The hottest social media of 2017! Can you believe that?

The momentum seems to be back, the attention seems to be here, just a few days ago Fred Wilson was suggesting that Medium should look at steem.

Can you imagine the day when everyone starts putting their content on the steem Blockchain?

2017 seem to be the year of the attention economy, and hopefully steem will be a really hot commodity.

But for now, let us just celebrate this small victory because Rolling Stone Australia has just released their annual Hot List.

Fellow steemians, it has been great growing together and not giving up on the steem dream we all share.

Hopefully between all of us we can make 2017 the year of steem, meanwhile I wish you all a great weekend!

Special thanks to @neilstrauss for writing the amazing original story on steemit on Rolling Stone US, and for everything he has done before and after.

With that in mind, whatever this post generate will be donated to one of Neil’s favorite charities, Doctors Without Borders.

That's awesome!

Hey! Great to hear from you again Maya :)

Sorry I wasn't commenting too much lately, I was too busy in the chat as well :(

That's fine, I'm quite busy with @rusteemitblog as well, but it's rather good to have something to do:)

Yeah it's always great to have stuff to do. :)

How is @rusteemitblog going on? And how are you doing btw?

Hope all is well!

@rusteemitblog goes well, we have a lot of ideas around that project, we are making them reality step by step.
Also we are posting about steemit on Golos now, you can check it here.
I'm fine, winter in Canaries is warm & lush

Happy new year btw! :)

I can see you're doing great! I'm happy for you :) Hope your plans develop well step by step as you said.

If any day you need more content, feel free to translate any of my content (though I realize that I usually write long and complex posts :(

Anyways, enjoy the warm and lush winter :)

Happy New Years!

Very cool. In addition to Steemit, I found the part about "Teledildonics" to be quite interesting :)

@the-alien -- Good find by you for sure. Resteemed.

I scanned that whole article link you posted and read the part about Steemit, that is really something else ---

I think you have really posted a valuable nugget of pop culture that will shift some people this way, immediately and the numbers will move on the platform with new people signing up and checking it out

The 2 stories that stick out here from that article that kinda nail it are this from the RS author:


...." In May, Mahmud Adeleye was living on one dollar a day in West Africa. A month later, he joined Steemit, a new social-media platform that rewards users with its own cryptocurrency. The more "upvotes" – likes, essentially – a post gets, the more it earns. By August, he had made the equivalent of $41,000 – plus another $18,000 after posting his story about this transformation.

If that sounds too good to be true, I felt the same way. Then I posted just four sentences, along with an angry letter that Phil Collins once sent me about a concert review I had written. It received 463 upvotes, and made $10,452 in the site's cryptocurrency, called Steem, which can be converted into bitcoin....."

Thanks Barry! Just FYI it was all thanks to @neilstrauss who wrote this incredible piece.

And that's why whatever this post generates will go to Doctors Without Borders. :)

I think it is just great and what you are doing also.
