Next Level NewSteem - Imagine Where We Might Go.

in busy •  5 years ago 


*art by @elgeko

We are seeing a #NewSteem attitude take hold across the platform. We even have #NewBernie. :)

Some days #oldsteem tests the water and tries to raise its ugly head.

No one said #NewSteem is perfect it's a work in progress and it has less to do with the hardfork and more to do with a new culture, new vision and letting go of the old.

Across the platform, most have embraced NewSteem and realize it's a culture change as much as anything else. Not everyone will make the cut. While many love to talk about retention, we do not want to retain every user. We want to retain the best, the most talented, those who bring good energy, and some will fall away.

Now we need to take #NewSteem outside of Steem. For over three years we have focused on our own community, who is good, who is bad, who is voting the right way... I mean how lame is it for our largest stakeholders who can easily influence things to earn money making posts off criticizing their own investment.

Most who are actively involved in crypto have likely seen the name Steem, they may or may not know what it is. Those who do recognize the name think of Dan. Others think of the layoffs. We can change that now. Rebranding is expensive and time-consuming and takes coordinated efforts, a budget and more. NewSteem is a way of rebranding without as much effort.

The message is:

Everything you think you know about Steem has changed.

  • Better Distribution
  • New Reward Incentives (EIP)
  • Community Controlled Funding (DAO/SPS)
  • Improved Scalability (MIRA)
  • Improved User Interfaces like SteemPeak.com
  • Tribes and Community Options (SteemEngine and Scot Bot)
  • SMTs (We hope)

Take a new look at Steem.

If Bitcoin is the ability to transfer funds without third-party intervention.
Steem is the ability to transfer information and entertainment without third-party intervention.

We have the ability to disrupt Mainstream Media News and empower our citizen journalists. Imagine real people where news is breaking jumping on 3speak to report what they are seeing, with or without political slant.

We have the ability to disrupt the hold on Entertainment. We see youtube falling into controlled distribution of mainstream programming. While we still have the ability to decentralize content. Imagine Song Writers and Poets publishing their songs to their fans on a music-centric app. Imagine being able to register your paid copy of the song into the blockchain so copies would be obvious.

We have the ability to use the blockchain in an educational system. Imagine an app that has students follow an online syllabus, perhaps watch educational videos, take an online test, track the results, receive a certificate. It's very possible

Entertainment is where we started and what we have put the most effort into. We can discuss and exchange everything from blogs and vlogs, novels to songs, art and games. No publisher to please, just a direct link to your audience. It's your job to build the Audience, what are you waiting for?

Entertainment is also Gambling and Porn areas we already have some very young working models for. Imagine those growing to have a large following.

It's time to Imagine and Communicate the Possibilities of Steem.

When Bitcoin hits an All Time High and people are looking for The Pulse of Crypto, we need to be there.

If you want to continue to focus on the issues of Steem and Personalities I can't stop you. If you hope is easily dashed or you live in fear about losing your investment, I can't help you.

I'm busy focusing on those who can see the possibilities of emerging technology in its toddler years.

A few people are starting to see it, culture matters, every corporation knows this. Focus on the possibilities and spend as much time talking about that as you do worrying about who voted for what.

NewSteem is a choice, it's mindset, it's a place we are heading it's way bigger than blog rewards.

Talk about possibilities not problems.

You can also drop Elgeko a vote for his art here!

Just love what we're seeing with #NewSteem !

It does seem to be turning attitudes around.

My voice may be small but I completely and wholeheartedly endorse this message on the way forward

When small voices are combined they are like a beautiful choir. :)

some of people are only focus in the issues but they never do something new. Steem is not at fault but the users who believe that steem is not awesome.

It is a challenge to see past the challenges. Some see a problem or challenge and they get stuck if they don't know how to immediately change it.

New Steem is a new dawn. We'll overcome the obstacles on our way to see the glory of a new era. Cheers!

Great cover art. I dropped them an up vote on an open post.

Great!

@whatsup,
Yeah thanks to NEWSTEEM I stopped blogging, but initiated something more interesting top of the same platform STEEM. Hope to do more here, when SMT comes, that would be awesome!

It is positive to pass and read that tag, the changes are being seen little by little.

A new BERNIE…!?!?!? Ya got'z ta be kiddin me? Will wonders never cease??? :>)

Thanks for your support @whatsup and @adsup for visiting my posts recently, and leaving some love.

Yes there is a NewBernie. He's giving it an effort. Check out his most recent post.

Okay, I'll check out his page...I followed the #newbernie link and got 'no' posts. Thanks.

This is a pretty bad example. They see the world as enslaved by despotism, propaganda and lies, and in every way contribute to such a future. For 3speak, any dictator is always right. Threespeak is perfect for a country like North Korea, but I have no idea why such a dubious platform deserves so much attention.

It's one of many platforms. Focus on solutions.

This post has been included in the latest edition of The Steem News - a compilation of the key news stories on the Steem blockchain.

Always love the newsteem vibe.

#newsteem is awesome.

When Bitcoin hits an All Time High and people are looking for The Pulse of Crypto, we need to be there.

That is the main target now. BTW, is weird there is not any proposal regarding marketing till now...
Maybe we Should hire a couple of influencers and pay them in order to spread the message everywhere... it's a pity I am not that profile...

What kind of marketing you are talking about? We can position Steem as a platform for the rich persons. In reality, after the last hardfork, only the whales have significant influence due to the new curve.

Can't help but feel that Elgeko deserves a percent of the post rewards. I suspect he is too nice to ask for it, but those visuasls adds so much.

Makes you wonder how much further Steem content would reach if we were generally better at connecting the diverse set of talent we have to co-create content of higher quality.

And indeed, a cultural change regardless of whether or not all the details of the EIP are "right" or "wrong" matters more than anything else. So much of the oldsteem culture stems from a legacy on Steem that there are no reasons to carry on, with frustrations with prior behaviors by people who, in many cases, are not even here anymore. As all growth happens on the margin, it is better to just ask "what is the best thing I can to today to make Steem a little bit more like what I want it to be", and not carry the bagadge of oldsteem going forward.

with the beneficiaries-editor in steempeak its easy now to do collaborative posts or art or music&video. Thats good

Yeah, good point. I am trying to give his talent visibility for sure, but the home team group I work with, have played a role in every success I've ever had on the platform. From Drama, to blog to NewSteem!

I loved the artwork, but I felt attacked a little bit, called ugly old steem rearing my ugly old heads again and stuff lol! Reading it also made me feel like steem is trying to give me the axe again, so flag! That's why, I did read. If things start getting more new for me I will get onboard. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I am so glad i decided to return to Steem Blockchain platforms... Taking a new approach to what it has to offer and support the possitive change in the efforts to make the best of Steem.

I recon that it is the best that could have happened and the fluctuating price of Steem already proves it.

Optimism puts us in a state of mind that is receptive to opportunity, when it knocks. Thanks for spreading the optimism.

I'm excited about communities and the possibilities they will avail. This feels like the Steem blockchain's turning point.

Wow! Steem still live?

It is in a death spiral.

But Steem continues down......

markets don't change in a week or even a month. We have too many people expecting instant gratification.

Basic human nature to want instant grat. The market is lookin like it wants to turn the corner, but I doubt it is gonna happen with vote bots and down votes being abused now.

No, it isn't basic human nature. There are many studies on those who expect delayed gratification are more successful in nearly ever walk of life.

ok lol

Just calm down your anxiety is showing. :)

The bidbot abuse is down a HUGE amount.

says who? you are abusing the bid bot and nobody is attacking you

I haven't bought any bids. They say they are curating.

The last time I used a bot was over 2 weeks ago.

I've only used them on one post since long before hardfork 21/22

I purposely don't use them, because the owners are not setting standards.
