I agree absolutely.
Let's hope for a significant turn around - soon. :)
But what's going to be the catalyst for the turn around, that's the key question.
I think Steemit needs to become more "social" as well as "Crypto" - Of course we want this community to be part of the Crypto community, but until it also becomes a social or business place to really hangout, like Facebook, LinkenIn or others, I'm not sure we'll have the up surge we are looking for.
Time will tell.
This present downward trend of STEEM is nothing to do with steemit but to overall crypto market. Due to upcoming big fork (free coins) and BTC derivative in CME, BTC is driving crazy. Traders and speculators are selling all their alticoins (e.g. STEEM) for bigger gain in BTC. In fact, steemit has made some good improvements and steemfest is celebrated, it supposed to be a positive trend for STEEM. Until BTC stabilizes, this trend will not break.
Thanks for that insight. That's good news about the improvements coming. I'm now following you. :)
Yeah. It needs to evolve. I took a look at the timeline for Facebook, and I guess, fortunately, it took quite a lot of years for it to be HUGE. 2006-2013. But we have to probably realize that things go quicker today than 10 years ago. But we should still give Steemit a few more years. I just hope the developers are developing, developing, developing ;)
Thanks for the reply,
I agree, I really hope the developers are working very hard to add functionality, look, feel and other improvements.
Of course, we've just had an upgrade which has helped, but much more needs to be done. I believe it will be and being here early is a good thing.
