RE: STEEM Is Not A Social Media Platform
There. I said it. As much as I love creating, and as much as I hate to say it, blogging on STEEM is not going to pay the bills, or even provide me a nice retirement. Getting businesses selling stuff in STEEM and people buying in STEEM, however, will.
This is just the truth but a lot of people would prefer the social aspect to the business aspect.
Hey, @maxwellmarcusart.
Truth to tell, I enjoy blogging and creating more than setting up and running a business. So, that's fine. Not everyone is cut out to be a business person. Most aren't. And in reality, we're talking about bringing established businesses to STEEM, or connecting them in some fashion, just as much as we are having startups.
The idea is, however many human users there truly are here are here with some amount of STEEM and could start using it rather than just holding all of it or liquidating it into fiat. It would be slow at first, and it would take time for everyone to build it up, but along with business comes jobs, and so people could work and start earning in STEEM, too, not just through the social or investment side of things.
Right now, the best jobs are being paid to review reports for steemcleaners and also being paid for curating. I guess Steemit probably could be paying their employees in STEEM (though it could also be fiat). At any rate, onchain it's the former. We need more commerce of some kind. Even if it's a garage sale or ebay kind of deal. Goods and services that aren't all linked to curating and cleaning spam.
I just hope in the near future people will start adopting this method and incorporating their business with steemit.
To add to your suggestion, I think it would also help in expanding people's business horizons.
