RE: 7 Questions For Steemit Success!

in #steemit7 years ago

In regards to the third question, I don't think its fair to box Steem into a the same category as social networks. Obviously, right now, that's what it is; Well SteemIt at least. But personally I don't really see Youtube/Dtube as social networks in the same way. I think by those standards every website that has a comment section is a social network.

With that in mind, @heimindanger not only provided the community with a great extension to Steem, but also made more of us aware that the Steem blockchain really could be much more than a social network.

I think it may be more akin - at its core - to an Online Reputation provider like Deemly. Deemly basically provides an online 'trustworthy-ness' scale. And I think thats kind of what Steem is.

Steem is the reputation provider and a token; Steemit is an extension that acts like a social network, Dtube is an extension that acts like a video hosting provider.

With this perspective, I would say that Steem has the entire pie, not a slice.

Thanks for the video!

Rad! This is the kind of angles I love to hear. I did you a very broad stroke with labeling Steemit a social media platform like Facebook. I actually consider it more akin to Reddit.

I like how you mentioned Dtube being an extension of Steemit.
It's proof that Steemit can branch in many more directions. The Dtube angle could just be the first door that opens.

Really we can look at Steemit as a platform from which to build all kinds of social interface.

A trustworthiness or reputation provider is yet another angle.

So, in reality Steemit does have a very large portion of a small market. They are one of the only blockchain players in a market that is being invented as we speak.

Cheers. Thanks for your insight.
