RE: Empowering Human Genius
"adoption" is a word usually applied to cryptocurrency, as you also use word Steem.
while I was talking about Steemit platform. "adoption" is not really applicable to a platform. :)
STEEM coin by itself - doesn't show a lot of success comparing to many other cryptos.
as for Steemit - yes, it does have certain success, but mostly exactly due to that reason you've mentioned: that it was a first to make social network by using new technology of blockchain and crypto as rewards. yet it has still a long way to go to at least level of FB, YT, IG, etc.
not to mention newly emerging similar platforms.
its creator Dan has moved on, because as he said in one of interviews, certain issues can't be solved in existing system...
"STEEM coin by itself - doesn't show a lot of success comparing to many other cryptos" it's one of the most used daily Cryptos. To build Trust and Relationships.
"yet it has still a long way to go to at least level of FB, YT, IG, etc." you are aware that Facebook started in 2004? Instagram that came in 2010 is only around 2018 starting to be adopted by people to create a business around it. YouTube is from 2005. Only now 2018 businesses are starting to dive deeper into it and this Brand thing. That will say looking at Steem time frame in short term says nothing. As you need 5-10 years analytics.
"its creator Dan has moved on" so? The code is not dependent on Humans anymore, now it's all about proof-of-brain from Humans, how good they are at networking and building Trust and Relationships and use that leverage. Dan is looking at bigger tasks. Which is good that he does.
Steem Blockchain is just a small thing in a world that has bigger global issues. So you need people that dive into the larger things. As what he now does with EOS.
