STEEM, the Coin, the Token, has an image problem.
The Problem is STEEMIT! Here's my proof, an excerpt from WEB-BOT's analytics.
Steem
This is a popularity token on the social media platform Steem. It is traded, albeit in low volumes. It's vulnerabilities come from no external sources of value flowing into the Steem platform, thus the Steem coin is banking on presence to make it an effective trade with other cryptocurrency offerings. Its largest vulnerability comes from the non-earned method of acquiring the token. It requires that one be popular on the Steem network in order to get 'up-voted' such that more Steem is sent your way based on the internal popularity algorithm. Some persistence showing up in the data about the platform but not the coin. Punt potential.
WEB-BOT is, imho, the top internet data mining going today, it seems Clif High developed the leading edge techniques to track Web Sentiment and analyze the 'hive mind' ;) That being said, did you notice that AT NO TIME did WEB-BOT recognize the difference between Steem and Steemit? This is very telling, and it is not the fault of the 'Bot, or the programmer, Clif High. It is working very well. PUBLIC PERCEPTION is the Problem. Web-Bot just reports Public Perception. We know that STEEM and STEEMIT are 2 different things, and when Clif wrote up the report, meaning he interprets the data sets, he noted that there is a platform connected to Steem. The Web Bot just found "no difference" in the public perception. Basically, this means that People believe STEEM is a sub-set of STEEMIT, when the reality is the OPPOSITE. Steem > Steemit. We here at Steemit are a part of a larger platform, Steem Blockchain and Tokens.
We need to start letting everyone know the Truth! Here's @overkillcoin's FINE GRAPHICS, again ;)
