It is going to be interesting to figure out if we can make this site have commercial desirability.
I do think we are in the right place at the right time, but we don't fit the mold of what people are used to when they invision "Social Media".
and thank god. social media is full of marketers still telling people to make 'content' -- we have to move so far passed that, i'm looking forward to seeing what hf20 and velocity will bring and what kinds of writers, creators and knowledge sharers will come then. i'm still super happy to have found steem and believe this is still the early years.
Trying to digest this, what do you mean btw?
i'm just jaded of the 'content creators' coming in. i've been in social in some shape or another working for a brand as an advocate and seen a massive influx of people saying they are social brand managers and community managers when last year they were doing something completely different. maybe it's my jadeness and i need to clean up my news feed but i see SO many people on upwork looking for video editors to 'clean up' their content and make it viral it's overwhelming. so if i was not clear, pre-coffee.
also i feel like we have pockets of people probably in the right places already, i'm fine for people to stay over there on facebook. they are mainly consumers not creators anyway, the internet is facebook in some senses to them i guess, i'd just like reddit to have steemit smt tokens bolted in to the comments and then it's game on! :)
Sign up -> Subscribe to communities (when it's out) -> Be engaged and thrive.
But yeah, different ballgame for sure. I don't think we can expect it to be pure "social media"
communities is gonna be nice, i'm hoping to find more people to collab with on projects because of it.
Russia has similar site to this, but without money motivation. There is a lot more interesting. People almost always comment your comment. You can make easely 70 comments per day. Join 5 - 10 good quality conversations.
And you know why? They have X10 user base.
Good breakdown! I have a background in traditional finance, and now I'm trying to get mt mind around the cryptocurrency and blockchain concept. From what I've seen so far, it seems like a natural evolution as we change to a social media driven world where attention to your FB or IG page literally is the same as currency.
Have fun while you're at it! There are plenty of interesting discussions, although I'm hoping to see more use cases soon! :)
"Plus, I've never seen any other communities on the Internet that's so eager to give."
Here here. That's why I am here to stay myself.
Puts the human factor in Steem that's for sure, which is my exact reply to a friend when I told him to read up on Steem and he was like, "Aye all predictions on market are bullshit. Not even bots can capture the data properly."
one of your best articles yet. You always come with a small surprise stat, as it seems it is only a matter of time to see steem market cap growing bigger.
I'm tired of talking about cryptos haha. Not sure if my numbers are right but it should be around the ballpark. Now we need more front-end applications and communities. Steemit can look very messy sometimes, serious investors would be confused.
You are a wise man @kevinwong I believe this even more after reading your post. Really I always knew you were. I like your positive outlook and I agree with you on what you are saying.
Steemit is moving fast and so are all of us.
I just do a lot of yapping xD But thanks, appreciate your vote of confidence :) Your turbo GIF just gave steem some more horsepower that it needs lol
I hope they add an option on our wallets to block random strangers from spammy transactions.
great suggestion..
In every moment, personally and my organization introduced Steem to various parties in Indonesia. My work keeps me traveling a lot in different cities. They are still many who do not understand steem, also because there is no crypto currency in crypto transaction account in Indonesia.
However, we believe Steem will achieve its glory in the midst of many transactions. We still keep Steem and be patient waiting for the steam boom like bitcoin. Thanks for the interesting article @kevinwong.
You mean money exchanges for crypto?
Haha I hope so too. Thanks for contributing to the platform as always @ayijufridar!
Steemians in Indonesia do cypto transactions in vip-bitcoin with 20 types of cryptocurrency. However, I noticed there is no Steem option there. If there is, of course, the transaction with Steem will be higher.
I don't monitor Steem transactions in other markets in Indonesia, other than in vip-bitcoin. Thanks for your response @kevinwong. You are so popular in Indonesia and everybody know you. Cheers ...!
I have a lot of hopes on Steem. I believe that it will be as powerful like Bitcoin now! And i hope that Dtube will work better soon 😁😁, cos as i see a lot of people have problems with it.
Yea dtube is just frustrating. Great Dev but I think ipfs isn’t matured enough yet for an acceptable streaming experience
That's true! I hope it will be improved soon for a better using :)))
The growth of steemit was really spectacular a few months ago (at least according to alexa https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/steemit.com) but it seems to have stagnated in the past few months. Hopefully, the communities feature will help it explode again and with the help of projects like utopian-io it will moon beyond our imaginations :D
Steemit is really interesting and it has so much appeal to so many user groups. People will eventually realize that Steemit is a far better place to display content than Facebook. When more people join get involved and possibly join a few trails. The activity will explode here.
I think people are only buying Bitcoin because it's famous. Steem has way more utility.
Oh shit , I should call my drug dealer because he is doing it all wrong brb. About Steem no comments everyone should try it because it is hot and ...
Your pharmaceutical agent will thank you later. Get them to try Steem as well while you're at it!
Pharmaceutical agent lol. He is definetely going to love it if I start to call him like that
Great read here @kevinwong, I agree on that Steem is more invested and linked with people while most of the other cryptocurrencies do not have other value propositions. That is great in one way as it has its unique point to stay relevant in the future. I myself is not a technical person to understand crypto works, but then after immersing myself in Steemit and other platforms, slowly catching up.
The mining infrastructure will definitely evolve, but how it migrates to the next generation mining infrastructure is the key to see which cryptocurrency will become obsolete. Helpful info for a layman like me :)
Thanks!
Yeah I've thinking, what happens if there's a sudden breakthrough in cheap, intensive, and renewable energy? Imo, BTC generally has price support because miners wouldn't sell lower than the cost involved.
Btw, which other communities in the sphere you're into?
Welcome bro, for now is 98% Steemit while 2% of exploration, reading white papers. Recently, I came across open source university backed by its own crypto and also Mindsport that use its own crypto to support the board game platform. Likewise, if it is purely analytical and technical involvement, there is a barrier for me, so didn’t put time for that 😂
Ya, true, but no one can tell. Have to wait and see. Yet, interesting to keep an eye on.
The potential of steemit for positive change in lives of anyone willing to participate is still what makes Steem THE Cryptocurrency out there. Right now we are at only one small fraction of things to come, I strongly believe this and with time we will only improve.
Steem is still a messy pile of **** lol, but for the best I guess. If we had structures earlier on we wouldn't discovered its potential
I am really not a tycoon, but I believe in Steem, Steemit & DTube!
;-)
Everyone's a tycoon! Ah DTube, I wish I could finish watching a video there. Rarely works for me, unfortunately.
With the last update Dtube got a noticeable enhancement. It loads everything much faster. It goes forward... ;-)
" A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star and captures most or all of its power output." Scary stuff
#saveoursun
I could see the Greenpeace of 2100 tweeting this. Lol
communities is gonna be nice, i'm hoping to find more people to collab with on projects because of it.
I believe in steemit. It's going to beat bitcoin pretty soon I'm sure :)
Real awesome comparison, it helps a lot in better understanding the platform. For me the mystery is why has steem been relatively "ignored" by investors so.
the transactions speeds are blazing fast though ;)
Encouraging to learn that "Steem is currently ahead of the pack with the highest rate of transactions as well. It just means that the network is very active in the cryptosphere." Onwards, upwards!
In fact I was really addicted in steemit now. Today i was really suffer without electricity, couldn't log into steemit.
What I found is, many people many minds as I do like decentralize platform but there must be some centralize regulatory authority to moderate what's going on. I don't need to say as we all know everyone here is doing what they like to rather than taking time to read other persons content. I guess Steemit is loosing it's charm and there many reasons for that.
All the more reason to try to produce something that'll cut through the $$$. In the beginning of any platform, there's always a population problem. Community features will help people find their groups later on..
I guess you are correct "Community features will help people find their groups later on.."
People at Steemit will find their own way to build a helpful community.
@kevinwong, I really agreed your point when you sharing this blog. steemit giving real helpful service for increase our earn rewards. I believe this is real place to me and lot of hopes have mine of about steemit blockchain. I will be here most of future time if haven't lot troubles. Past period more difficulties here but immediately solve problems. I`m really excited steemit has better developing team.
Steemit is very popular and best beneficiary social media platform in the world.
Good info and informative video. I'm banking on SMT's to bring even more value to Steem. I'll be here HODLing away.
Im sure SMT will be a game changer. It will creata a huge demand for steem and attract a lot of new investors. To the moon we go !
I am also excited about the potential of smt's. Have thry been launched yet? Haven't heard of any ico's yet so I guess there still working on it
I heard it will start in the beginning of next year hopefully that's when we will see things take off !
Thanks . Gives us some time to get some more before the launch.
haha true that !
if we compare bitcoin with steem we see steem is way ahead in technology also, i think bitcoin has so many flaws it has higher tx fees and also very very slow confirmations and now i heard it's mining consumes huge amount of electricity as well but our lovely steem has lighting fast speed and no tx fees as well and also it consumes no electricity as it is mined with proof of brain, so in my opinion steem is the No. 1 and the best cryptocurrency and once peoples gains awareness and trust on steem it is much likely that the huge momentum will be shifted back on steem as well. thanks for sharing this nice information with us, Stay awesome.
Wow what a nice post Kevin...as a steemian, I am positively optimistic on the future...keep up the good posts and do not forget to see my latest post for a crypto video bounty...happy weekend.
STEEM indeed is addictive like drugs!
Take it, it's yummy!
Unfortunately currencies in the boom we are in Morocco have been banned bitcon deal
How to ban Bitcoin? Impossible..
Prohibiting the dealing of a proven credit holder of a homeowner shall be his own prison
Very good analysis. For me, Steemit is also the platform where I learn about crypto. If Bitcoin has rise up to USD10,000, Steem should be able to hit the USD100, it is just a matter of when.
It will be a great day if we get to $100
these one is quite interesting
it is interesting
Spot on @Kevinwong.
I really wonder what else will it take for Steemit to reach the user base of Reddit. Till today i'm still baffled at the sheer volume of users on reddit and why haven't more of them jumped over to Steemit. Any thoughts why?
You do a wonderful job, keep up with it, so you were well-liked.
i follow you.
@kevinwong I see, the more payments on the post, the more steam transactions.
thank you for posting this.
Good post friend @kevinwong
Hey @kevinwong I believe that it will be as powerful like Bitcoin now,,,, And i hope that Dtube will work better soon I appreciate your post 👌 I

Making a way to make the price of steem go up should attract a lot more people but I think it will come someday soon.
Awesome analysis of Steem! I'm super stoked for the future of Steem! :)
