DTube - Steemit Creator Dan Larimer on How Steemit Is Changing Social Media Forever
One of our latest interviews!
See the original article below:
During an interview Josh Sigurdson conducted with @Dan Larimer, creator of Steemit, EOS and BitShares, Larimer goes into the revolutionary blockchain innovation that is Steemit.
Steemit as we tell our viewers often is a blockchain based cryptocurrency social media platform where users can post content and be upvoted by other users on their posts which makes them money in Steem and SBD. SBD (Steem Backed DollarS) is a risk mitigating token given to creators but has found a life of its own. It's supposed to be pegged around $1 USD, but has found its way up above $10 USD in recent days making creators a lot of money when they cash out.
As other platforms cut off people's revenue based on their views, Steemit is a real free market system based on individual demand. As Larimer also points out, it's the only cryptocurrency out there with password recovery options.
The potential for Steemit is incredible and life changing for so many in independent media. For so many writers and photographers. It's the future.
Being the first major social media on a blockchain, it's growing in leaps and bounds on a regular basis with many of its passionate users going out of their way to promote it on the streets, like WAM's frequent guest Stephen Kendal.
Considering how many people have yet to find Steemit and the number of big names and personalities that have recently gotten accounts on the platform, there's no doubt that we're going to see a massive climb and a huge adoption phase down the road. It's just a matter of time. Nothing this innovative goes without recognition eventually.
We appreciate Dan's time and hope you also check out EOS.io as the future of cryptocurrency couldn't be brighter.
Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Wow, you are really milking this interview for all its worth. How many times have you posted it now?
Steemit is the «first major social media on a blockchain». Will there be 2.0 and 3.0 competitors?
Maybe one question helps to answer. On a 1-10 scale: How good is the Steemit algorithm in producing trending pages that are attractive to a non-Steemit internet audience?

This is a positive thing to hear. I’m
Becoming a Big SteemHead, it’s only gotten better since I joined, and easier to use.
There has been a lot of changes in social media sites since coming to Dtube.
It won't be changing social media forever if something isn't done about the down flagging wars that continue. It's seriously embarrassing and I see no reason to even have the down flagging lethal weapon available.
Even if it can't change everything forever, it will make people think different about the major social platforms. So it's good i think.
Wow nice post bro!!@joshsigurdson
how do you guys watch the interview too fast when its not even loading for me?
Dan Larimer is king. I am still a newbie, so I love the interview, since I learn a lot. $17 for Steem would be awesome.
Nice post
Steemit is one of the main reasons I have a lot of faith on the future of EOS.
Dan have demonstrated once with Bitshares and twice with Steemit that he clearly understands what all of this is about.
Why would he fail in the third one if he was successful with the first 2! :)
