I’m back
It’s been quite some time since I actively participated in overall Steem matters. Ever since Steemfest 3 ended I got stuck with university tasks and exams which led to me having close to no energy whatsoever.
This happens every semester. I basically have like 4 months for Steem and 2 for university every half a year. The semester is now officially finished and I intend to dive back to full-time Steeming once again.
I have been around
I didn’t have energy to create, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have energy to consume and to think behind the curtain (a bit...:D). I have been keeping track of all the recent important events and I have given them some thought. Purpose of this article is to create basically a table of content of what has caught my eye and what I chose to write about in the future. There is a possibility that I have missed something very important for the whole Steem community. If there is such an announcement/event/discussion and you dont’t see it in my “to-analyse list” please SHARE IT with me. I’ll gladly add topic or two to my thought processes.
Topics
The topics will cover every imaginable Steem-related aspect. I’m going to speak about Steem economy, possible protocol changes and its (positive/negative) impacts, Proof-of-brain, improvement of decentralized community’s execution ability, censorship resistance, Ned and the powerdown drama, decentralized development, SteemDAC and ???.
Steem economy
Here I’ll mainly talk about the token value, what had the biggest impact on it and how to retain value in the Blockchain, potentially how to gain more. I haven’t given this topic much thought previously, but @starkerz with his dope analysis kinda opened my eyes.
Protocol changes
There definitely is a lot to discuss. What I recently had in mind was the idea of 50% curation reward, what would happen if we went back from linear reward curve and most importantly the idea reassessing the distribution of minted Steem. Most pressing is then the need to form a decentralized governance model that would enable us to allocate funds for the development, but that probably deserves its own article (maybe more). I have also come by this article about Proof-of-brain. It is still yet to be comprehended by me. Anyway it feels like a great futuristic vision which’s contribution to the Steem discussion shouldn’t be disregarded.
There were many articles that already contributed to the discussion. Those that I have come by (and highly recommend) were @soyrossa and her ideas about the improvement of our community execution, @reggaemufin (here) and @blocktrades framework for the decentralized development and @lukestokes SteemDAC.
Censorship and powerdown drama
Lastly I want to add to the discussion about the latest drama that has taken place on our Blockchain. There is no community without its drama and Steem is no exception it seems. I shall treat the topic for what it is - just a drama.
And that’s it! Is there anything that I missed? Please let me know? I’ll gladly add it to the table of content. Writing time ahead!:)
Great to see you back! Looking forward to reading ur work, hope the rest of ur exams went well! Thanks for thinking about Steem as a sustainable coin. I look forward to ur ideas!

Ofc they went well bud:P
I can totally relate to University making interacting with the platform challenging. I often have to take breaks as well. I've found that the Partiko app helps make it easier. You can post, vote and comment from your phone rather than a computer. I think you've covered the big topics happening as of late. I myself havent really kept up with everything so I cant say if you've missed anything else. I'm not a great judge of that lol. Good to have you back though!!

Until recently I didnt have smartphone lol so i could use that...truth be told i downlaoded partiko but didnt start using it yet...but i can see how it could help when it would be needed.
No smart phone makes it a bit challenging. Once you start using it, it's all you'll use hahaha
