RE: Vlog 383: The state of Steem.
That really was such an uplifting show yesterday. i finally bailed @ midnight, but looking back at the feed it seems there were still people in there at 1.00 a.m!
The sun's come out this a.m. too, it's almost like it's signifying a new dawn for steem.
@starkerz's ideas are especially interesting. Having heard him speaking on the same topic in last week's UK meet virtual meet up it's amazing to hear how he's refined his explanation in just one week. He has a way of making you shift your thinking about the blockchain.
I'd never actually grasped the significance of delegation for businesses before: the fact that they could effectively hand over capital to (for example) a marketing company on steem without actually handing over their capital is truly innovative.
Although we'd probably need the crypto markets to stabilise a bit first. Lots to process from that meet up and all of it very encouraging!
I might just waste my afternoon in the pub to celebrate: Friday/ sun/ good news in December, that's a rare combination after all.
It does feel very promising 😊
There are some dilemmas between distributing steem and getting wide acceptance - Steemit has been very good for that; and holding value and a stable market price through attracting more investors; and between an alternative economy which is also, at the moment, linked to the fiat economy. All those dichotomies need to be held and worked through. I'm starting to write a board paper for our trustees and it's starting to bring some things into sharp focus (although I think that's a good thing)!
Regardless, the pub is a very good option for a Friday afternoon.
That paper sounds very interesting. I can only imagine how difficult it is... let me guess... you're struggling to explain it without making it sound like a Ponzi scheme?!?
That's probably the biggest thing that bugs me!
Yes, we need to think about this ... but meanwhile you've distracted me with mention of the pub ... 😎
Oh sorry.. it's just such a nice day. I'm now thinking quick walk and then mid pm in the beer garden.

Don't be sorry, I'm only envious!
Ps what's your discord name (it keeps asking me for the numbers)
It is, but as he stated and you said a stable STEEM price and Steemit inc. would help.
