As you know, steemit platform has a unique trending page, everyone has to share the same window into the platform, regardless of what they want to see or read. This is the reason why steemers have to build groups outside the platform (mostly on discord) in order to develop particular communities or ideas.
Yesterday steem token gain almost 30% in trading volume and the steem dollars worth today $2.5.
According to numerous sources, this sudden raise of value is due to announcement of the Hivemind protocol which is expected to enable various functionalities on the Steemit platform and among them especially the community functionality.
Analysts have immediately made comparisons with what it is possible to do on platforms like Facebook and Reddit and they come to a conclusion.
Several months before a steemer also indicates that the Hivemind protocol will enable the monetisation of communities and therefore make steemit more attaractive.
