Ned Scott was spotted at the biggest blockchain event in the world, Consensus 2018.
Ned Scott was recently on a speaking tour in Asia, giving talks at South Korean media companies as well as Universities.
It is looking like he wrapped that up and is now in New York.
This was taken yesterday at the Content Monetization and True Net Neutrality conference in the Grand Ballroom West:

Ned spoke on the future of social media.
Specifically, this was the topic they discussed:
"While there’s a political debate going on around net neutrality, it amounts to little more than who gets to profit from content creators: internet service providers or platform providers like Youtube and Facebook. This panel convenes a group of people who flip this debate so that content creators have skin in the game to monetize their creations."
Not surprising Ned would be asked to speak on this topic as the CEO of Steemit.com.
The other guys on the panel are Ryan Shea of Blockstack, Adi Sideman of YouNow, and Brady Dale of Coindesk.

Unfortunately Ned Scott is the only one that appears to be sleeping during the debate. (I joke, the camera caught him mid blink)
Steem and Steemit represented this year.
It's unfortunate that Ned didn't give a steem and steemit specific pitch (that I am aware of), but this was better than nothing. At least steem and steemit were represented this year as opposed to years past.

It looks like Ned put up a video of his discussion that can be found here as well:

Here's to hoping SMTs are coming down the pipeline in the near future.
Steem could use an injection of some excitement.
Stay informed my friends.
Follow me: @jrcornel
Awesome! Good find, and this is big news. Steem will get lots of new eyeballs from big investors so let’s see if Steem pops accordingly. Would be nice to get back up in $6-$8 range! 🤞🏻

Those numbers sound good to me! Though I am thinking it may take a few months still before we see those kinds of numbers again. We need SMTs to launch sooner rather than later.

Although he didn't bring to talk about Steem, his presence has a positive impact. We can say he is better than Satoshi Nakamoto, lol.

Why does Steem and Steemit not get way more hype, talk, and respect? Steem and its success, growth, vision, adoption, transactions per second and history deserve way more props then it gets.
Steem never gets mentioned in the same breath as ETH, BTC, or LTC, and yet its arguably more important than any of them, today.

I would argue that it shouldn't be mentioned with those coins, yet. However it currently sits at number 32 on coin market cap and I can name about 17 coins that should not be in front of it. Your guess is as good as mine as to why that is.

It seems like we mainly just have a bunch of techy people leading steemit which is in a way is good because you need to have things running smoothly but it doesn't seem like we have the greatest promotional team. It seems like Ned is officially our main promoter but I think he's more of a tech guy.
I think Steem should be about 100% higher but I also think SBD should be lower. I think in the end though things will work out and I'm hoping to see $10 Steem by the end of this year.

Well said sir. The respect that i have for the steemit platform is unequaled.

I think Ned is smart in that he is trying to explain the general concept of the social media crypto and not hype up Steemit. With all these different crypto names flying around, he doesn't want people to get confused! People need to understand Steem first before they use it.

Steem and steemit are coming of age. There might not be a great pitch today, but i bet you something is cooking. Next year will be better. Keep steeming and see you at the top.
Thanks @jrcornel for informing us.

Ned Smart is trying to explain the general idea of the social media crypt, and not to stop Steamit. All of these are flying around with crypto numbers, people need to first understand the steem before they use it.Steam who will be able to do some extraordinary things in the future.

Half bread is better than none. At least he went their and represented steem and steemit.com. By this time next year who knows how many conferences he would have attended as information regarding steemit continues to spread.
Thank you for providing such useful information.

Excitement is needed to get the fish in; some people in Steemit are already successful and hold a lot of the crypto in their pocket.
I see good things coming to Steemit.
Thanks for the update.

Its a shame that debate is who benefits FROM content creators. Instead of HOW content creators benefit from content creation.

Good to see Ned out on the promotion circuit - even better that it is a conference the size of Consensus.
Btw, congrats on the Suns finally receiving the #1 pick!

Thank you! I was shocked to say the least. I had fully prepared myself for the suns to pick 4th, possibly 3rd. I gave them almost no chance of picking number one. Finally I can start rooting for them to win games again as the tanking for draft picks process is finally over.
