interested in the project will know where to find the relevant information though :-)

SteemIt's development team has a conspicuous absence.
Is there any leadership for forward progresss? Or are we simply wandering in the dark?

I'm unable to answer that question, since there is few to zero communication from Steemit, Inc. But is that anything new? :-)

Not sure how they believed they'd build trust in the community and among investors, but ignorance is surely not the best strategy. They'll learn the lesson sooner or later... I don't care much about Steem anymore for that very reason. We need to move on.

That is the way of the world.
Outside influences will effect SteemIt. Probably more impacting than any inside forces. But all is not lost here. Change or die. My hope is that SteemIt will adapt and flourish, even if not at the top spot.

True story!
Competition stimulates business.
Even though I’ll never become a Pepsi lover in this life ;-))

Goodness me. EOS has been constantly on my mind for the past week. There is a real frenzy building; here on Steemit, and on other social network platforms like YouTube. I've been watching one video after another :D

I think it's time for me to get involved. Enough of the procrastination haha. Thanks for this article.

Haha, c'mon do it! :-)
I've been watching all of their videos, too! Couldn't get enough of it, they're really inspiring.

Exciting times in which we live! Very interesting post @surfermarly. EOS is something to look forward to for all of us but especially for the people of the world that have not had the benefit of convenient and transparent money transfer. Resteemed.

Thanks for your support! I'm glad you enjoyed the read :-)
You're spot on: we're definitely part of a quite exciting time of change. I wouldn't want to live in a different era to be honest.

Hopefully you're enjoying some great Easter holidays!

Is now?

It has being in top 10 since its ICO, hehe.

Haha, you're right - the 'now' didn't really fit in here.
I slightly changed the title now. Thanks for the hint :-)

Sure ;)

I thought Brock Pierce split up with EOS? Your right though..they're good at marketing. Its a bit challenging for USA citizens to buy EOS now I thought? A VPN is needed?

I thought Brock Pierce split up with EOS?

Oh wow, I didn't know that. Just found this article: http://fortune.com/2018/03/16/john-oliver-eos-brock-pierce-scandal-cryptocurrency/

Well it seems the news didn't interest investors much. If it was of major relevance, the price would've reacted. I appreciated the point of view Brock Pierce added in the videos. The three of them - Larimer, Blumer and Pierce - were an interesting mix of very different characters, but maybe that was the problem in the end.

I heard about the barriers in the US. Does it have to do with regulation?

I'm not sure exactly @ surfermarly. I'm not an EOS holder..but this is from a friend: "In June EOS will take a snap shot of the blockchain and give you the "official" eos token. To get the real eos token, you need to have a registered ETH wallet address. They don't allow US investors to hold the token, so the wallet needs to be registered with a VPN."

Awesome! Then that's what's gonna happen in June. I was not sure about the date.

By the way, Brock Pierce shared the link to this article on his twitter account (50K followers). Nice move :-) I guess even if he may not be part of the core team anymore, he's still attached to the project. How not? :-)

i am keeping an eye to invest in EOS i can see how it soar, seems like a stable crypto

Not sure if crypto can be ever stable :-D
But yeah, the whole concept looks quite promising! I'll keep two eyes on it :-)

Thanks for this post @surfermarley. I am excited to see what EOS will do over the next couple of months. I would guess that @dan will continue moving forward with EOS & we'll see some really great development with the EOS Blockchain.

I don't think most people really understand what EOS is and what the EOS Network will become. The sky's the limit on EOS growth in the future. Great post. Upvoted + Resteemed!

In recent times, currencies have become very much not working with trust and where they invest
You are preaching to me the best information thank you
You are a wonderful person and really successful

Yes you right think, they're not only ahead of the times when it comes to technology, but they've also created a great team of experienced, inspiring and skilled people.

Thanks! It helped me. 😺😺

Well done :-)

OES was already in top 10 January 21st. At current rate, OES will pass LTC market cap in 6-8 days from now.

I must say i am finding the EOS very interesting so i desided to buy two EOS i will continue purchase more and more. I must make money before this year ends by Gods grace thanks to Dan larima for this initiative.

Thanks so much for this update, its a great info for eos.io anticipants.
I understood each and every single bit if the info cos i read inbetween the lines but i didn't really get that response feedback of knowing if they team will build a social network, could you please explain more on to me on that?
I would like to know if they are building a platform like steemit

The amount of hype they are getting is indeed worth it as it seems!

While the amount of support they are getting is indeed immense !

All the very best to thh team of EOS !

Como no? The only reason I have not bought into EOS is because I can't get an answer to 1 burning question: why are U.S. and Chinese entities excluded from purchasing EOS?

Oh I guess that's a question you might direct to the team. I've made the experience that they're very communicative and answer questions quite quickly.

Eos is one project that I'm super excited about because I'm in it early. I got into other projects late.

I started steemit months after it was created. I won't blink an eye with eos and whatever will be built on eos.

"this enables a host of new innovative decentralized business models, such as a decentralized YouTube, Soundcloud, or other storage-intensive projects." That sounds really cool! Can't wait for this thing to launch :D

So good to hear that you are back home now and I guess that means you must be feeling much better and I wish you a full and fast recovery.
I love the geranium flower smell.
Happy Easter @surfermarly

At some point I'll get around to understanding EOS. For now I'm quite glad I bought a chunk of it, and 'registered' it!

It's a learning curve to say the least.

June 1st sounds intriguing!

This is a laudable project. Your aim is just too pure and passionate.

Wow! I can not wait. I love @dan !!!!!

Great post marly! You deserve an https://eos.pizza slice!

Thanks! Yeah maybe I do :-)
