For Those Who Can't Make It To Steemfest #1 2016: The Steemit Community Questionnaire

in #steemfest8 years ago

During Steemfest I'm going to interview the speakers. I've been researching all the people
involved and boy is the list diverse!

Interviews by @futurefood

The idea for the interviews is to keep it a bit casual. I'd like to do longer more in-depth
interviews but hey, it's Steemfest and I don't want to take up to much of the speakers time!
I think it's nice to have a bit of a personal approach in the questions. Then I thought: Why don't I ask the people who can't make it to Steemfest what they would ask?


Screen capped from guess where?

Obviously, it's not possible to create a fully custom questionnaire for each speaker.
But what if we do it like this:


Comment your top 3 questions list that you absolutely need to know.
Perhaps we inspire each other that way to put together a top 3 questionnaire that I can easily lay out to the speakers during Steemfest.

I will still ask questions based on my own research. Think of the top 3 questionnaire as a way to break the ice during the interviews.


TO SUM IT UP:

-Comment your top 3 questions
-We then put together a def top 3 (based on comments upvoted?)
-Create a community-based interview experience


What do you guys and galls say??

My questions is, is there any plan to make Steemit easier to use, for new users.

My second question, will Steem be worth $4.00 any time soon?

Ok, I think both of those questions are like the Titanic in terms of ice breaking, but hey I asked, you answered!

  1. What do you think will be the number one reason people will spend real money to purchase Steem Power both in the immediate and long term future?

  2. When do you think a viable SBD marketplace will exist within Steemit, and why would you use it instead of Amazon (or some similar service in your area)?

  3. If you were standing face-to-face with an early whale investor who's investment has lost 10X or more in value at today's prices, what's the one thing you would tell them to encourage them?

I really like these questions @lukestokes! Here are my answers..

  1. voting on the blockchain has just begun a new era of "politics". The fact that I could actually influence the way people see the world and help change it at the same time, that is priceless.

  2. I think that Steemit has begun a revolution in online shopping but what I find more gravitating towards the truth is this:

    • We can really begin to recycle while using our minds for much greater things other than making a profit.
  3. Look at your growth rate and the effect you have had within the platform also noting the connections made... This will allow you to fully grasp the concept of decentralization

All right, great questions! Thanks!

Question: What will YOU do to increase the value of Steem?

Awesome idea dude upvoted.

Thank you! What would you like to ask?

i only want to know one thing... when is this new 3 month thing and other things going into effect so Steem stops bleeding like a harpooned whale?

Yeah, I think that's on a lot of peoples mind. I'm not sure if asking it like that will provide a sufficient answer though. Which other things are you referring to?

i'm really interested to hear what neil strauss has to say, i loved his book 'emergency' - i think you all should read, i'd love to know where he thinks things are 'today' since he wrote the book and what other areas we should be looking at that he wishes he could add to a 'revision' of his book.

  1. Several discussions and presentations have been made which detail advertisers as the next opportunity for Steemit. Imagine you are standing in front of a potential advertiser or agency, what is the pitch to convince them the Steemit platform should be included in their marketing/advertising spend?

  2. In that same vein of attracting advertisers, what are the next logical steps/tech improvements to make purchasing tokenized STEEM advertising as easy as purchasing advertising with a credit card and what is the timeline for their implementation?

  3. With the upcoming hardfork, witness compensation is set to change significantly. In the past, witnesses have provided some significant funding to develop new features on the site. Is the expectation that future features will continue to be organic, coming from witnesses or more centralized from the Steemit developers?
