The Landscape of Social Media is changing and it is changing rapidly.

For the last 12 years people have given up their time for FREE to post, blog, like, dislike, share and interact with Social Media..!!

This is all about to change..!!

Thanks again for reading.

I agreed with all you said.
I never write on Facebook anymore it goes against the grain. If I use FB to send messages to friends who are still on there.
But you are right, I think once people "get" Steemit it will shake things up.

I hope Facebook will NOT make a crypto-coin as they could steal the space maybe? However, perhaps if they do, people might realize that they have been cheated/swindled for years and thus have a negative effect-
Also, the mainstream population who use FBook are still a bit suspicious of crypto currency and see it as a form of criminal money.

On the other hand if FB introduced a crypto coin that would change the world view of Crypto curency over night - ie : "If Facebook thinks crypto currency is OK then so must Bitcoin be OK as that was the first"
There would be no going back after that for the genie would be let out of the bottle and thus have enormous consequences on fiat currency.
I mean with over a billion users on Facebook, an FB crypto coin would be a world currency overnight. Thats the kind of thing that could upset the financial world as we know it.
Not sure the banks would like that o I wonder if Zuckerberg has to think very carefully what he does.

Great interview Stephen. You are a great advocate for Steemit

Thanks. I appreciate it. Steemit has not even scratched the surface yet. In 5-7 years STEEMIT will look and feel nothing like it does today. The concept will be EXACTLY the same but the Ecosystem will be totally different. Stephen

For sure. Exciting times ahead if we dont get blown to pieces by China lol!

I understand you are trying to make a point And It's A Good Point...But I ask that give it some thought ( I think your math s a bit skewed. And as far as sharing for free; I feel sorry for the generations to come; that used to be called normal human interaction. A few generations from now; humans will demand payment for a simple smile or a simple, real life conversation! Where is this all going)? Will you all become Computer Hu-Bots? Implanted as Google slaves, with nothing but brains pushing a Zuckerberger agenda? Think man Think!

"I think your math s a bit skewed." Please explain for a numpty like me? Stephen

If I tsake (forget the zero's) 2.8x3=8.4! Just a math thing! liked you post...I am older and concerned of the stitude of never shaing and always wanting payment. I came from a ime when sharing and caring was simply a normal function of a human living within a community. And it just breaks my heart to see that many seem to have lost that basic care, compassion and ability to give a crap an=bout others (unless; of corse, those others have the ability to pay for that care and compassion)!! It's gone a bit out of control because there is a massive devide between those who have and who do ot have. It's been setup that way and it is highly destructive to the human pyschi!

Good luck with your maths..!! I'm sticking FIRMLY with my 3.06 trillion hours..!! In 5-7 years time anyone doing well on Steemit now will be rewarded hugely. Stephen

Another excellent post Stephen showing the potential for SteemIt and its benefit to the people blogging.

Steem on,
Mike

Thanks Mike. I wanted to share again the interview I did last September with World Alternative Media about Steemit. I know my regular followers may be tired of seeing it but I think for new followers to my blog it is important just see just how far we have come in little over 5 months since the interview. As always. Cheers Mike. Stephen
