It's the day before Steemfest 2.
I fly out tomorrow with Bianca and we will arrive in Lisbon around 18:00, just in time for the opening at 20:00.
At the first Steemfest (nov, 2016), the platform was so much smaller than it is today and only incorporated steemit.com with maybe a couple of thousand users.
I think busy.org was announced back then as the first new project build on top of the Steem Blockchain.
If I look at what's been developed on the Steem blockchain since then and how much more users there are it's nothing short of amazing.
And new projects keep being announced. Like project Utopian.io
I believe it's the first time the Steem blockchain has been taken out of a social media environment and is being used in a new way.
Rewarding people for contributing to open source projects.
How cool is that!
I talk about it more in my vlog.
Since Steemfest 1 the following has been created/announced:
Functioning today:
steemit.com
busy.org
chainbb.com
d.tube
dsound.audio
dmania.lol
zappl.com
steepshot.io
utopian.io
esteem.ws
Announced:
SMT tokens
Vice.org
appics.com
Dlive
There is no doubt that Steemit is going places. People forget that Facebook took seven years for it to become profitable. I mean how many are n Facebook compared to Steemit? Steemit is only just beginning. People are only just beginning to understand the power os blockchain technology.
Of course one of the biggest worries people have (at least from my experience talking with friends who do not know of blockchain tech) is Government interfering and regulations. I can understand this with regards to Bitcoin as indeed it is threat to the fiat economy.
However, when you look at steem- an internal token to reward content . - then I think it must be somewhat difficult for governments to see such innovations as any kind of threat. The token is "used" for something specific and thus is no threat to authority. This could change in the future of course as crypto-currencies take more of a hold over the actual economy.
I joined in December of 2016 so it is coming up to a year for me soon and I agree it is remarkable just how far Steemit has evolved in such a short time. I year in the crypto space is 10 years in the real world lol
Always interesting to listen to you my good fellow
A lot of interesting apps and websites being created on the steem blockchain. SMTs would possibly be the hottest topic for SteemFest2!
Looking forward to learn more about them.
@exyle I hope you have a wonderful time at STEEMfest. Keep us updated if you will if anything super exciting is announced. Positive Attitude and Positive Thoughts only.
Thank you so much!
Safe Travels my Friend.........
It's easy to lose patience while dealing with crypto but seeing a list with all the development so far gives me a lot of hope for the future of the steem blockchain. The only thing that bugs me is the fact that steem has an inflationary model and that is not that appealing at the moment.
Inflation gets less as years go by. Check the graph here:

I know but it doesn't stop at any point in the next 30 years :) I think this may partially explain why steem's price is relatively low. What I'm trying to say is the fact people currently like investing in coins with low max supply and that may put people off of steem
fantastic post my friend, i agree with your thoughts steemit no doubt grows tremendously and yes we not compare steemfest1 with steemfest2 because in that one year steemit got so much developments and all those strengthened the steem blockhain, well you also talk about busy in my opinion busy.org is a fantastic frontend builds on top of steemit blockchain and there website is super fast and great alternative if we found steemit.com down, now busy.org also announced busy.org bot, you can read the full announcemnt here and i also made a post on busy.org bot here, i think it is another good little benefit for using busy.org website, what is your opinion about this bot friend?. Stay happy and have a fantastic steemfest2 ahead.
I think it's nice too see different methods being used to attract users to a website.
Great progress made.. imagine in 1 year from now.. have fun @ steemfest
Thank you, I'll hope to catch that artwork!
that would be great.. did you see the surprise of the day:

Take care bro, don't be too restless now since it's time for the trip, haha.
Truth be told man...I wish it was 24h in the future already :)
Schoolchildren, the noise, yes we can hear 'em :) But don;t be to hard on the kids, they're the future of Steemit !
See you in Lisbon! I'm arriving Thursday, for about the same reasons you're still in Holland today, but can't wait to meet everyone!
That is true! See you in Lisbon.
it has been a great pleasure to be a part of a awesome community and it grows day by day with new additions. Next year Steem will be a totally different thing.
Safe journey @exyle and hope you both will have a awesome time
Cheers!
Thank you.
Yah, this how ideas, innovation, projects grow to become a masterpiece and steemit is one of them.👍👍
@exyle,
Wish you a safe journey and hope to hear more updates from you at the event! As a senior Steemian you have huge experience about it! The future of STEEM seems great and we feel it too!
Cheers~
@exyle - Steem is more powerful than previous.... That's why you always keep positive thoughts about it Sir... Enjoy well at the fest & show us what has happened there....
+W+
The amount of projects that are being carried out is incredible. The truth is that in my time in steemit I barely have time to immerse myself in all of them. I hope to catch up and take advantage of the potential they offer.
Do not forget to taste those typical dishes of Portugal and drink "Vinho verde" (white wine) in the Alto district of Lisbon.
Enjoy it!
Thanks!
the list is just about to get bigger and bigger with time to come really amazing to see the development around
Have a good and safe trip. Looking forward to your posts when you come back...
I hope we can hear another major announcement in steemfest 2.
and it looks like more will follow soon with steem fest keep us updated buddy
Have a safe trip to Lisbon, and keep us posted. I really wished I could be there.
Thank you!
rewarding people for the work they love this to me is actually the game changer the core to steem block chain success
Truly an awesome ride this site has taken. It is the infancy, and unlike that zuckerberg trash, we all stand to gain from its growth. Pretty damn cool :)
And much more will follow. Steem rules and will be bigger and bigger.
It will be more power then ever as the day passes by.
There is so many unused ideas. Could we say that steemit followers are also site-function based on steem blockchain??
Steemit has seen a lot of growth since I have been here. I am still waiting for the take-off moment when it goes "viral." Mark my words, it will happen, I just don't know when.
wonderful post, good work, thanks for sharing following

Thank's for your sharing
nice.
success continues to dude.
I would like to see a store (steembay?) that you could spend steem on. I bet it would make steem price rise...
Lisbon is a bit far away...
Let's ramp it up 10x next year... it's swim or sink
nice work. thanks
It is gonna be a huge Platform as time passes by and it does feels great to be a part of it :)

steem block chain is definitely going to change many lives :)
Have a good, safe trip, do what Bianca tells you, it is quieter that way,
It was less than 50 years from first flight to the Moon, just think of Steem in 48 more years.
indeed amazing what all has come extra on top! I wished I could be there in lisbon with all you. Meaby next year when I am a little wealthyer ;)
Have fun at steemit2 buddy! Hopefully next year i will be able to attend and meet some of the faces of this wonderful community! In my first month here ive definitely learned a lot from this platform and ive gotten to know some amazing people! Have a safe flight buddy and go have a blast!
