HF20 is the first step towards the new future of the Steem blockchain and it's awesome.
As I expected the new changes hardly have anything to do with current users and content creation. It all has to do with empowering entrepreneurs and developers to make this blockchain grow to incredible new heights.
The first step: The new on-boarding process. This will make it possible for entrepreneurs and developers to onboard users themselves. (Signup on dtube, dlive, steepshot).
No more need to get redirected to steemit.com where you have to go though a cumbersome free signup process or have to pay to join.
Being able to join the Steem Blockchain (without even knowing what it is) from any application/frontend (that chooses to support it) you encounter on the web is major!
Future steps are now so easy to see.
Once Dapps/communities can onboard their own users easily then through SMT's and Hivemind they can empower them.
This is how the vision of 100.000 entrepreneurs on the blockchain will play out in my mind.
The only thing that will connect all of it will be the Steem blockchain and the most powerful token of all: STEEM(power).
Again, I have said this often.
The Steempower you have earned so far with blogging has been the easiest STEEM you ever earned.
Unless you have future plans to build amazing apps like Steem Monsters you have to accept the fact that you will earn less and less Steem in the future.
I consider the future for the blockchain so bright that I bought another 5000SP yesterday.
I talk about it more in my vlog.

Greetings, Great Exyle
I'm also an investor in this plataform, like you. Of course, I'm just a small fish hehehe.
I think this hard fork may be an initial step towards implementing the SMT!!!
I hope that happens soon.
Thank you and Good morning!!!!

Really liking the future of STEEM right now. I have a community of followers on various websites that won't even touch STEEM due to the account creation nonsense, so once it gets streamlined it's gonna be so cool to get a lot more people over here.

Do you think the HF20 split will happen at the time it is tentatively planned? I'm thinking it will be dragged out for as long as can be until BTC comes "roaring back" to spark renewed interest.

I didn't really think it from this angle. Yeah this is actually looking pretty great for Dapps as they would be able onboard their users (without bringing them to steemit) and that is a pretty good way to empower them.
Can't really agree with your opinion about comments. Its more than a little shortsighted. This is a incentivized system where comments get rewarded. If the comments wern't rewarded then having the 3 second rule could have been justified. In the present incentivized scenario, questioning the idea of 'quality comments' is like questioning what's the point of 'quality posts'.
I am a bit concerned that comment bot and spammers will get a little more leeway this way. I do understand that spammy comments will get through no matter the 3 second or 20 second limitation. Just don't think that empowering them by lowering the time period threshold will help. Obviously this is just my opinion as a steem novice and thus my reasoning might be full of holes.

Exyle did you lose weight?
Your face looks a bit smaller.
It might be the Streem price stress.
No joke. I feel the same about Crypto.
But like you've said, no emotions, or at least don't worry. It's still only 2018.

That’s exactly what Steem price to get boost in the long needs. There are others I follow powering up instead of sooo many doing nonsense powering down. Great to have you as your follower. lol it’s already hard to earn any Steem.

I agree with almost everything you mentioned and yes, STEEM blockchain has come so far! but i disagree on the 3 second-comment...
First, like you said, writing a meaningfull comment takes more then 3 seconds, and , like you said, maybe you just want to say thank you as a reply to a comment, well, then it takes more then 3 seconds to read a comment imo, yes, maybe 20 seconds was way too much, maybe something in the middle, but 3 seconds is way to little... Won't it increase the spamming on the blockchain?

That'll depend on the recharge rate for Resource Credits and the RC cost of a comment.

I still need to read a little more into the system then... I'm not complaining, i trust that the witnesses and developers know what they are doing, they don't want spamming either :P

That experience that you mentioned is exactly what I would do, If I was a new user and found DLive why the hell would I create a Steemit account... :D (especially if you have to pay or wait so long)
Two big steps forward in the development of the STEEM blockchain only making us more and more bullish for the future.
Btw, I don't think it was a FOMO move, it was your inside trader telling you buy the bottom and you will make lots of money.

I actually am more excited about the dtube announcement than the HF20 one. Although I will admit I missed the exact impact of the onboarding by the apps so that excites me even more.
My post this morning talked about both . While you focused upon HF, I went the DTube route. I love the idea of Dtalk and DTV. Not sure how that will impact DLive but the more the merrier.
Another sensational video my friend.

No it's not. The Steem blockchain is free to use. Earning Steem without SP is tough but not impossible. Once SMT's come out the new phase for content creators will begin.

Reading your reply I get a bump with the word SMT and thought that is it somehow related to SME?
Googling it out takes me to the page https://smt.steem.io It gets me so excited.
Yeap I found it tough but this word of yours brings some silver lining into it "not impossible".
And I think all that i have to do right now is to be persistent to it.
I also read on that site that SMTs are like Ethereum's ERC-20 tokens, but with certain built-in ‘Proof-of-Brain’ properties.
And to myself my ‘Proof-of-Brain’ is that I still have my head attached to my neck.
For all that things having a head has a brain.
Or is it?

Hi @exyle. You are doing a great job. Your words are so optimistic and bullish that it is hard not to get pulled in to this positive sentiment!!
I have decided to choose 5 cryptocurrencies that I think will succeed and invest in them. Steem is one of them! What do you think about EOS vs. STEEM?

Thanks so much for your take on HF20 @exyle. I read the account creation stuff yesterday and couldn't make head nor tail of it. Now it makes sense. 😊
I'm looking forward to hearing what you've got say about the DTube update.
Oh yes. And thank you for the upvotes. Just a little bit more to go and then I'll be at 60 and will be trying to get the Byteball airdrop again. (It didn't work last time so I thought I might as well wait until I reached 60 reputation, given I was at 59 at the time) 😁
Have a fun day!

"The Steempower you have earned so far with blogging has been the easiest STEEM you ever earned.

Perhaps this is the reason why many of the Hot and Trending posts nowadays seem only paid without really containing value or understandable content. Steemit has become more of a marketplace than what it's supposed to be - a community.
And @exyle, I, and I know lots of bloggers here, don't want to resort to paying bots and other services just to give our original, carefully- and passionately-written content justice through higher payouts.
I'm not saying the HF20's vision is degrading and mostly "investor"-based, but what's in it for us bloggers, who can't offer anything right now yet but good content?
I hope that as this change brings more entrepreneurs and developers in, the number of users and the whole participating Steemit community also becomes bigger. I hope there are lots of things for everyone to do and participate in, and still be paid for them.

Man, I hope you're right. I haven't powered down once since I've been on Steemit which in hindsight wasn't my smartest decision. I refuse to power down now when steem is only around $1 though so either steem moons again or I'm going down with the ship.
