RE: Happy Birthday Steem!

in #steem5 years ago

Thank you for the well thought out and lengthy response. Is it fair to say that your summarized opinion on steem is that it has a good chance to go up in value?

Sort:  

Good chance, yes. I just replied somewhere earlier today i was thinking ad-revenue but i think exclusives to the platform would help a lot. Paid services or apps that require people to "have" liquid steem (preferably ... you can peg it to a dollar price but ask to pay in steem).
As steemit itself is probably one of the biggest sellers it would be imperative they get a second source of revenue other than selling off steem.
I'm a bit loathe to make predictions. All coins were in the green, BTC on the rise but i don't see a ripple coming down the hill. Maybe there's a temporary aversion (risk-wise?) to altcoins and everyone's going for the "gold". On the other hand steem is not just an altcoin, its a utility token/coin. The possibilities seem to have been barely explored. It's gonna be up to the entrepreneurs to do and its gonna be up to the trending section marketeers to tell entrepreneurs why they want to do it.
And i think it's up to steemit to make sure they stay ahead by a lightmile on the tek-side ... That's three factions already ... :p

I would maybe dare give a cautious response like "it has a lot more chance to grow than most of the altcoins do"

but there's no guarantee to anything, not even mighty BTC itself. If apps keep coming and people keep adopting it and find new ways it almost certainly should although since it is a utility token i would not expect it to rise to $20k like btc did but that's also pretty much impossible to say for sure.

Now you are probably not the wiser than you were at the beginning of the reply but i'm not by far an expert.
Exclusive products ... payment systems (its fast after all and the transactions are free) and targeted non-hostile advertising is the best i could think of.
But implementation of that is above my paygrade lol , i mean level ...
or maybe onboarding a few serious brandnames who can slug it out against eachother with steempower and promo-stunts but i'm not sure it will be easy to convince big names to come to a relatively small platform ..
anyway ...

gtg ... food on the stove , i certainly believe in it but its people that are going to have to make it happen, take care !!!!!!!

oh ... just remembered, i always thought they should give Gabe "lord Gaben" Newell of Steam a call to see what's possible qua integration ... micropayments, lightning fast, secure, transaction-free but i dont have his number

definitely goodbye or my veggies are gonna turn brown now , cya around !!!!

Good stuff. Thanks.

Regarding bitcoin and $20k, I think it blows that out of the water even though it won't be web 3.0. Bitcoin will be a universal store of value and that is why people will own it. The platform coins will have all the cool stuff built on them.

I just hope steem can be one of them...

there's no reason why it can't be :) but competition won't grow down over time probably. It's gonna be a serious case of eternal vigilance

Well that hit the spot ... i think its really there "people have to do it". The higher teams should sit down and start asking questions in brainstormsessions like : "why would the winklevoss twins wanna buy a wad of steem?" or "how can we convince buffett that steem is NOT poison but a lot more possibilities than simply speculation?" or "How can we convince greenpeace to put a banner because they did on flixxo so what did they have to get both them and coca-cola in it before they even had a client?"
Best of all "How can we tell government x or y they need it?" or "borderless, who cares for that keyword?" and stuff like that

Stuff like that i guess, i never been in a boardroom or a company strategy meeting lol, im just topping it off my hat ... time for my nap ... hope you got anything out of it here. It's supply and demand, someone has to create demand which at the very first is making sure everyone knows it's available. Best situation you can get is i guess something like apple, start with innovation over salespitch in a garage and end up with a product people stand in line for for 48 hours on a next-release because "everybody wants it" ...
I wish i knew some people in high places but that's not me, but i'm sure a few here around must know a guy who knows a guy ... cos there you got your avalanche pebble : "the winklevoss twins bought bitcoin so it MUST have potential :)" ...
stuff like that, sorry im rambling now, a bit tired ... good night to you, sir until next time

or maybe (all good things in three) ... you get your
a) lightning fast
b) flawless somewhere below quantum entanglement lol

but you need steempower for bandwidth -> in order to transmit data
Give Grant Cardone a call, tell him he can have a share if he sells it, then he can tell his 100 or more employees the last ten to come up with an idea are fired for that extra motivation ... there should be ample things to list before you start scrapping i hope ...
im out of my comfort zone here lol i think i better really go horizontal now, sorry for the triple spam i'm not in the habit of chewing over the things i say first ... i think maybe the essence would be selling the steemchain first over steem , maybe ... never mind sorry im out tschuess...
