RE: Can Social Media on the Blockchain Work in the Real World?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
STEEM has something that no other cypto community has... its own bitcointalk.org on the same blockchain that holds its crypto. It allows the community to put a personality on hash addresses. To make it more than that is a reach in my opinion. If you are not in the crypto space it will have a large learning curve, yet so does BitCoin even only considering a wallet let alone a communication network.
The best thing we could do is to celebrate it as our social media and stop expecting people that are not even into crypto to understand it. STEEM is quickly stepping out of its one trick pony stage. dApps will allow users to not have to deal with the details of the blockchain likes keys and the like. They will need only use the dApp services while we hard cores continue to communicate with one another thrrough our blog posts. Just the general navel gazing of most posts is a strong indication of this fact. Do you think Facebook posts mostly concerned aspects of Facebook in 2008 when it was 4 years old with 100 million users? Hell no! We are talking apples and oranges and should celebrate it as such, in my opinion.
Say this three time....
STEEM is not Facebook, STEEM is not Facebook, STEEM is not Facebook.
Lol well I didn’t expect it to be Facebook if it was, I wouldn’t be here! I agree that the dapps will all have to carve out their own niche and cater to a specific audience while the hardcores form the base!
People will be able to migrate between niches and some might convert into hardcores
I think that as we have more things running in the chain we free up the chain to be Able to do more and not see steemit as the single point of success of failure!
Steem is not steemit
Yep. It's nice to see even the economics diversifying. A great example is SPS, which opens the door to anything one can imagine and sell to the community. 😎
