RE: Two big issues that are plaguing Steem from an Investors POV & a proposed solution
Does it matter if we have more users succeeding here? One area I am concentrating on now is the dApps.
We have at least 20-30 now where people can post niche content, play games, gamble etc. I am testing them, polling about them, reviewing them, and helping others to get started withthem. I'm also promoting them on social media.
All of the dApps I push have big sp and vote for people who post with them. STEEM dApps are all at the top of the lists at thestateofthedapps and other similar lists.
So if you post random photos for free on fb, post here with appics. Pro shots go to ntopaz. Free restaurant reviews are paid at tasteem. Get your video paid at dtube instead of posting for nothing at yt. On and on we go.
Next up - is steem-engine a game changer? The ability to trade many coins and tokens while on steem seems to be to be a great step forward.
And as my last idea - does it help when people buy in at the dolphin/orca level to USE steem for their own work? The are not trading investors, these are small to mid-sized companies that invest to get promotion with steem posts and interaction. If we has 500 companies such as coingecko, would that help the problem you are talking about?
I wonder what you would be investing in if people are not blogging here. I try hard to ignore the price and just keep working. I find incredible new options many times a week. STEEM is a whole new world compared to when I got here two years ago, and far superior to that time.
Of course, I think everyday on how to onboard people and give plenty of Steem to help get new people on. I am not a professional marketer, I know people that are and try to get them to get involved with Steem.
Everyone has their skillsets, and mine is from an investor's POV. How can we get more people buying millions of Steem? How can I sell the vision I see in Steem that made me power up. That is my strength; thus I lay into that perspective with ideas to make Steem more investor-friendly.
I love the game theory of economics and investing and I wanted to stimulate getting new ideas to burn Steem, which will help the price. Never underestimate speculation, there are coins out there with a billion dollar market cap without a single platform built or user.
I understand your point, but STEEM's niche is to be a place where users can come. We do not need to find them. We get 1000 or more each week with a 95% kill rate. I promote, but mostly I try to help the little guys that are already here and trying. I think a vibrant community would help draw investors in.
What vision was that? Has it changed since you got here? I know you are a huge booster, and we all appreciate that.
My thought on coming here was that the beautiful posts would draw people to my weight loss coaching, and some of that happens. But my primary focus changed to Minnow Tips since I see such potential for great communication and such need of people who can do it.
Trust me - I want your investors here as much as you do. But I do not know if this is a good place for the pumping and dumping crowd.
But why not both? You keep doing what you are doing and good at, and I'll do the same and we can support each other? Your strengths are helping minnows, which is why I delegated SP to you. I would love to find more people like you so I can invest in them as well. If you need any help with minnow tips, feel free to reach out.
