RE: [Discussion Post] Where do we take STEEM from here? A post for STEEM community discussion
I am one of the few who decided not to power down; as a matter of fact i am one of the few who never power down at all...
After all the drama and what happen lately i decided to delegate all my Steem Power (6300 SP) to @qurator because i know this project since i join, and i know they are doing a great job supporting great content creators...
Now back to the topic...
@steemitblog 's "100 Days of Steem" is a great initiative to start things up, but i think they need to start showing a more clear vision of the future where they should first of all let us know who are the members of the team, who is in charge of what, and what are the plans for the near future...
I don't want to be negative at all but for the moment from the posts that they add so far looks like they are a bit lost as well... let's be honest they promote photos competitions not to mention one day they add a meme :)
But let's give them some credit in this times and let them organize fast and lets hope in the following days we will see more and more interesting posts and announcements from their side...
We need new devs and new DApps, that is for sure... as most of them left...and most important we need to promote as much as we can what we still have (DApps) as that is the way we will reach mass adoption... so first of all we need to see what and who is still around!
I know @steemhunt, @appics (i do apologize if there are others, but this two come in to my mind now) are two of the major DApps that are still around and that is great ... we should promote as much as we can all the DApps are still around (and here i include as well games, casinos and so on)...
For content creators we need more projects like @qurator
We need to figure out now for what Witness to vote as well, because for the moment here is a very unclear situation for the moment!
Now... the market will be flooded with Steem since so many are powering down and are leaving, and i think this will have a bad influence on Steem price at least for a while but i think that is the moment when we can actually do the move and get mass adoption specially almost all the people around the world are home and most of them online... just think about this for a while!
And at the end of the day all of us still around we will have to Steem On!
PS: I really wanted to add more info but its really late here; almost 3:11 am so i will add another comment tomorrow after i will wake up!
It is good that you are using your stake to help with a curation progress. Now, more than ever, I think it is of the utmost importance that we reward all of the "quality" content that we can.
In regards to the Steemit team being more forthcoming, I do think that would be very helpful in establishing a connection with the current community. I also agree that it would be good if they share a plan for the future, and I think that is to come within the 100 days of Steem. Overall, what I think is most important is that we, as a community, decide what the next step should be in order to help them get an idea.
In regards to DApps, I will say that @steemitblog's day 6 post announced a delegation to Appics, so that is certainly a step in the right direction in terms of stimulating DApps, but you are right that we should try to find ways to incentivise the creation of new DApps.
I also expect the price to drop from people selling, but it is a good time to acquire a stake (for pretty cheap), and in the long term, if this platform goes in the right direction, the price will rise.
I await your next comment.
