Saturday is the last Saturday of the Month so that means it's time for the Steem Witness Forum on MSP-Waves! Once again I've assembled a great crew for you.

@andarchy is the Steemit Inc Director of Content and will help catch up the community on what Steemit's been up to.

That'll be a good lead in to talk to some of the witnesses-

@roelandp- Best known for Steemfest
@clayop- Best known for growing the Korean Community
@aggroed- Best known for Minnow Support Project and the PALnet Discord channel with 16k Steemians in it
@lukestokes- Best known for the exchange transfer report
@klye- Best known for his MS Paint artwork and depiction of whale balz

We'll also have backup witness @drakos on the show
@drakos- is a constant new witness supporter in steem.chat, a managing Witness of the Minnow Support Project, and a talented developer having created steemian.info

Format

I'll ask some generic questions and let the witnesses answer. What does Steem need? What are you working on? What challenges are we facing? etc. Folks get to share what they think and hopefully people learn something about the blockchain and maybe figure out some problems that we can work on together!

Logistics

Show starts at 11am EST this Saturday March 31st. I'll be on air spinning some tunes at 10:30am EST.

You can join us by hopping into the Peace, Abundance, and Liberty Network Discord Channel.

Guests should come a few min early to make sure they can get sound checked.

Show Recording!

I've gotta ask, why does this post advertising a conversation with a bunch of witness that do literally nothing deserve to be at the top of "Trending" on this site?

"@lukestokes- Best known for the exchange transfer report" - Oh Wow! An automated report! He must deserve to be #12 on the witness list making THOUSANDS of $ per month to DO NOTHING!

Don't you think it would be beneficial to advertise witnesses that are actually doing something? Or are those too hard to come by these days?

I’m surprised I still warrant so much of your attention after you’ve told me repeatedly I’m not worth your attention. My offer still stands: let’s do an interview where you can explain your views to the community and what solutions you’d like to bring to the table.

@aggroed asked me to be on the show and I said yes becuase I’ve received lots of positive feedback for every other time I’ve attended by those in the community who appreciated it. Why don’t you join us and engage in some positive discussion by asking questions?

I’m surprised you didn’t even know what the esteem app is when you continually talk about how ignorant everyone else is and how you have so much more information.

I appreciate you raising awareness on things you’re passionate about. If I can claim something of value to this community you appreciate it’s that I’ve always been comfortable publicly disagreeing with you. You’ve told me as much in chat before you blocked me. Where others try desperately to avoid your flags or suck up to you for upvotes or even lash out at you with emotional anger and drama, I do my best to stay consistent. If you flag me and the community agrees with it, so be it. If you flag me and the community disagrees, it only demonstrates how out of touch with this community you can be at times (from my perspective).

You don’t like me and that’s fine with me. I’d still like to see your needs met, even if I get confused by how you express them.

LIMIT REWARDS to 200$ maximum and 50 cents minimum.. HOWEVER 95% of the posts that trend are not worth 10cents also.. and you guys want to compete with FB/youtube/Quora..

No, I think there should be a separate trending page where no one has used bots and have it rival the pages that do

All of that and you still can't express why YOU believe you should be in the top 20. That's sad.

You're pretentious and just reading your comment above, I'm sure many will agree. That's why I'm not wasting my time with you. You were simply an easy target, because again, you're not doing anything of value here.

My reasons for being a witness are unchanged from my original announcement 10 months ago. It’s not up to you or me to decide where I fit in the rankings. That’s up to the community.

You’ve called me pretentious since we first interacted. Maybe I am. Maybe you don’t know me well. Maybe you should step up to my offer to do a video hangout and get to know me better? You could expose my pretentiousness live for all to see! :)

Again, I'm not going to waste my time amusing you. I'm entitled to my opinion about you based on our past interactions.

Both of you are obviously in love.

Well, it's not at the "top" 😉

And does not only make reports...

I don't even try to. Here, at the end of that article you will see an example of what I consider a great whale on Steem and his efforts to bring value to the platform. This is since you read my replies :)

PS: I am not advertising that post, if that was not obvious already.

'Don't you think it would be beneficial to advertise witnesses that are actually doing something? '

like who specifically ?
and what do they do for the platform specifically?

Great things are coming to Steemit because of the likeminded like you have @aggroed and everyone with same frequency mind you mention on this post. I select you as witness because your bringing so much value on this community. Thanks

I disagree. All I see is the rich getting richer and those with power accumulating more power. What problems are actually being solved on this platform. The divide keeps growing daily and all I see is more publicity for the ruling elite. Looks a lot like real world politics going on here where the few rule the many.

mr-chuckles, i've vetting you and i can see you're savy and knowledgble, i agree 90% with your statement, but it also gives me a clue to who you are besides this account, you savy sexy fatherly man you ;)

Well thank you good sir for paying attention to me. My father is a very wise man that doesnt get enough credit, but sometimes lets his mouth run a little bit wild. He is also careless sometimes and forgets to log out of one account before posting with the other account, silly old man

Puerto Rico is one of my list to settle in. Witnesses, good luck to your missions and visions in steemit together we can make steem token a great value to the people. :)

It was indeed so much amazing to hear Steemians out there especially @andrarchy. The way he represents the Steemit team is truly in a professional way. Thanks for letting us know what's happening inside!

O good! Looking forward to that

Done upvoted 👍

Hi @aggroed Thank you for the added value you bring us with your efforts and the quality of your work.

Sweet!! I'll be there!

I hope we can add more people in the future that are also members of other projects that support fellow minnows. :)

Very good post
