Elevator Pitch - Why should a potential investor consider buying STEEM?

in #steem • 6 years ago

In case you haven't heard, I'm organizing a Invest in Steem Social Media Blast Day. To get involved, please check out the announcement post.

As part of the campaign, I would like to create a "50 reasons to invest in STEEM" post (or 100, or however many we can come up with) for people to use when pitching STEEM to potential investors. Help me come up with the list of reasons.

Please share your ideas in the comments below.

      Individual user

      It's entry-level crypto for the layman.
      Account names are names.
      Savings account, powerdown period and account recovery as security features.
      Troll discouragement built in, attracts the best type of people.
      Encouraging others with tips is great for one's mental health.
      Rapid block times, fee-free transactions.
      Choice of condensers.
      Stable hedge. Take gains off the table with SBDs instead of moving to an exchange or bank.
      Steemmonsters. (Another great hedge)
      Ecosystem

      DPOS is more decentralised than having a handful of mining pools. (Every phone call between China and Iceland could be collusion to 51% attack bitcoin)
      Airdrops without contentious hardforks deliver the best of both worlds.
      Proxy witness voting.
      @aggroed and @yabapmatt have commissioned a metamask style browser extension to keep keys off the net.

        Through @oracle-d they can get bloggers to write about their product or business! And the investment can be reversed because they can power down.

        Fashionably late to the party as always!

        Build a disruptive web business by adding rewards
        Quora was recently valued at $1.8bn and raised another $80m in capital. Musing.io arguably has a better business model since it also rewards its contributors. Disrupt the existing big players by building rewards into your business. Get off to a fast start by leveraging Steem's existing communities of contributors and marketers and their global reach.

        Micro-gig-economies
        You've built your ecological website to save the world, Ilovetrees.com, but now you face the mountainous task of travelling around the world to collect photos and write text on all those different trees. Carbon footprint! Instead base your website on Steem and outsource this arduous but worthy task to Steem's audience of dedicated contributors. Reward the best contributors and see your data-trees grow!

        Similar ideas, but I think that one of the real strengths of Steem will end up being engaging communities to help build and grow things and rewarding them for their efforts, essentially "employing" thousands of people with different skills for an hour or so a day.

          1. Steem blockchain, through its DPoS consensus, gives stakeholders a real opportunity to be a part of the decision-making process when it comes to the future of social media.

          2. Steem is by far the most widely used blockchain by normal people. However, the number of active users has huge potential to increase - the most popular app right now (Steemit) has quite bad UX, but people use it anyway. The more people use Steem, the more people use crypto. That's a real gateway to the decentralized world.

            Better to have 7, 19 or 34 good discrete reasons rather than aiming for fifty for the sake of it being a round number!

              • Most of the crypto projects are just ideas without working products , STEEM has working DAPPS with real world adoption.
              • 90% ( or whatever the number is) of ICOs fail within 1 year ( or whatever the number is) , STEEM has been gaining momentum since 2 years
              • Is it really a currency when no-one is using it ? STEEM is being used by people across the globe ( Africa , India , Americas , ANZ) TODAY !!
              • Everyone knows FB needs to go the way of myspace , the real question is will you be "at the right place and right time" for next gen , STEEM !!

              I think these are a great launchpad @itstime. If anyone has the accurate numbers, I can start to concept some images to visualize these ideas.

                lol, well in that case

                • 99.999% of ICO's fail in the first 5 minutes, and those that invest in them somehow lose all their hair. Steem has been gaining momentum for the last 37 years since Ned was born.

                That sounds a tad unrealistic , gotta make it truthy ,

                throw random fractions like - 91.5 ICO fail within 159.52 days

                Keep in mind the golden rule , it doesn't need to BE TRUE , it needs to SOUND TRUE.

                  2. It should go up a lot eventually.
