You just hint on the possible things affecting the platform and it will be a great pleasure for Ned to get things done on time. If steem continues like this and at the end the other big competitor eventually gets the Nod first, it will be a big battle for steem.
On a more serious note, the competition will be much and every PLATFORM will try to give their platform the best. It is a good thing that competition will come up, but steem have to prepare for the future and that should be done fast, if eventually we planning to head to the moon.
TAKE a look at Eos, you can see they doing well without their platform, what if the platform is lunched?,
On lighter note, if we wants to moon, things should be done on time. I am really happy seeing Ned trying to get steem more familiarise. I believe in him and with all this token, things can be gotten right.
yes i'm mostly guessing. eos has a giant obstacle ahead in june, which is bp voting. i dunno how that's gonna go but if it goes through, anybody can start building other versions of steemit on top of eos.
everything including decentralization of eos from himself.@dan will probably be the one to build a major competitor because success with eos means people will trust him. he's been pretty consistent in promoting decentralization in
but we haven't seen eos succeed yet. its block producers must work together to launch a new blockchain without any hiccups. i also have to assume those who didn't get the position will launch blockchains on their own. possibly causing massive conflicts amongst themselves and confuse users.
so i don't wanna say eos is the future. at least not yet. we'll see what happens in june. i have some money in eos too (but steem is my biggest investment). i'm not rich, so unless either one goes absolutely crazy, i won't have any meaningful gains.
i dunno how @ned is gonna ensure multiple SMTs (meaningful ones) but he keeps on saying it, so i guess i'll have to take his word for it. in my eyes, currently, steemit is the coolest social platform that rewards content creators directly with crypto.
