RE: Powerdown Statistics #10 - April 23rd - May 6th - Vested STEEM has gone up!
The powerups are encouraging.
I am part of that along with the usual middle class suspects, but sometimes I wonder whether we're living in some kind of steem, or even broader crypto bubble!
Rankings on State of the Dapps are one thing, but active users are still tiny!
I just don't get what it is that's stopping broader adoption!
I'm gonna dig around for some actual proper sociological research if there is any.

Truth be told, I think the whole space, in general, is much smaller than we think it is. I've only recently started to accept this. Lot's of work to do.
TBH the active user figures on state of the dapps did shock me... then again at least it's not just steem that's struggling.
The London blockchain conference a couple of weeks back wasn't exactly packed out and the latest London crypto conference was cancelled due to lack of intrest.
Lots of enthusiasm and networking among converts but much less interest from people on the outside it seems.
Still, time to buy in - just never more than 10% of my monthly income.

I get the sense that most ppl just dont get it. The concept of blockchain is a paradigm shift they are not willing to embrace yet. They are comfortable doing what they do because it is their comfortable normal. Most ppl are so busy in their world doing what they do they dont have time to learn and do something different. It's an odd stroke of "luck" that i have had that space to get involved. Though the first moment i learned of blockchain i wanted to be on board with it. Though it took about 4 years and Steem was certainly the means to do that. So glad to be here! All the best in your endeavour to research, i am curious to know what you'll find!
I guess at least as far as social media blockchains are concerned most people don't think about their data being stored by one big company in a handful of locations!
Perhaps what we need is some blockbuster Movie where a 'Facebook' type company goes down and everyone's social media profiles disappears - but it's decentralised blockchain to the rescue!
Yes! I think you're on to something with this idea! Or some movie star/ famous person needs to start promoting it. No one's listening to me LOL 🤷♀️
