DAPPS Are The Way To GO

DApps are the true way to use STEEM. They are the lifesource for STEEM. Thats how we can get more users in. Forget about trying to get them in to blog on Steemit or Busy or Steempeak or any other frontend. The best way to get them in has to be specialized apps.

In the past week, I've been experimenting with @ACTIFIT. I love it. Its simple, takes very little of my time and lets me make a steem post and earn some actifit tokens while doing it. SMTs will help out too. I know I sound like one of those propaganda guys trying to show off how great STEEM is with SMTs and other things(reminds me of @ackza), but I have so many ideas in my head right now that are boiling and I don't know how to get them down on paper(or in this case, a keyboard).

Ok, let met talk you through it. Actifit is an app that lets me walk and records my activity and then I can make a STEEM post that'll reward me for the day's walk. I've chosen not to post unless I get over 10k steps, but someone else can post once a day if they want to. It isn't spammy, and it rewards healthy behavior. Plus, they have a 30 word minimum to post(that I think should be increased to 50). They reward based on Actifits held, and rank as well as how well the post was made and the activity for the day. So someone dedicated can make a couple bucks a day with the tokens and STEEM rewards.

Thats easier to get people into doing than getting them to start writing full on blogs to get them onto STEEM. Thats not the only front end thats doing something different though, you have @steemhunt which is showcasing different products, @musing acting like a Q and A site. All of these are how we can help gather more people into STEEM. It's much too hard for them to try and figure out how to blog and navigate the site with all the confusing stuff. But those simple front ends just focus on what the user will need for their site. Some things don't need to display your wallet because you might not use it with that front end. Advanced users still have STEEMIT and Busy to turn to.

And now with STEEMMONSTERS, we have an addicting game. If we can get tons of people into it and playing it every day, imagine how much more popular STEEM would get. They can get rewarded once the tournaments open up(even now they get booster packs a day for completing quests which can be opened and the cards inside sold for cash). They can put the initial 10 bucks in, and open up a pack by playing the game and wow, they got a card worth $10. Boom, they evened out and the game was like its free. And did I mention that it is addicting? I play it wayyyy too much. What can I say, it is fun. I wish it was more interactive, but maybe someone will release another game that uses the cards and is more interactive(from the response I got a comment I made earlier, it seems like they are all in for people making other games that utilize the cards, but ask first).

Sorry if this post sounded ranty. I had ideas that I wanted to get out into people's brains before I lost them myself.
