Brilliant work Stephen in explaining what I am also constantly trying to evangelize about this place. With non-tech people I struggle to explain it's vastness and all the possibilities beyond a couple example apps that already exist like steemit itself.
With more technical people I can use vaguely similar analogies to explain at least the potential, and leaving crypto currencies completely out of it, and the block chain, I tell them it's like being a partner in wordpress in like 2004 (WP was released in 2003). Now look at the theme and plugin and support and consulting and add-on and related industries that have come from that one tiny "blogging app" now, a couple decades later more or less. And this is that sort of thing on 100000x scale. A global, global economics changing, world changing scale.
The block chain and cryptos are to the world now, what the internet was in 1995. Mark our words, this is the future, maybe not steemit.com but things just like it and this one has early mover advantage. We'll see. I'm sold out for it and 100% full time committed to making steem block chain apps even now and focused, hocus pocus, on a magical future.
"The blockchain and cryptos are to the world now, what the internet was in 1995." NAILED IT..!! Stephen
I was there in 1995. In 1997, Mr. Inventor of the Internet himself, then VP Al Gore, and his good buddy President Bill Clinton gave me a presidential Hammer award for contributions to efficiency, in my case, by creating software systems for some specific agencies and the GAO.
So yeah, I know it when I see and it seems, you get it too! Spread the word! See you in the steem!
