What a great research. That makes me wonder how many of 250k accounts are real accounts. Everybody making alternate accounts. Would it be accurate to say we have 50k unique users and probably 10k active users?
Which makes me doubt steem becoming mainstream anytime soon. Am I wasting time here?
If steemit alone owns 40%, makes steem very centralized.
I guess I am just having pessimistic day.
Probably not, this just isn't all that different from its alternatives as it purports to be, most likely. And it's not pessimistic in the least to consider it.
The Steemit beta allowed its founders to demonstrate a new model of blockchain function, technological form and mass adoption, and gave its content contributors an opportunity to get more than what they would have gained elsewhere in terms of return on their sweat equity.
It just isn't the second coming, that's all.
Plenty of opportunity here still to be had, especially for those who branch out beyond just blog posting and into some of the other creative endeavors I've seen lately. And especially most especially for those who find ways of capitalising on Steemit's community that don't exclusively rely on Steemit itself.
That is an interesting thought. The value of your connections on Steemit may not end up related to Steemit itself
I think most of the cryptos will be "centralised" very soon. If all the big whales or miners just keep the coins they can influence/manipulate the market like they want. It can only be a revolution if everyone in the world would have some coins..but it can´t be like that, people need a leader and strict rules, or they will live like animals...
