To provide onsite information about what you have posted here, I respectfully quote the words of two primary individuals in that article by Ian Allison of the International Business Times:
"Global Blockchain Technologies Corp. CEO Rik Willard said: "We're proud to be the first publically traded company to make a significant investment in the Steem ecosystem. No current open source and public blockchain protocol is more mature, scalable, and as rapid as Steem.
"We are convinced that traditional media companies from every corner will find that Steem's technology will be a better way to monetize and distribute existing content and future works."
CEO of Steemit Ned Scott said: "Today's announcement makes the future for Steem brighter than ever. The Steem Blockchain is faster and already larger than the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains combined, and working with Global Blockchain Technologies Corp. is going to exponentially increase the number of applications built on Steem in an accelerated amount of time."
The above citation should emphasize your point. Thank you for bringing this up as Steemians would now be more inspired to focus their efforts and talent on |Steemit.
Yes it does! :) Thanks for writing this here making more clear my point. Steem On!
You are welcome. I love to read things that strengthen my belief in Steemit because this is one way to have more convincing power when we share about this great site to friends and relatives.
