Steem Review By @Ned; A Huge Step In The Right Direction...
Hello Steemians,
If you aren't following the @steemitblog, then you are going to be way behind schedule and knowledge on the happenings of this platform. They give you news about events, plans, achievements, failures and the way forward for 2018 and beyond. You should read it here.
What I Think About It
First read this statement here by @Ned - CEO of Steemit
We know what big features Steemians want: communities, spam management, modular application components for simple and fast development, a great sign-up flow, Smart Media Tokens... and they want it yesterday.
This just helped me realize that the team know exactly what they are doing. It shows me that they can feel the pulse of the people. It makes me feel like this platform also belongs to me.
Yes! Exactly! We all deserve a concrete timely update about the happenings in the background. No! We don't deserve all the noise and power tussle with an exec that has fallen out of favour.
We needed Steemit Inc to be more focused on the goal at hand and not get distracted by minor setbacks. Hopefully, I think we are beginning to get that.
Summary: For Those Who Can't Read Long Stuff...
VISION:
- Empowering entrepreneurs to tokenize the internet
ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2017:
- Scaling with better interface
- New Steem-based Apps like Dtube, Dsound, Utopian, Busy etcx
- Free Image upload & hosting for all users
- Delegated SP. (It wasn't there previously)
- Multiple beneficiaries from a posts payout
- Linear rewards. Helps payout and upvote value correlate with SP
- Speedier site usage dur to condenser upgrade
- New team leads eg ** New CTO - Harry Schmidt**
- They did a couple other technical stuff aside announcing SMTs.
FAILURES:
- I'm glad they acknowledged that they haven't been so forth-coming with info. Its good to admit wrong-doing.
- They also admitted not delivering some things they promised eg Mobile App. "Its in developmemchoicet," they said.
GOING FORWARD
They have promised us a better year 2018. The #2018roadmap will be out soon. I believe SMTs, Communities and other useful progresses will be made this year. We can all see how far steem have come in just barely a year. What role do you wanna play in this growth?
PASSIVE or ACTIVE?
You already know my choice...
