Vlog 188: I can't think of any other blockchain where the community is working so hard to add true value to the blockchain every single day.

It's not just through content creation. It's so much more.

We have people that have taken it upon themselves to promote the steem blockchain in their own countries. And they are not hired to do this. They do it because they believe in this project.

We have developers that have taken it upon themselves to create apps and frontends for the Steem blockchain. And they are not hired to do this. (they can monetize the blockchain on their own).

And all of this is happening without the Steem inc team being involved in any of this (as far as I know).

The Steem team can just work hard on making the blockchain itself as solid as they can make it. With, HF20, SMT's and scaling.

With the Steem blockchain, you don't have to wait for a team to do everything for you. You can start today. Because the whole blockchain is already working great.

It's not a promise in the future like so many projects out there.

Some have already started like @good-karma. He just released a new version of his eSteem app.

New eSteem version


@good-karma released a new version of his fantastic app called eSteem. I have been testing it all morning and it works great. Check out his release post here.



I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.

We build Steemify a notification app for your Steemit account for iOS.

It’s true and the hard work for many peoples or is finally starting to pay off.

Thanks for the update on esteem.
Just download it.
Steem is a project that rely on every steemians.
You have said it.
This is really a community. You do your part and make the blockchain stronger and better.
Keep on steemit.

Yeah, you have a point there. It looks like steem community own steem project. This is not seen in any other blockchain, they just rely on developers. One reason could be incentives you get in the form of SBD and steem when you use that project on steem blockchain or post it here and get rewarded from the users. If that is the case then even it is better because at the end of the day everyone needs appreciation and it is better it is adding something good to the community.

It's like you combine video game + a new digital currency that could be traded into something real. Are there actually any other platform that also works as social media + Blockchain or is Steemit the only one?

It's very clear that it's working because of the reward system. It makes the whole system more engaging. Also probably work so well because people are kind of fed up with the other large social media sites that are censoring stuff and becoming stagnant.

But much of this also just happens because the world population is growing so fast that just a few companies cant capture all the value under some huge umbrella. Every single individual is starting to become real powerful because of how empowered they are getting because of new technology. And with new research and development that constantly push the price down. Machine learning has another massive part in this.

You create a nice positive feedback loop when people faster get rewarded for good content. With other platforms it takes a longer time. And then you may forget what it was you did that gave you a reward. The quicker feedback makes people adjust faster and optimize. And people like to get rewarded more from other users than some company. Because it feels more special and personal.

We are probably all moving slowly ahead into some new era. But there will be many bumps on the road that's for sure! But we truly live in exciting times for people who want to work for themselves or express themselves to the world.

yeah it's an old term to me that got bolted in when 'social media' came along, the worse term for 'audience' i've ever seen yet nobody else knew what to call it -- i've always been 'socialable with my media' that is if you want it you can have it for free, it's always been the 'content' component (the audio, video, text, graphics) that people notice and can lead to what we would normally know of as the 'work' and the 'process'

the wonderful thing about a transparent, open blockchain where your activity is the metric of engagement it's up to the audience to validate your 'content creation' -- it feels very much like a bs term like social media but it's just the building blocks of 'doing the work' -- i spent so many years trying to explain to people, brands and small companies why they needed to do the blogging, media and video parts of content creation -- problem is most people in business are not normally creative about storytelling or understand the benefits of speculative communication to customers they don't have.

with steemit i'm able to communicate the work i do on a daily basis, maintain a blog and get a bit of payment for my time and involvement, it's the involvement over time that creates longer lasting relationships in a decentralized world because our legacy is here for all to see -- the lines of hobbies, work and life in general blur and turn into a utopian digital life experience.

Very true, https://promo-steem.com/ has come up with Steem Ambassadors, who are elected by the community as dedicated and trusted Steem Blockchain promoters in their respective countries... Anybody can apply to become Steem Ambassador and can promote their Steemit marketing campaign with #promo-steem tag , which will be curated by Whales... So promoting Steem is going to be far more rewarding now...

Maybe I can learn a lot with you guys, thank you for your knowledge and information
That's a very good idea

That's an awesome idea

Great video @exyle!

Great story! Well deserve to be upvoted!

@exyle,
Yeah it's absolutely correct. No other blockchain has such huge community backup. Therefore, this is truly amazing. Esteem new version pretty cool. I also testing that app. So far so good. Great you decided to talk about that.

Cheers~

Seasonal mood disorder is real. It is nice when the seasons change. Yes - mitigating risk is the name of the game.

Adding value to the blockchain is great idea. It's really nice seeing you discussing about it. The esteem app have not being working well for some days now, but I just noticed they are on upgrade and has just released new version, l am going to test it out by using it to post today Steemup Record in Nigeria.
Thanks so much for sharing @exyle, your vlog has keep me going on steemit.
