RE: My Thoughts On EOS, Cardano, STEEM and SMT
Frankly, I don't understand this statement: "BitShares, as a general payment solutions, may see faster degradation times than Steem,..."
I don't think the social acceptation variable would be the only one applicable for indicate a obsolescent trend
Of course Steem is more social than BTS... that's one of the main aims of steem...
In my opinion, developers as @dan @ned and Charles should be focus more in the development, improvement and promotion of the already working blockchains, which still have to arrive to the people... BITSHARES and STEEM have an enourmous growing margin, while, Bitcoin for instance has less due to its lack of social usability
My statement is somehow similar with yours above. But I was comparing Steem with BitShares from the point if view of users adoption. In Steem, there are probably 30,000 people using the product every day, while in BitShares I think the number is at least a number of magnitude lower.
From this point of view, BitShares may become obsolete faster than Steem.
But obviously, I may be wrong...
My original and still main reason for coming to Steemit is: it allows me to do something I enjoy—writing and offering my opinion—with the potential to receive something in return. It wasn't, and still isn't (though I'm learning) how cool I think blockchain technology is, or because I wanted to invest in STEEM (though I've started to do that).
Then, I got here, and found there was actually a community with more than just interest in being creative or opinionated and getting paid. People care about those things here, but they also care how things look going forward. And they want to be a part of beneficial, long lasting change. Something that actually betters society at large.
To me, that's where the value is, and that's where the potential longevity is. We value social engagement, community and improving our society more than we thrill at the volatility of cryptocurrency markets or recognize the technical beauty of the blockchain.
