Dear @indigoocean
I also like watching Andreas speaches. He brought so much value into this space.
The only reason you use it is to remove the 3rd party.
Well. All benefits coming from removing that 3rd party are actual reasons. I think.
I honestly wish Steemit Inc. invested quite a bit more in marketing really.
Currently it seem that @Ned doesnt want Steemit to exist much longer and he would rather focus on developing STEEM blockchain only :(
ps.
I've been surfing youtube a while ago and I've found one influencer which content I found very valuable and interesting. Especially if you're planning to be an influencer yourself.
It's min long but first 2 min are enough. Check it out:
And ENJOY your NY Celebrations.
I believe that 2019 will be difficult and challenging. Hope you will go through it without any real difficulties. I was really a pleasure to get to know you this year.
Yours

Ned wants to focus on the backend and not the frontend, which is fine. That's a legitimate decision. He hasn't been very good at developing the frontend, so best to leave that to those who excel there. Hopefully he will be good at managing the increasing decentralization of the backend while still keep things stable enough in the process for the overall project to succeed.
I'm not a Gary V. fan and also am not even remotely interested in becoming any more influential than I already am. My approach is the opposite of his, really. But I'm glad some people find him motivating. It's good to find motivation wherever it can be had.
I hope you have a fabulous 2019 yourself. Great to "meet" you.
Hi @indigoocean
oh so you knew Gary V. before? Somehow I cannot watch most of his videos but this particular one I enjoyed.
Would you mind telling me what is your approach?
I like the most that he underlined how important it is to engage with your audience. That's partly why I decided to share this video with several people (you included).
All the best
Piotr
In all honesty, I didn't watch the video. I don't like Gary V. Yeah I'm quite familiar with him because I used to be a business consultant and he's a very popular business guru, so his stuff is all over the place. I would sum up our difference as that he is for motivation (to the point of self-abuse) while I am for inspiration. I believe in leaving room for the magic.
