Nasdaq published a couple of days ago an article about the recent listing of STEEM in the Netcoins network, which was an unexpected (but very nice) way to benefit even more from getting to that spot. If you really want to read all the article, here's the link.
But what made my slightly raise my right eyebrow (a thing I rarely do on Fridays evenings) was @ned's statement in that article, and I quote:
"Steem's most valuable resource is our community, and it was incredible to see the community come together to vote for STEEM in the Netcoins listing contest," said Ned Scott, CEO of Steemit Inc. "We are grateful to all who voted for us and very excited to now see STEEM listed on Netcoins."
I don't know about you, but I'm in this project for more than 2 years now, and it's the first time I see such an accurate description of what really happened. I think @ned went a long way since the bitter quarrels with @dantheman, from the flag wars and from the overall toxic atmosphere that was, for months, just the natural way to breathe here on Steemit.
I can just hope Ned really means what he said and he realizes that what actually happened was that a lot of people acted in a coordinated way to support a common idea. It wasn't marketing. It was more than that. It wasn't paid advertising. It was more than that. It wasn't just the usual "throw more money at the problem" approach.
It was the beginning of a real community here on Steemit.
And that's way beyond money.
