@exyle, thank you for sharing your point of view with us. Thank you for the post and thank you for the video.
So, are you a witness? Or you are a representative of the witness blocktrades? I've voted for blocktrades.
Btw, I think I saw you at the Steem Fest in Kraków...but I am not pretty sure. I am a Newbie, and, of course, I didn't know you.
Ok, in my view, the crypto market is in a downtrend. Bitcoin is the anchor. Until bitcoin community doesn't solve the scalability issue the price of the BTC will be under pressure. We may see prices lower than the current one at the level $4000. If Bitcoin continues to fall, the other cryptocurrencies and tokens will do the same. (Most of them). So, we the Steemians have to understand that the price of STEEM can even get lower than the current price of 0,34 $.
Of course a possible further price drop of STEEM may hurt the business of Steemit, Inc. The easiest way for a company in crisis to TRY to survive is to lay off employees. That's what last week Ned Scott said Steemit, Inc is going to do. They don't have another option. It's pitty, but it is true. All companies do the same during financial crises. Yes, we don't know if Steemit, Inc. will survive.. I cross my fingers for them, but, of course, we need diversification. So, we need other alternatives. That's why I've voted for @good-karma . Because of eSteem Surfer. Although I don't use it. Also I've voted for Partiko. I hope they can be alternative to Steemit, Inc. as well.
We have to understand, that crypto is in a downtrend. We will face much more difficult times. All we, the Steemians, have to find solution together how to strengthen our system and help it survive the downtrend.
I am waiting for your next post/video in which you are going to comment on the witnesses. I want to vote for a witnesses that have good ideas and know how to implement it in order to help Steem ecosystem survive.
I am a witness with a developer group called @blockbrothers. We are currently in spot #38. We made Steemify and I'm personally heavily invested in the blockchain with my time and own money. I want this thing to succeed and am fighting for it.
You are right about the markets. This downtrend could last for another long time. That's why it's so critical to not rely on STEEM only as a revenue model for a business. It needs to change.
Steem is a blockchain that through its communities should be able to attract outside revenue. There is currently only 1 app on the chain that can do that. Steem Monsters. We need more of those.
@exyle, as a developer, could you tell me which frontend/or apps can be consider as a perfect or close at least close substitutes for Steemit? eSteem Surfer? Partiko? What else?
Thank you for letting me know about Steem Monsters and what their mission is.
I guess every app that runs its own infrastructure. eSteem for instance. I'm still building a list of independent apps.
@exyle, thank you!
