CoolBLogLuke,
Sounds like you got some real insight. I'd like to bounce a feeling off you:
I spoke to Ned at his SMT meetup in SF. I asked him his happiest moment since the inception of steemit. He said, "launching the smt. It's going to change the internet."
This comment has deeper meaing...
Let's take a step back. Steemit.com is only a proof of concept. This platform seems to be small potatoes in a bigger ecosystem.
I feel like I don't want to buy in too hard and be married to this one platform. (My wife and I both quit our jobs to GO FOR IT on steemit)
So I'm invested and love it, but I feel like there's some writing on the wall.
If Ned and SMT's are the story,
isn't Steemit.com just a proof of concept for the real platform that will soon arrive and supplant us?
There's going to be startups like Appics coming out of the woodwork to use what Steemit built and make it better.
Totally, not hating. I love Steemit. But your thoughts on being nimble would be appreciated.
I think you're coming to a similar conclusion that I was coming to. This is just the beginning and there may be 1000's of sites that use STEEM via SMT tokens, all doing various things which surround the "tokenize the web" vision. The answer, I think, isn't one site to rule them all but instead one blockchain for them all to thrive.
You and your wife quitting your job to post on a social media site may have been quite a bit premature, IMO.
For sure. That's a good way to put it. One blockchain to let them all thrive. The space will change every day.
haha. your IMO is right on.
We're chasing and overall crypto dream. I invest, advise, and vlog for ICO's. She runs a small business and homesteads, so we're not Steemit lunatics. Hahah.
I have devoted the majority of my personal time and resources to the blockchain space though. But I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm down for the risk. It's life and it's a movement. Proud to be a part of it.
Awesome! Glad to know you're not Steemit lunatics. Heheh. :)
It's definitely a super exciting space to be in. My business partner and I have certainly considered shifting our focus to something blockchain related.
