You are correct about the Steem Blockchain reputation being in the dirt. I was watchin K-dub known as Crypto Zombie on Youtube, and he mentioned Steem but in a bad light, talked about pre-mining and Whale circle jerk. I think these are some of the biggest negatives, but eventually the market will realize that these are not deal breakers.

There are still many other blockchains who come to the Steem Blockchain to promote their coin and/or blockchain. Many realize that Steem is the Social Media site of crypto-currency, so they use it to promote and provide information in regards to their coins/blockchains.

Now there are so many new things happening on the Steem blockchain that it is impossible to keep with it all. My most favorite and recently discovered is SteemPeak.com. I simply love the interface, it is so dam smooth. Steemit.com needs to change to this look.

And from the recent success of #spud I realize that there are still many who love and support the Steem blockchain and more importantly, its community. Actually, that is one thing that most crypto-currencies lack, is the community. Yes, they all have to have a community in order to exist and remain viable, but none are like the Steem Blockchain community with such diverse backgrounds, interests, cultures, locations, topics and much more. The Steem Blockchain is now starting to boom, the price is to follow, hopefully sooner than later.

Anyhow, great post! Take care.
