RE: So... What Happens Next? Some late Night Random Ramblings

As I age, it seems more and more like I know less and less.

I see that as a good thing @denmarkguy. We all know less than we think we know and as we get older we realise that. At least some of us do. 😁

What's going to happen next?

I have no idea. I won't be surprised if Steemit dies the death but what will take it's place I don't know.

I'm guessing it won't be Weku. Whales shares maybe but I don't see that as different enough to do any better than Steemit has done.

I'm hoping that Steem Monsters turns into a nice little earner and amuses me for a little while. 😂

I just had 5 days off Steemit for the first time since I joined and it felt great. It was easier to do since HF20 had just hit and I was on holiday with my kids in one of my favourite places.

I will continue here until something better comes along basically. More than that I do not know. 😁

Sort:  

I keep reading the advice that Steemit isn't Steem, and this is just a playground for people wanting to develop apps for the Steem blockchain... and that's nice, and all, but it troubles me in the context of the recent dLive exit.

It also makes me want to ask that if Steemit the social site truly isn't important, then why is the company called STEEMIT, Inc. rather than STEEM, Inc.?

I have little idea of what will happen to Steemit. Like you, I am hopeful that projects like Steem Monsters will take off enough to provide a boost to the value of the Steem token, so my accumulated SP will slowly appreciate in value. I'll keep on blogging here as long as it still seems like fun (because I enjoy blogging!) and the core group of actively engaged Steemians remain.

Beyond that, whatever happens... happens.

As for Weku, Whaleshares, Minds, Dmunity and the other wannabes, I have no particular expectations... but it's fun to poke around and see what people are doing.

Good point @denmarkguy. I've not seen anyone ask that question before and now I'd really, really like to know the answer to that. 😁

If I can find a pertinent and relevant place to insert it into some dialogue with someone who's "near the top," I intend to put it out there.

Of course, I expect "the answer" will be that Dan's vision when he started the project was very different from where we have actually wandered.

But I'd still like to see it asked and answered. And if YOU find the opportunity, ask away!

I will @denmarkguy.

Maybe. But surely SMTs must have been planned in from the start.
