Steem flagship is supposed to be Steemit (a social media blogging-like platform where users can get rewards by creating content and engaging with other users on the platform), but Steem use cases are not limited to Steemit, Steemmonsters collectible card game is another showcase of how this platform can create a digital economy for people interested in creating applications (you could create polls, scientific journals that can pay researches with immediacy for their contributions, etc)
Steem is a sandbox, there is a plethora of opportunities for people with vision and resources.
Howdy today sir joelsegovia! I agree although I never thought of using the blockchain for scientific journals. But the point is excellent that the uses are nearly limitless.
It will be an amazing use case, one of the pain spot for most researches is that middle men cut more than half of the revenue produced by publishing papers, leveraging the already proven technology of the Steem blockchain (or a fork of it) could be a nice solution.
Howdy sir joelsegovia! And do you think many researchers are aware of the efficiency that Steem could bring them or is it still too unknown?
There is a small community that already has started their own magazeine-like platform. You can check them on https://www.steemstem.io
The community is a hub of engineers and scientist who post all sort of interesting content about what they are currently researching about.
Howdy tonight sir joelsegovia! oh that is very encouraging news! There are so many good things happening on the Steem blockchain.
