RE: Steemit, Inc. Blockchain Roadmap and Cost Reductions
We need tokens, please. It's the best way to expand Steem and probably the best way to restore a lot of peoples' confidence in the project.

you are right from land to sky boss. #NedCallOfDuty!
I also agree complately to @donkeypong statement.
Restoring people's confidence in the project is key for the future.
what we really need @resiliencia and @donkeypong is attract businesses to Steemit
and the only way to do it is to allow ads to be displayed. Cutting costs, realising new tokens etc - it's all not going to help much if we only will have content creators and curators (selling pressure) and hardly anyone buying STEEM.
agree.. there has to be a way that fiat is injected into the system!
One possibility: Advertisement
Too little too late... The time to fix the problems with the platform was when the price and confidence was high.
The way to restore confidence would require a complete overhaul of most every facet of steemit platform...
Don't believe it; compare the drop in the general crypto market to the Steem price. That is a statement on how the platform is being managed.
Agreed SteemIt while not the Steem Blockchain is the best avenue to promote the blockchain usage and get more money coming in.
You sink your Flagship and you will lose the war at Sea.
While there is no little truth in what you say, conquistadors have burned their ships upon reaching the shores of the land they would claim, because victory cannot abide turning back. Even contemplation of defeat can distract from envisioning and effecting victory.
Steem is either more than Steemit, or it's not. There are extant multiple UX, dapps, and more in the wings, awaiting focus and the platform where they will be free to fly above the turkeys that keep eagles from soaring today.
I am, frankly, amazed at the vision I am dimly perceiving from @ned regarding the evolution and transformation of Stinc from tokenized blogging platform to global commerce platform, suitable for every industrial, commercial, and social purpose.
I don't see that spending effort on the former flagship of the team that will conquer that new territory as investment in conquest. I see it as a distraction from the mission.
Better to sell the ship than burn it, but better to burn it than let it distract the team from their purpose. Folks clearly believe they need to buckle down and get 'er done. Let those as would find fulfillment running a censorship resistant tokenized blogging platform do so, and let Stinc seek to rule the financial world.
It's an undertaking worth the attempt, IMHO.
Yes. A complete overhaul
I completely agree and I'm sure that @ned sees this need as well. Based on the last SMT dev update, so far roughly 20+% of SMTs have been finished. So I honestly believe that SMTs 0.1 aka very basic SMTs shouldn't take too long to get ready.
Sure hope they get some form of SMT's happening as lots of us are really wanting to use these tokens. Plus dapps are keen to have their tokens usable.

They said the update was coming last year.. And the price is down from $4. Not saying Steem isn't going to go way up in the future, but it should have a much higher market cap than it does and I'm convinced SMT's would be the killer feature to drive adoption.
The thing is cost-cutting measures are something that all businesses at some or other point implement so that they can find cheaper or more effective ways of doing things. It only makes perfect sense to maximise profits in any business. It's purely a form of optimisation.
What we really need is to make Steem work as it should be, first steps are to divide passive and active investors.
The only reason I want SMT's is to have one that could replace Steem... So why not just fix Steem itself?
I don't want to see the trending anymore, and either I want to see how Steem price is doing. I'm sure both are plummeting and one must be delusional to think these two things aren't correlated.
When we get a kitten, we are enthralled with it. If we love the lazy cat that grows from it, we are glad of the kitten.
If it shits in our shoes, we regret the kitten.
There are a lot of kittens that need homes. You may be one. @ned is stating that Steem can be a mechanism for the finding of homes for kittens, and then there need be no more @sadkitten. Steemit isn't Steem, and though the original incarnation of Steemit was the only venue for Steem disbursement, today we have multiple UX, many dapps, and all these kittens need homes.
I hope to see Steem grow into the fat, lazy cat that devours the fat rat banksters that plague my financial endeavors, and it cannot do this if it is channeled only by a blogging platform called Steemit. Not every one will stick with the kitten as it becomes a cat, but folks that got the kitten desiring and expecting the cat will find the transformation both good, and still will miss the kitten.
Your particular vision and need for Steem is yours alone. SOC (SMTs, Oracles, and Communities) will make possible fulfilling every vision and need, not yours alone.
I do hope so, or I'm getting a dog.
That's an awful metaphor and I hope you never get a cat.
Also your point is not valid because steem is not a cat. Steem can easily be shaped.
Enjoy your dog!
I have a cat. And a dog.
What?? Cats and dogs.. living together?
Maybe that would be the better analogy, that Steem can be a way for both to find homes, and meet their needs.
Thanks for the tip!
That's what I was saying. STEEM can be shaped.
This is normal when a cat and a dog grow up together. But my dogs and my cat Ziggy didn't. He gets along only with the shy dog, Sofia, but not with the more social dog, Achado, who doesn't know how to interact with him. Achado tries to play with him, but Ziggy gets scared because of his loud bark and social aggressiveness.
Ziggy doesn't understand what Achado wants. Achado doesn't know how to do it any different at the moment, so I just try to keep him away.
Also, if a cat pooped in your shoes, that means you did something really wrong and he really resents you for it. Look it up.
This conversation is the funniest one on steemit . Long live Steemit

That's assuming the cat is rational. My observations of cats do not support that assumption. If you had a pet mouse, Ziggy would demonstrate the antithesis of rationality for your edification.
Cats are fine, since we're not 6" tall. Were we but 6" tall, we'd want them extinct.
Sadly, dogs too.
Weasels are far saner. While they kill mice, they don't torture them to death. Even so, I would rather not have a pair of rabid weasels trapped in my trousers. I'd much prefer to wait for @ned and Stinc to get their costs under control, let Steemit pass to the control of an entity that was focused on managing a social media platform based on Steem, and continue to work towards releasing SOC (SMTs, Oracles, and Communities) that will enable all manner of industry, media, and social organizations to profitably employ Steem blockchain UX to conduct their affairs without needing to tolerate the intrusion and control of banksters, with all possible dispatch and laser focus.
So, that's what I'll do.
Also, I think Ziggy considers Achado like the good-natured but subnormal intelligence guy at the tailgate party. He's not sure Achado won't snap any moment, and Achado likely is quite a bit larger than Ziggy. It may be hard for Achado to be less forthcoming with his physical attentions to Ziggy, and that will make it difficult for Ziggy to be comfortable in that limelight.
Hope they can work it out.

This is a good idea
SMT are really important and because they are so important they need to be implemented carefully.
There will be no way back. It must work for sure 100% when released.
I understand that everybody is waiting to have them released and pushes this.
But I also completely understand that it needs time. This must work 100% correctly from the first day.
I wish the steem inc. team all the best for this very important next step!!!
Steem on!!!
Agreed. And sooner than later. We severely need a shift in momentum.
Tokens? Isn't that what SBD is supposed to ne used for? Like Steemit isn't complicated enough, lets add another form of payment and then another and soon it will make even less than what it is now.
Ok, enough sarcasm, SMT's might help, allowing advertisements may also, but I think it's just adding to the complexity of an already convoluted overburdened platform.
How about eliminating bots, self voting, and doing away with percentage voting. Maybe then votes will count for something again. Maybe then huge whales might spread the love around rather than playing the system for their own personal gain.
It just seems to me Steemit isn't about blogging, or social media but rather about how to manipulate the system in to a personal money machine that takes value from the smaller crustaceans and hords it for the elite. Oh, wait a minute, isn't that what the government does? Now it makes sense.
