Steem Missing a Huge Opportunity to Become Crypto U by Dreaming Too Big

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

There is a hue opportuntity for steem if we reorganize to seize it. Crypto U!

We are the easiest way to learn about crypto and earn crypto while doing it.

There has been so much focus on generating general content we are squandering an easy opportunity right in front of us.

  1. Everyone here is interested in crypto
  2. steem is the easiest way to earn crypto without putting any money down
  3. the number of people that need to be educated on crytpto is growing expeontially

So why aren't we the premier place to get crypto info?

The front page is littered with a bunch of random topics only a few whales care about. These whales are trying to predict what will capture a big market. They are bad at predicting. We should focus on dominating crypto news .

we have a huge advantage over reddit lets use it.

We pay contributors and commentors. Reddit has millions of other topics that drive traffic and can never dominate crypto.

the news aggregators are good but we enable discussions a killer feature

Even more important after increased comment or rewards in the next hardfork. We can take summaries of content form these aggregators and ask questions and pay those that clarify the confusing portions through comments

focusing here will have lower customer acquisition costs

People familiar with crypto should feel they need a crypto account to comment ( and earn) from their knowledge. This is a growing number of people. People without knowing about crypto should hear about us when they are researching crypto for the first time because we are known as crypto U. The number of people interested will grow expeontially. All we have to do is ride the wave.

What else do we need to become Crypto U?

  1. gateways and maybe wallets or wallet partners to all major cryptos. At least the top ten or top 20. We should add a bitcoin eth and dash walllet to steem now. For the other top 15-20 we should partner with them so that we have links from our wallet page to their wallet pages.

  2. Some fixed topics In addition to trending hot new we should have a crypto u drop down for the top 3 currencies and general crypto news and otheR. These could be forced to appear in top of the existing topic box.

  3. Whales stop voting for general stuff -Focus! the most focused always wins. With crytpto n ews and ed we can be the best. If small users want to vote for recipes or general stuff they c an but the whales and big rewards must all vote for topics we can dominate. Crypto is the only one.

Hi, I think Crypto U can work with the community feature announced in the 2017 Roadmap. Until there asking people to use #Cripto-U tag to aggregate the content can help. Good luck!

Should I tag this crypto-u? I don't like the -

Could be #cryptou or #CriptoU as well, the important thing is convince the people to use the tag chosen when post about cryptocurrencies. One idea could be reward the best posts that uses the tag or even resteem or follow the steemians who adopt it.

Totally agree. Lots of initiatives will be possible after hardfork.

is the community feature going to start in this coming hard fork happening in march in days?

I think so

There is so much potential in Steem. Try to look beyond the interface that is SteemIt. It is one possible use of the Steem blockchain technology. And the months coming will show this, I think.

Exciting Steem crypto times ahead.
