Acti: Are You Taking Advantage Of The Opportunity? This Could Be Huge For STEEM!!!

Many people complain that the early adopters have all the power on STEEM. That is a statement that is hard to argue. Early adopters tend to be rewarded to a greater degree than those who come in later. This simply is how it works. People who recognize an opportunity before others tend to see their holdings increase as the masses come in later.

That said, my question is if people are truly taking advantage of what is before them?

About a month ago, we had an announcement of a token that was going to be created using the SMT protocol and will reside on the STEEM blockchain. This application, names Actifit, made a generous offer to Steemians as a way to earn tokens via delegation, upvoting and resteeming, and utilization.

The account is @actifit.

Being a fitness app, the first couple weeks saw it operate mainly for walking. After an update which made the app more sensitive, it became an application that rewards users for moving. This opened up a new area that included dancing, walking, house cleaning, and even doing sit ups.

The fitness arena is huge. Probably the biggest name in wearable fitness bands is Fitbit. This company saw enormous growth over the past 5 years as shows by this chart.

This single application has over 25M users. Can you imagine if Actifit is able to just garner 1% of that market. Of course, this does not include all the other wearables and smart phone applications that are out there. It is easily a 50M+ market.

With a market that large, is 250K users really that far-fetched? We have to take into account the fact that Actifit pays users for their activity. To my knowledge, none of the other applications do at this point.

From their original introduction post, we have this gem:

We are looking into integrating with other APIs which could enhance and expand the experience of tracking fitness data, particularly via other wearables.

This could really be of benefit to everyone involved with this application. If they can integrate with some of the other fitness wearables, it could really grow the number of users. This would not only enhance Actifit but all of STEEM.

Here is the chance to be an early adopter.

The team allocated 700K ACTI tokens per week to be distributed to people who delegate. This is in addition to the 100 tokens that are awarded to each 10K daily activity (which scales down from there to 20 tokens for 5K).

Thus far, according to yesterday's post, there were over 333K ACTI issued to 5,000 token holders.

The number of total tokens is not set yet but it is rumored to be between 1B-2B. At this point, only having 333K issued to token holders mean we are very early in this game. If someone wants to be an early adopter, this is it.

Here we have one of those applications that has some potential. Fitness monitoring is something that has taken off the last few years. Adding the tokenization to it really makes it attractive. Even among just Steemians, this could be really big.

A person utilizing the application on a daily basis and reaching the target of 10K, would earn 36,500 ACTI tokens over a year. If we are using the 1B tokens, this would be a total 4 times the size of STEEM. Hence, that 36K would be the equivalent of 9K STEEM in terms of the percentage of tokens outstanding. While I fully expect a difference in the price of the tokens, that is not a bad placement simply for moving around.

The team is doing updates and additions on a weekly basis. This is really helpful in moving the project forward. So far, no outside marketing took place simply because of the sign up delay with STEEM. This is probably a good idea. Nevertheless, there are a few athletes who already agreed to work with and promote Actifit. As this group grows, it could really provide some valuable exposure.

Ultimately, being a SMT means that this token will be paired with STEEM. That is very advantageous since it will provide liquidity. This gives the token holder a choice of whether to keep the Actifit or swap it for STEEM. At worst, this could be a great way to grow one's STEEM account.

Finally, everyone who posts from the application with a count of 5K or more receives an upvote from the Actifit account. This is presently an account that is a good size Dolphin and heading towards Orca (37K SP). It is another way to help your STEEM account along.

To me, this should be a no brainer for any smaller account. It is ultimately will reward your account in so many different ways.

If you have an Android phone, I suggest you download it from Google Play (IOS is being worked on). It will help your health, your wealth, and the STEEM blockchain.

A win-win-win.
