Dan and his team beat me to the punch

Here's to hoping Steem is a huge success

So about 2 years ago I got the idea in my head to build a blockchain backed social media platform. I came up with a detailed design that would allow me to come into the market with serious advantages over existing players. I developed my own content sorting methodology, a system for a new type of content feed, figured out a few price pegging mechanisms for the token, began talking to investors, interviewing developers... suffice to say I still have the option to pull the trigger on my own project but if Steem delivers the goods you will likely save me 4 or 5 years of my life.

So while part of me is entirely jealous that Steem is at this stage, I also am completely stoked that it's Daniel Larimer and company doing it because I'm actually a huge fan and having spoken to him before I feel if anyone can pull it off, it's him.

So congrats on getting the BETA up and running and getting STEEM listed! I'll be watching VERY closely!

You can always join the team and work together?

Maybe, although I can't imagine Dan would need my help. I feel like I'd only be in the way but if there was an opening where I could be useful, sign me up!

The whole blockchain thing is bigger than anyone person or small group. This thing will evolve and grow so I suggest collaboration as a way of growing the pie. We all want these things to work.
