Most people do not know the difference between the steemit.com website, the company Steemit INC and the Network/Blockchain "Steem".
If @ned agrees, I think it would be smart to create a brand new name and redirect old steemit.com URLs over to a brand new domain name URLs.
On our way to the FUTURE - Not the PAST!
I know the difference of course, I am an OG Mini-Whale who guard my companies investment into STEEM like an eagle. It is all the others, all those that do not pay attention, thinking that Steem(it) either is a website or a game-system..
To Step up the game, "killer apps" needs to be made to show off the blockchain and benchmark the competitors.
If @steemit inc agrees, throw in an educational video about the STEEM network/STEEM blockchain and what you can build on top of such a network, like NewDomain.com (originally steemit.coom), busy.org, steemmonsters.com, steemspeak.com/super social network wallet (The Curiosity bot) and other things if we ever going to get peoples attention on this matter, a name-change and redirect to new domain will do the trick, and you can always put it back to steemit.com again if you want later once all our users have been heavily educated.
Ned Scott has a plan, and it is much bigger than the steemit.com website you probably are reading this article on.
@Ned Scott, my trusted CEO of Steemit Inc, the company who owns a large piece of the Steem Blockchain Tokens from mining, and of course steemit.com the website. He said on @SteemFest that steemit.com will continue to not be prioritized. (It works fine the way it works, and serve us all well as one example of what STEEM can be used for.
So Steemit.com is not going to be prioritized, what does that mean and why?
Steemit Inc, the company has spent a lot of their own resources/money to build the network infrastructure which is Hardfork 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.....20.6 And what is it that 20.6 does? Well, that is what @Ned will show you in his new company which will focus solemnly on building applications.
Think of STEEM as Windows, Linux or Apple Operating system, and Steemit.com as Solitary.
Just like all the other operating systems can do much more than playing Solitary, and that is what @Ned wants to do next, he wants to build the "Office Pack" the "Dos4gw protected mode", lemmings, worms, command & conquer, Creative Soundblasters with Waveblaster attached, Kings Quest 4, Visma/mamut economy, and Leisure suit Larry.
The time has come to show what the STEEM Operating System is really made of, and what its blockchain can REALLY do!
By keeping steemit.com the way it is, was an unpopular idea, because many, maybe even all of us have a hope to see the new awesome blockchain features being used on the trusted website steemit.com. I am probably one of the last people who dared to use SteemConnect on a 3rd party website (because the Internet is full of scammers and liars) that did not look too sketchy.
You have seen "nothing" yet
I believe the best is yet to come, and believe none of us has seen anything yet, people around here imitate more than they innovate. MinnowBooster took the name of my @Booster and just added Minnow in front of it... And @SteemPeak just removed the S from my almost 3 year old @SteemSpeak discord. A unique 24/7 staffed and unbroken Voice-Chat were we on neutral ground and with freedom to speak about anything in relation to STEEM has for this amount of time been an institution for important cross roads, AMAs and interviews thanks to our strict "Do not Bullshit Us" protocol, we get to speak with everyone or their representatives. One of the most important information-hubs outside of the steem network.
Why must all good things in STEEM become even better?
shoutout to @dsound, maybe we can make @SteemSpeak different if we worked together on a Steem-based VoIp project?
With 6,000 active discord members we use peer pressure to bring facts to the table when there has been splitting situations, this is how we have been able to avoid FUD, and ScamCoins for all these years, even if it makes us enemies by the rejected ones (we have a very high tolerance for free speech, however, sometimes people have been speaking for too long or wasted our time with non serious trolling. After all, we are a bunch of top investors and top talented people from every continent on the earth maybe with exception of the south pole side of the round/flat earth.
come and join us anytime at http://steemspeak.com or https://discord.gg/sqxV63P
If you knew how to build a STEEM APP, anything from an encrypted online notebook to the next big game, what would you make? and what would it cost us to buy your product, and how smart/quickly can you sell enough products to become a steem millionaire?
Write me some of your ambitions in the comments below, I hope you had a good time speculating with me in this article. It was nice to see and hear @ned again yesterday, focused on the way ahead and not on some new politics in STEEM itself other then what we are all waiting for, SMTs in HF21.
One Last thing!
Do not forget or ignore to vote for my witness. As my track record shows, I have been delivering everything I have promised and keep on doing so! Were other witnesses and politicians has only been leaches and charlatans, my team and me keeps doing great stuff for STEEM, do not doubt it. STEEM is our first priority in @fyrst-witness. A witness to be proud of with over 100% (yes you read right) of its bottom line spent on projects like @SteemFiesta, the first Latin American annual Steem Party in Lima, Peru which is just party focused and not shill-focused. We have space for zero to 50,000 Steemians and tickets are only $10 SBD or 10 STEEM, shoutout to @SteemCafe who co-arranged a bit of the first SteemFiesta earlier this year, and @SirCork and @Instructor / @instructor2121 for a FANTASTIC time and epic Casino Afterparties, the boys were winning even if they were losing :) Hope to see a lot more next year, so set off the first 5 days in December and be part of something EPIC. (If you only speak English we have Spanglish people with us at all times, and 4G Internet for your translator software)
Alright, that is all I had on my heart this evening.
Thank you all for being AWESOME!
Sincerely,
