Vlog 193: STEEM, The sleeping giant has woken up.

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)


What a difference one day can make!

I feel great this morning, the markets look stable and in the green.

STEEM and SBD both look very nice above 4 dollars.

In the end, I can say that I was very impressed with how resilient STEEM has proven to be in this recent rollercoaster.

The new bottom seems to be around $3.

When it comes to STEEM I have said for a very long time all you have to do is wait.

And that's the narrative I based a large part of my blog on for the last 18 months.

And that is I think the biggest revelation I got in the last two week when everything changed.

The waiting part is over.

STEEM is now where I always thought it could be.

Just look at some recent stats.


200K new posts per day.

50K active members per day.

1K new account created daily.

1277 on the Alexa ranking and climbing.

1.5 million transactions a day on the blockchain. (more than any other)

Steemprice > $4


And this does not even include all the value that's being created through development by the STEEM inc. team (SMT's, scaling, hf20) and community members. (dTube, dSound, busy.org, utopian.io, eSTEEM and many more).

It's incredible.

I think we can say now that the sleeping giant has woken up.



I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.

every stat increasing weekly! what a joy I am feeling! Steem is heading to high hights this year and beyond! thanks alot for motivating us even more!

Steem indeed is a giant . Investors in other cryptos have nothing to look up to than just staring at charts and hoping the price recovers ,here we are able to increase our steem and sbd holdings without necessarily investing extra.

This is so true, that's why we are different from other crypto and we can definitely go further by creating values through information exchange.

hi

Thanks for the positive post.

I, too, am super bullish on STEEM. I am holding to $100 by year end. You summed up all that is going on.

SMTs are going to be a real game changer in my opinion. The creation of new tokens will bring a ton of traffic to this blockchain. More traffic equals more bandwidth needed which is priced in STEEM. Plus I expect a few airdrops to SP holders to try and lure them to the newer sites in an effort to generate some activity (and bring some people with high upvotes).

2018 is going to be an amazing year for not only STEEM but cryptos in general. I just put up a post detailing how the money on Wall Street isnt even here. The institutions are still on the sidelines..forget billions, they deal in trillions.

Would you buy now? lol

Everyday I am looking at steem, I see what you have been saying all along.
Steemians, we are reason steem is so strong.
KEEP ON HODLING.
we are the real value.
We are the true value.
Keep on steemin'!

why is sbd at $2 now on bitshares exchange?

why did one of the founders i think #ned power down 72 million steem?

The main issue I am seeing is that there are so many spam/begging/inane posts that it is difficult to find decent content.

Another question, with all of this growth, if the number of witnesses is not growing how does the blockchain store all of this new content? Like video?

Another question, if you are a witness running a server, how much storage do you need to have right now, and how much should be planning to have for next month?

In general I am having difficulty finding any community willing to discuss the actual issues.

I am brand new to STEEM, but like what I see so far in the community. I also was new to crypto all together late last year and it is amazing in the speed in which these platforms/technologies progress. I have so much to learn and am grateful for all those that are sharing good information.

hi

Hi - back at you.

I think steem hasn't even drank it's coffee yet :) it's barely starting to wake up.

I'd have to agree, until there is a working mobile app, the masses can not adopt it.

This is all still so new to me! coming across your channel has been very helpful! looking forward to all of your future content :)

they are not gonna stop at all the steem is rocking the charts of transactions per day and can scale up way higher its just a matter of time it will see new heights which we have not even thinked of before

SKEWED! ;)

I expect the android app will be even more popular, I get the impression most crypto users arent huge Apple fans

you had waited a lot for it and never give up on it wow that much patience truly hats off to your for sticking with this :)

Dtube seems to have started bringing people over in droves, thanks to YouTube’s wonderful new censorship and demonetization. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if youtube and Facebook are responsible for Steem rising to great heights?

Waiting for some is a tough game. But waiting for me has paid off. Longterm gains are the best!

You're so right about cycling in London. It's not only a death wish, people do die a lot - hit by cars on the road while cycling. It was one of the things I was astonished by in Amsterdam when I first went. I actually thing it's more crazy in Amsterdam as you have to worry about 5 different kinds of vehicles when crossing the road - trams, busses, cars, etc.. but everyone is orderly, not like here :)

I like your summary below the post. Also if you watch the video you can get quick overview in advance.

Was the word you were looking for "skewed"?

Looking forward to the android application!

YES! That's it!

Anything is possible in the Crypto market. As someone who has been trading for several years, the main thing I've learned is never do something out of fear. This can be applied in all areas of you life and not just the Crypto scene. Great post by the way.

Yes its a sigh of relief indeed after a spell of horrible days. Nyway I would like to thank you since I copied your idea of creating content in Dtube. I don't have anything else to talk about so I started creating guitar lessons everyday for steemit. I don't know it will draw attention of the curators or not but I will continue as a service to the community and love for music. Today will be my 7th day of consecutive upload. Don't want to spam you with too many links I just want to share one link with you and say thanks again.:)

It would be great if the liquid steem from the Steemit account will be used for marketing or any other kind of promotion that will help this blockchain continue to grow.

Nice stats mate. Steemit will go to moon slowly and steadily. It is safe from kind of rollercoasters 🎢 and heartthrobbing journey of other cryptos. so, best crypto for long term and safe investment.

Excellent video my friend and i am also so excited to see the launch of steemify app for android and man that will be a fantastic development and i am sure young generation need such app more because i see most of the young one's are using android more frequently and friend i am also so happy to see the steem becomes stable again and whynot it's such an amazing coin that every one just want to hold it as much as they can, thanks for sharing your nice thoughts with us, Stay blessed

We have some cycle lanes in Britain , it its nothing like The Netherlands. The Netherlands is amazing for cycling..

It is!

yeah as many have mentioned in January from the past 3 years we are noticing crypto goes down for some time and then it goes up, and now its the right time to buy some crypto coins because now it will go up and will touch the sky as it did it the early days of January.
I always love to read your article @exyle .

As the sleeping giant is aweak, it may be become more power full and positive to bring us good rewards.Thanks for your great experience in the steemit world, you are the back bone of the community, so we always follow your advice and suggestion. Thanks for sharing.

I think it's clear that steem will recover and there are other things that are coming soon that are going to continue pushing it upwards. And so will Bitcoin. But in the long run, I'm firmly on the STEEM train as I see a lot more utility and a superior technology. Bitcoin is already bogged down and the network can't handle the load - it's slow and expensive. A proper currency should be much faster to transact in. Just like STEEM :)

YES!!! so happy.. 1 month ago Steem was $1 then to 8.. now $4 so we should all be happy.. a perfect bottom to grow again..

The new bottom is at 3 $. HF20 is not here yet. SMT's is not here yet. Communities is not here yet. FIAT/STEEM exchange is not here yet. Not even 1 million users yet. For many, Steemit can give them a full time salary by working a few hours pr. week if they just power up, hold, and engage with the community. One more thing! - Since you are working a lot for a better platform (witness, always voting comments etc) have you thought about waiting to vote on your own post for some time, so you can reward your followers with better curation rewards? I will start doing that today, even though my SP is nowhere near yours :)

the stats are just mind blowing the more the people get in the higher the prices will go just a matter of patience from now on

Isn't it great! I also saw it this morning. If a had a flag I would hang it outside the window.

LOL!

Goodmorning Mark, indeed impressive stats. And this STEEM giant will surely grow.
The capacity and power is more then enough, that is already proven.
So the number of new steemians which join and stay will be enourmous as well.
Together we build !

This is none of my business, really, but it's a good rule of thumb in crypto not to doxx people. Unless a user brings up his name personally, I'd not mention it.

Nothing personal, and this doesn't even concern me, but in general.

hi

If the liquid STEEM from the power down is no put on the market, then it´s much more like a coin burn in a way, right? Which would be a good thing for everyone. ...and I have to mention again, that I really love your videos and authentic style @exyle - you are the first person here, where I also feel a personal connection through your videos and would like to go for a beer and just hang out - that´s really something that doesn´t happen very often to me - actually like never :D Ok... I´ll stop it now, before I sound like a fanboy and I ask you, if you want to marry me lol

I'm not 100% what they will do with the 1.8 million that is still liquid. The rest of the PD has been put into delegation to awesome projects on the blockchain. Thanks for your compliment!

Im prettu shure steem will soon be im top 20 on market cap!

@exyle it will be exciting to see once the Android STEEMIFY is fully functional.

steem is cool af

I'm supporting your witness. Glad to be on board for the progression of the new steemit tools.
Looking forward to adding the Android version of steemit to my device.
Have a great blue sky day in the Netherlands!

Thanks for the consistent Steem updates. Its crazy to see how far this network has made it in just a year since I've been hear. I've recently become re inspired about Steem now that I see how well D.tube and the other front ends are doing. I can't even imagine what this project will morph into when SMT's start launching left and right.

Nice post. STEEM looks very strong and I am very bullish. I expect it will hit at least $20 by the end of the year. STEEM will be a big winner after all the dust settles whit the coins that are scams or do not provide any value.

Growth and success for you)

Great job here. i gave a follow and upvote. am new here i need your help. Thanks

Oh, yes, my friend, the giant has woken up and I'm sure will start a violent move! Of the post-election days that we had to experience, as you correctly noted, the Steem has stood it well and under all influential markets it has been tested, it is very reassuring to me! Statistics Steemit also shows rapid dynamics and despite the difficulties people believe in our ecosystem and continue their activities! Thank you Mark and keep us informed of what's happening!

keep up the good work @exyle.

Yeah the rising of STEEM and SBD is just like a magic lol. I hope it gets more and more awakened lol.

That's the beauty of patience @exyle :)

thats great .
keep it up.
there is huge number of users on steemit but steem is still on 4$.

yes this awesome information thank you for sharing @exyle

I stumbled upon this platform several months ago. I was looking for an alternative to blogpost and YouTube and I found something way better! I hope one day Steemit and its partner sites (d.tube and others) become the superior alternative to what's already out there!

I also believe steem will be a huge game changer in 2018. And I'm really glad to join here as a creator.

You are right, my friend.
Steem even stood up in this big dream :)
I have already mentioned this in a summer of sanirim, steem and SBD are coming up.
It's 5 bucks, but I believe it will be even higher.
Steemit is still a new platform, it grows very fast, I hope it will be a bigger Steemit :)
@exyle

truly in fact, I am happy the ways things went in most recent few days, occasion the various alt are straggling steem was steady and this is great sign as you specify, details are marvelous looking.

Great video

The reassuring thing is that steemit is just warming up, did not even start playing yet. I am absolutely confident that it will be making headlines this year and even hit the Top 10 in crypto pretty soon. :)

Steemit is a revolution in the crypto's world and what will surely follow many others, finally common people will see a real use to this apart from constantly looking at graphs without doing anything really useful

Great post.Thanks for sharing it

I predict $5-$10 range for the next month although it could break higher.

1K new accounts daily wow even at the congestion going on currently so just think how many people are actually awaiting to get on to the board and many will invest in steem lots of power ups coming :)

the sleeping giant when roar everyone sees ;)
finally we are off to a flyer and its not gonna stop at all

Good content and quite interesting and a good read. Thanks.

Ready to skyrocket! Numbers speak for themselves, it is the biggest blockchain on coinmarketcap, it is just a matter of time, Steem is still relatively young and it will have the attention it deserves.

Learning how this platform works and enjoying social media so much more than before! Thank you @steemit!

The best part is the positivity i feel from you tone its like one day steem was 8 dollars and now we are looking at 3 dollars and you sound positive about the whole roller coaster. cool.

Internet is slow here, and i couldn't go through your video, but reading your post have been a pleasure, and I am really hopeful about steem. I've been informed from a crypto expert friend of mine that btc is going to reach 50k this year, I hope steem is going to hit the sky too

I'm both thrilled and disappointed that Steem is at $4. I wish I bought more when it was less than a dollar, but hindsight is always 20/20.

Things are moving really well around here. I was checking out Utopian the other day and it is such a genius idea. So many good platforms can be built on the steem blockchain. Other currencies can be hard forked and made into a new currency with a different name. I don't think the same can be done with Steem as you would need to recreate all the platforms that run on it, right?

Good news and thanks for sharing brother @exyle

Goodmorning Mark, it's an impressive statistic. And this STEEM giant is sure to grow.
Capacity and strength are enough, which has been proven. I am very cerian I know this steemit .. thanks for telling about the steemit system ..

The Steem price is encouraging. Actually, crypto currency is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient. The key is to buy and hold.

DTube is our future!
We only need to put some work into it.

When I was walking back home I saw a strange old man dancing in the middle of the street. Seems everyone is celebrating :d

Great post Exyle

I don't think the days of 1 dollar steem are coming back

Honestly, I am very happy to read your article, you create an exciting content that can make me relax reading it, can you visit my blog ?? @umar97

I was think this too... that steem new bottom is 3..or 2 $ ... And this is very good sign. Now I want see when we are up 15 $ ... I think this is next big thing.
And if you can, will you be able to get info when the exchange homepages will go open ? for new users.
They do not share information... how long we still have to wait.
@exyle

I still remember the days when both STEEM and SBD were both under a dollar, and I still hesitated to purchase !! The same goes to many other currencies, man !!

yes this is very nıce count and blog I follow you

Who would've thought that I join steemit at such a great times?
I'm really glad that giant is opening its eyes, I hope I will be able to be together with you guys on the ride.

I appreciate the uplifting post too! Glad to see you destressed! I am an android user so am excited about the Steemify announcement!! Glad also the weather has brightened up and the wind calmed down! Take good care. Good things are happening for sure. Thanks for sharing your perspective 🗻

Good post! Good to know that STEEM and SBD are​ strong​ enough that we can build on them as a foundation. Maybe in a few months, ​more people will be able to switch it with​ their daily job, and instead of doing something that they don't like, it will be a more enjoyable way to earn regular ​income.

STEEM, SBD and Steemians are resilient.
It's a good morning from me to you @exyle

@exyle,
By this sudden price drop I understood STEEM will not drop back to $2 or less again! Hope now it's bull time and we can see a huge price up in next couple of months! Nice post!

Cheers~

You rightly said that dear @exyle:
sleeping giant has woken up and will move on with speed This is the voice of every steemian indeed!
With the passage of time steem will more stable. And $3 for bottom is a very good sign. Now everyone is secure. In my opinion steem will remain under $10 till the BTC remains under 15k. But one thing is not clear at all.
What is your take on SBD?Lots of people say it one Dollar value , Some say undervalued. I want to know your view point on it after the recent Market ups and downs.
All the very best dear, please keep updating us with your latest research. Thanks!

"giant" is a proper title for steem .. continue steam !!! do not care dog bark .. this must pass.

And the greatest part of it all is the community of people here!
So many people who are achieving goals of a lifetime!

Happy steeming everyone
Cheers!

waking up slowly and steady i like the way it is now gearing up for the next big things the patience will pays off :)

That's pretty awesome blockchain back again.
But Steem.supply doesn't work yet?
What's the reason if you know?

Indeed Steemit has always stood its fame inspite instability in price system. Its resilience nature qualifies it a lucrative platform for investors. Thanks for always keeping us abreast with posts such as this @exyle

Goooooo Steem!! 🤗🤗

We need more apps on steem block chian to book movie tickets, flight tickets, to buy household things, real estate etc. just by using steem currency ... Then only Steem and USD or INR are matchable ...

Great

Steem and SBD definitely bounced back faster than a lot of others. Great to see!

steem finally found the momentum which was required its goes up up and above and that too stably good for very long term

steem is wonderful and deifnatley a giant ,without any doubt we can say gaint to steem,solind sbd holding is very easiest thing here on steem ..love steemit

lol first of all nice post title, really befits it the sleepy giant as woken up and seems the crypto market is experiencing a boom now and kudos to those once again that hodl and didn't panic during this hard time

I have only recently found you,keep up the good work.
i'm enjoying watching your videos sir :)

Great points, great platform. 2017 was the year for crypto awarness, lets make 2018 the year of adoption.

Both are going to be around 7.5 dollars in the near future. This is my analysis of demand to price and to volume curve together.

You feel great, that's why,the market was green
Great day for you

Great news! I knew it . Steemit is revolution and you guys are awesome.
Thanks for existing.

its going to be a fun ride on the steem block chain with this pace it will go beyond my imaginations for sure
