I think something like facebook could be build using steem blockchain. And with cryptography your post would only be visible for your friends if you want that.

I agree and disagree! I think that we need room for another blockchain platform for social media like Facebook - Steemit is a fantastic place to voice your thoughts, but people will also want a social network for only their friends and families

that's a really great point. I think the end result will be most of the internet converting to a blockchain system. As an eerie thought, maybe the government will get behind the blockchain technology in the hopes of using the ledger as a permanent tracking system...

Agree with Luke. It's more like Reddit and Blogging site. A blockchain platform for social media like facebook will be a great thing.

You ask a very good question. To be honest I think steemit will grow a lot faster then Facebook and eventually be more valuable then Facebook. Just my opinion. Ofcorse that could take years.

Because alot of people dont know that it exists i plus i have started yestarday and have no clue how to make money

It's still a relatively new platform. Give it time and I'm sure it will become more and more popular. 😀

I hate Facebook, so glad I found Steemit! I'm an artist from Montreal, Canada. Facebook made my biz page and group I spent years building useless to reach my followers and fans... Nice to have a much better platform now to share my art!

Facebook is rubbish. Full of pushed left wing bias. Restricted freedom of speech and pushed adverts.
Steemit is much better in my opinion. :)

My guess is facebook's algorithms purposely put left wing stuff in right wing people's newsfeeds, and vice versa, because I see both sides saying the same thing. My guess is their stats show people who argue on facebook probably click on ads more, so, best way to make them argue? Put mainly opposing views in their newsfeeds...

yeah , you have that point on adverts , hate ads, useless, hate ads on tv , internet, everywere. Seems I have a problem :D

To answer your question, yes it can become a big player in social media, but it still has a lot of growing up to do. Can it beat Facebook? Honestly, I doubt it, because they have such a big amount of money that they could buy SteemIt if they would feel threatened...

As for your 7 points, number 3 is an interesting insight that I have not noticed yet. Have you seen SteemIt posts starting to rank for any keywords? If yes, that would be quite an advantage for sure.

Deep point Its a Question because some people still using facebook.

Never had a facebook. Never plan to get one. Never had the privilege of crying or being pissed off because somebody deleted me from their facebook. What the hell is that about anyway... Whaaaa he deleted me from facebook I'm going to die.
Anyways Steemit pays you to post. Time is money. I'm here and gonna post and post until some whale swallows me.

True story bro!

nice animals,,,

Mark suckerberg is scratching his balls right now because steemit is dominating the world of social media. :D

This meme poses a good question!
Because unlike Steemit, I feel that a lot of Facebook users only care about the drama that goes hand in hand with the social media platform. Steemit, at least I have come to learn these past few days, is an outlet where I can see so many amazing people do so many IMG_0853 amazing things. I can read quirky stories, I can find inspiration through art, there are contests promoting healthy competition and it's a great way to get to know people and yourself.

I have been trying to get my friends to join and I always get "maybe ill check it out" and thats it. Ive even shared that Im already making money and it seems like they dont even believe me! Smh...lol

I've burned a lot of bridges in many years of failed MLM attempts. I also lost credibility a few weeks back when Bitconnect shut down :( I link a few pages from Steemit every now and then just to put it out there and hopefully their curiosity will get the best of them....

I doubt that question is still valid, especially to the crypto world...

STEEMIT

I've been walking a month not using faceebook, for now I prefer the activity in steemit that teaches me to diligent writing.

Wow! Did you quit cold turkey? (Serious question) I hate to admit but I am sort of a social media whore. I know they have me addicted but it is hard to just unplug and cut ties with those who only use those platforms.

no, i am not deciding to quit the old social media, maybe you are misinterpreting the intent that I am conveying. (this is also a serious answer) not a social media whore

I get it now. I inferred "not using" to mean quitting. thanks.

yes, hopefully this is not a serious issue between us.

Haha, oh no. I was just curious how it was to quit FB. No worries, I was mistaken

Steemit i soscial network built for gathering people with brain to help solve some issues in world, while FB is a giant that only cares for money...

What came first, the chicken or the egg, I ask? Who cares, says I, as long as I get paid? You?

Lol we dont need Facebook @lawrenceho84 Resteemed

Ha ha
