It always come downs to hardwork, consistency and perseverance to achieve any type of success in ventures like this. It should not be any different, if so, there is really no value to obtain from it. I have found it so interesting that while other blockchain projects have focused on marketing first and technology second, Steem (or Steemit Inc) has not been out there marketing the platform which I believe is a success considering the amount of transactions performed on a daily basis and a growing ecosystem. This imbalance is probably why Steem is no longer in the top 10 asset while protocols with no working blockchain are more valuable.

I agree @newageinv, while I appreciate platforms which wait until they are developed to a certain point to market themselves, there's no harm in getting exposure, and showing off something half-baked to come back a year later with improvements, people respect improvement and we should trust people to take second and third looks at something. It takes years for brands to become trusted on a wide scale (though there are exceptions to this, why?).
look at the game fortnite. Isnt that still beta?
Great point - I haven't looked into how they marketed...
I support your point. A lot of initiatives on here are geared towards fast results. Steem is barely 3years old, give it time. Let's develop and improve on our new and existing effort. Steem will stand the test of time. We are technocrats here, not. Bunch of greedy capitalists (no offense) trying to make ill-gotten gains. I would prefer we don't sell anything at all than sell a half-baked blockchain. Maybe it has worked for many, but we can do things differently and better

we can do things better, but look at the game fortnite, thats only half baked and still in beta and they are marketing the heck out of it. beta apps can still attract a lot of new users.
Okay steemit inc have been weak on marketing, but maybe we dont really need them to do it. Im really thinking a fund and a marketing team working for all of the apps could be a really good idea.
