Everywhere you look on the steem blockchain you can see a positive upswing in the amount of users actively using the blockchain, we just had our biggest two million transaction day recently, user signups are up, retention is good and most of all steem and sbd are holding as bitcoin, the grandaddy takes a vacation down the crypto slide.
just in the last twenty four hours I’ve seen two more followers on my three hour skillshare course, twelve new students and my biggest premium minutes day so far this month with 242 minutes watched yesterday, new people, watching the course for well over an hour each wanting to know how to use the platform — there is a demand, maybe a re-look in at what the platform is all about.
We have a long way to go however on the audience development and retention side, we have to keep up this momentum as they trickle in, new and old users alike, better messaging, better call to actions, regular and daily shows and vlogs - luckily a bunch of sites like dmania, dtube, utopian and dsound are actively feeding that requirement and it’s getting busy! :)
i’d say it would be the perfect time for that steem wallet to come out from steemit — they did say at steemfest 2 that it would be out in december but I’ve not seen anything about that yet, kinda interested on the progress of that, I think once the usual user can see their ‘balance’ like a normal digital banking app they will start to really realise the potential of this social platform powered by financial incentives and the solutions it provides.

I couldn't agree more with the need for a portable wallet that functions like my mobile banking app. People need to be able to convert these cypto's in to gas, coffee, groceries and rent... among other things of course... readily and easily. Then and I suspect only then, will crypto's of all shapes, sizes, and purposes be able create the kind of social trust necessary for most to be willing to trade real world goods or effort for a piece of "data." I think the day is coming, but this seems to me to be one of the next big steps to be taken to see crypto's move out. Thanks. @genxrev

Thanks for confirming my intuition! I feel like such a newb in the crypto space, but my vocation has me trying to be a deep student of people. I'm finding the more I interact with crypto's in general and now Steem in particular it seems to me it really is more about the human dimension than the bits and bytes or even in some ways the dollars and cents... because at the end of the day it is we human types exercising our will that find, determine, create value. Thanks for the feedback.

the great talk recently on @blocktalk really clued me in on how Steemit, D.tube and etc are just the beginning, just the tip of the iceberg of all that can come from apps and entrepreneurs surfing on the STEEM blockchain, exciting prospects!

yeah for sure, i think we need things like that sustained so people can come in ask questions, get involved, see how other 'web apps' use the steem blockchain -- yeah i think once you have communities and lots of other apps utilizing the blockchain to store information on and can be paid by in steem and such like you will see an explosion in price and demand.

Thanks @teamhumble sounds like things are progressing very nicely. Always wondered if having a Community Forum for Steemit would be beneficial ? Thoughts ??

i mean it kinda already is, you could try using chainbb.com by @jesta if you like that style -- https://chainbb.com that's built on the steem blockchain.

Hello @teamhumble! A good post, and yes the blockchain is maturingvery fast as you said! It still does not have the global acceptance, however, I am sure that the days forward are going to be better!
Also, I agree with you that the steem wallet should become independent now, and should become more generic may be - like holding other cryptos, easy conversions, etc. This would be a big step for making steem as a mainstream crypto, accessible to more and more people.
Thanks for sharing!
Upvoted 100% and followed you!
