All of the above.
The nonexistent representation at notable crypto conferences such as Consensus is perhaps indicative of a lack of willingness by Steemit Inc to stand up to thorough scrutiny from the brightest minds and deepest pockets in this growing market.
The months long silence from the CEO of this platform demonstrates negligible engagement with its users. The failure to meaningfully update on the developmental status of SMTs further attests to this.
The continued governance issues that remain unaddressed, coupled with the inordinate control that Steemit Inc has over the Steem supply, will continue to constrain mass adoption and thus the market valuation of the blockchain.
You mean conferences like CoinDesk's Consensus 2018, where Ned will be speaking?
Thanks for pointing that out. This nonetheless ties to comments regarding the need for improved direct engagement with the user base: for example, there's no mention of the participation in the conference anywhere on the Steemitblog page. As such, the marketing of these events is simply lacking.
And the referenced session is structured as a forty-minute group panel. What many are really asking for is a stand alone presentation akin to what the CEO of Twitter is scheduled to do for forty-five minutes. One that thoroughly conveys the value proposition of the Steem blockchain versus others and offers substantive answers to recurring questions like: what are the lessons learned over the two years since its inception, what changes are being made to address long standing governance and UI/UX issues, what is the developmental status of SMTs besides reference to an eight month old white paper, are there plans for the Steem supply to be less centrally controlled, what is the status of corporate partnerships that have been alluded to in the past, etc.
Exactly, nobody cares about a panel where @ned will be overshadowed by those that actually understand crypto.
An article that was published today recapping his recent Korea trip noted the following:
"As a final bit of information, Scott also touched upon the voting system with Steemit.com and said that after feedback analysis that they were going to move from a state-weighted (stake?) voting system to an account-based voting system whereby each user gets one vote on the platform to ensure a fairer compensation process."
If the above statement is in fact true, wouldn't this have the potential to dramatically disrupt the current Top Witness rankings?
Are the Witnesses even aware of the referenced feedback analysis and plan to shift to an account-based voting system where each user's vote carries the same weight irrespective of SP stake?
Or is this all just in reference to voting on posts/comments?
At the SteemFest2 Fireside Chat posted on Steemit's YouTube channel in November 2017, he said eighteen minutes into the interview, "We will get Smart Media Tokens launched early next year." We're nearly half way through 2018, so inquiries regarding the developmental status are justified.
These are just some of the many questions that direct engagement with users here on the platform itself would better facilitate addressing, rather than finding out through the media after the fact.
That line published by the media is not an accurate interpretation/quote.
Account based voting is relevant for SMTs and that’s mentioned in the SMT whitepaper..
Well, he answered the question:
Account based voting is for SMT's.
D
Thanks for clarifying. Like many, I look forward to more info on the status of SMT development.
I will say it was quite concerning to hear you stumble upon your words and not answer the question asked by Bloomberg when the subject of "shit posting/low quality" content was brought up. It seems there is no concern or solutions other than steemcleaners? I suspect/hope I am ignorant on these matters and that there are more proactive solutions to these issues outsiders/potential investors will peck at. @ned
Never again will I challenge myself to a game of where's @ned
is ctrl+f so difficult?
No, but where's the fun in that?
I wasn't being serious
cobain is still alive?
I'm pretty sure he shot himself...
It's E and it's a great shame.
f) STEEM is years ahead of similar tokens and hosts its OWN conferences!
Booya! :D
You do realize just how fucking ignorant that reply is, right?
Yeah, I guess it is easier to keep selling shit to the sheep that have already fell for it.
Can’t slap people down for ignorant comments.
Humanity is stupid, by principle. ☹️
I think it's fairly close to accurate today.
EOS / ONO may come along and wipe the floor with what's present here, but as far as I'm aware nothing is live as yet.
Steemfest, by all accounts, is taking place again this year. I think 300 is the number to beat.
Very possible and their philosophy more closely resonates with my own in that I hate vote buying and selling.
I have couple recent comments on my account where I flagged a couple bot facilitated shitposts with more than $10 STU rewards. Getting really tired of the crap the bots are enabling around here.
If there were any reason I would ever move my efforts from Steem, it's because of that sort of thing really destroying proof of brain. It was good in theory. Bid bots destroyed it in practice
The owners are reducing spam though......
Yeah, I'm with you on the low mood sometimes, but who knows, things might turn around... or sink :)
This is what happens at Steemfests and meetups..
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK!!!! You have a lot of these weird pics stored and ready to go. LOL
ha!
Well I was in Portugal last November and am positively saddened that I missed an opportunity like the one above!
The real question is, whose ass? jk
They all whales man, just gotta dive in there!
Any recommendations?
Haha, sounds kinky.. ;)
Caught me by surprise, thought it was some headless halloween orangutan decoration at first.
Why do you own any steem?
No. So you need to upvote me pls ☹️
@katrah Bitch don't beg for upvote better on your knee suck my dick I'll throw few steem at your pussy.. 😂
Maybe because it has been one of, if not the best investment the Post owner has ever made :)
And there is a option( F ) whales invest 0 Fiat currency on steemit and fucking selling those invalid steem to innocent people so they can enjoy luxury life.. bullshit.. you love to hear my insult don't you ? @berniesanders here is one Your mom is so old, she went to an antique shop, and they kept her.😂
I think you are still a little dehydrated bud. LOL
Check Crypto Twitter. Steem is laughed at as a joke by "serious traders". Very few of them ever list Steem as a bag they are holding.
At the very least there is a perception problem. At the worst, a corruption problem. Reaping the rewards while the system continues to "thrive" is a good play, and my portfolio shows what Steem can accomplish for someone who puts it to work. But for Crypto Mass Adoption, we are out of the loop.
People still use TWITTER? ☹️
Jesus how old are you? Twitter is lame k no one cares what Twitter says
It is very likely I am dehydrated still - when water is leaving from all exits its tough to stay ahead of the game!
If i was a 'serious trader' I'd laugh at STEEM too on missing 7 cents last year - at least in public :)
I don't disagree with the words perception and corruption/abuse being used in relation to what's happening here at present, but I think it's too early to throw the towel in.
The lack of solid news/release date of SMTs has been a big negative, but IF they appear, and IF they get just one big customer (ned holds @amazon... ha!), I can see investors views changing rapidly.
All imho, which also includes backing multiple horses in the same race :)
I think its e).
My guess is that it matters little to you @oldtimer - not knowing your original investment without being nosy, Steemit has done OK for you thus far? :)
I'm not complaining at all. But I don't see any progress. Just words. Month after month. And that makes me sad.
Maybe it would have been years ahead if @ned hadn't stoped the development.........
Oh the development has stopped? You could have told me this in January!
🤣
Why did he stop development? There are still so many problems with flagging and upvote bots☹️
To me, crypto conferences are just promotion activities. Does Steem need it? Not really.
You can see a variety of the videos and talks given by Steemians at the London Crypto Currency Show a few weeks ago at @promo-steem. This was organised by the promo-steem team who are independent steem users, not affiliated with Steemit inc.
I agree that there is a massive failing from Steemit Inc. to properly market and communicate about Steem with the world - however, at least some of us are doing the work.
Didn't Steemit Inc recently participate at TokenFest in San Francisco?
Also, I think Steem was well represented at London Cryptocurrency Show thanks to #promo-steem and @steem-ambassador team.
I hope you're not referring to a 25 minute "fireside chat"... How many people attended that one? 25? Maybe 30?
No, I think TokenFest was big. 2000+ attendance.
This one from TokenFest schedule.
Steemit blog announced it here...https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitblog/join-team-steemit-at-tokenfest
London Cryptocurrency Show was big as well, I think also 2000+ attendance. But that one was mainly facilitated by #promo-steem team. By the way, this team is doing an amazing job promoting Steem. They may need support from investors like you who care about Steem.

I don't think you understand what "fireside chat" means... He definitely did NOT speak in front of 2k people.
The Great @berniesanders says :"The money's the same, whether you earn it or scam it." So he and his boyfriends stared the steemit.inc..scam fuck 🖕
“The best part of you ran down your mother’s legs” , while @berniesanders dad say to bernie aka charle
Ah ok. You are probably right then.
The irony of it all. A post about how shitty Steem is, getting massive upvotes all the way to the trending page and earning a lot of Steem :) That pretty much sums up the platform and Steem itself.
E) All of the above.
Shitty doesn't mean dead.
Certainly not and it will stay afloat as long as something better doesn't come along. But a platform that touts "content" with the only trending "content" being how crappy the content is on trending won't be around for long - once people realize there is no fix to the underlying issues.
If I may ask, what do you exactly see its a the underlying issues? I see a few but am relatively new to the platform.. I
Just look at the crap on the trending pages for a week. compare that with content you consume outside of steemit and you'll see the underlying issue. You don't need good content to earn money here. You just need a lot of it so you can circle jerk with your other friends that has a lot of it too.
CRYPTO FOR THE WIN!
i think that steemit inc is doing all they can to make steem a great platform. nobody also knows how to fix bitcoin
This post, with over $50.00 in bidbot payouts, has received votes from the following:
appreciator payout in the amount of $207 STU, $435 USD.
buildawhale payout in the amount of $104 STU, $218 USD.
smartsteem payout in the amount of $104 STU, $218 USD.
postpromoter payout in the amount of $95 STU, $199 USD.
For a total calculated bidbot upvote value of $510 STU, $1,070 USD before curation, with approx. $128 USD curation being earned by the bidbots.
This information is being presented in the interest of transparency on our platform @berniesanders and is by no means a judgement of your work.
Though I'm new here, I never thought Steemit is shit platform and I'm really surprised to see this post receiving so many positive replies.
Ok, there may be many shitty contents, "corruption" and whales rubbing reward pool, but that's it :) What you're expecting from a blockchain-based platform, which grants users complete freedom
And why do you wait for Steemit Inc. or @ned to do something? If I'm not wrong Steem is an open-source project and be developed and contributed by anyone. What changes would you suggest to make this platform better?
How about total domination by bots and whales making it impossible to make a go of this without spending huge amounts to time managing tinkering with bots, pledging pools, managing alliances, playing upvote gamesmanship, etc. OR having huge amounts of money to start with... Seems like a pretty big fucking weakness if you ask me.
I do not exclude such a development of events, but I don't think it things will go in that way, thanks to great project and initiatives from old and new community members. And that's how the problem should be solved, by the community, not by Steemit Inc. or @ned, don't forget that this is a decentralized platform.
Wololo!
(RandoHealer has healed this post because your blog was targeted for healing due to malicious downvotes!)
not only is it not open source the underlying programming was "given away" after 10% of it was sold...
in other words it is stolen.
no, that's just twisting words. how is it stolen
I bought a piece of 10% of the profits more than a year before it came out. It was stolen from me. By Daniel Larimer who made a decision not to backup what he sold in the first place.
