HA, I can't believe you sent me that link. Asking me what can be done to benefit Steem. Well Jack Miller you asked for it. For being a smart man you should have known better then to pose that question in front of me. After listening to me with patience for over six month, I guess temptation got a bit too much for you.

So how to promote Steem. People will generally write about projects they have going in through one of the entry points to Steem. How these projects help the members of their community. How the community helps each other, not just with the reward. The friendship rewards found I have seen lift peoples spirits in some community's. Writing community's helping writers. Music community's helping musicians. Art and creative community's helping visual artists. There are many doing many positive things on the platforms. The integration of games offers new experiences and opportunity for others to join too. All of these are great for new comers to the platform and those established in the community. I am sure they have helped many along their way. What has changed though over the last year? Very little has changed and even more community's are seeking your support for their project. By no means do I intend to dismiss any of the efforts anyone has put into a community. I do think an alternative direction should be taken.

The contest is hosted by Steem Australia. The original post can be seen here.

Steem is more than just Steemit or any other entry point to the chain. Each entry point offers more visibility to the whole community and all the community's formed inside. We need everything that is there and more.

A large group effort should be established, (with me at the top haha) a foundation that works toward reducing the costs of living through industry investment from the blockchain. Effectively making a block chain owned foundation. This can provide the opportunities needed for every other project there is on Steem.

Something that starts on a local scale that grows to national and international. everything that I say has been said by someone at some point in time. Voiced and opposed, voiced and failed. At each time before now. Not everything we have now was available back then. A new opportunity to equal the playing field has come into play.

Equalizing the playing fiend is something I have mentioned before a few times.

Energy as a way forward. This would be the foundation stone of the greatest and biggest conspiracy ever, by the majority of the people against the controlling few. The only obstacle to this is the initial finance.

Can we come together to generate that much power that we can create power to empower us back?

I touched also on a need to do this before those who control the economy's take the aggressive approach of controlling the coin markets. I do not claim I predicted this, I think many had the same thoughts just did not see how they could do. So I voiced this in a post too. The first two articles voice the need for a function of Steem to be established.

The ability to create a token they cannot manipulate is here with us now. If the banks can do it so can we.

The banking system at the moment seems to be trying to gain control over the markets with the tight control over the assets they hold. Voicing one concern to buy cheaper in the panic.

This can be seen as happening from the interpretation given in this clip on youtube.
