Twitter investors Naval Ravikant has announced an award for anyone who builds a decentralized social media platform which has no central controller and also rewards users for their contributions.
The price is aimed at decentralized applications on Blockstack's decentralized internet DApps browser, which is hoped to be further suited to support further Blockchain aside Bitcoin, Ehtereum and ZCash.
Here is an excerpt of the article on Coin Desk:
In new remarks to CoinDesk, Naval Ravikant, the co-founder of AngelList, revealed he intends to sponsor a prize that will be awarded to anyone who can develop a version of Twitter with no central authority, and where users are able to monetize their contributions.
Seriously, Coin Desk and Naval Ravikant?!
Is it that you do not know....?
or it is that they have not heard...?
Has no one told them?...?
...about Steem?
Look no further, Steem deserves that "XPRIZE"!
Steem is actually the ONLY blockchain powered media platform which ACTUALLY PAYS!!!
Steem is already up and running for a year now and not even an app - Steem is an open source blockchain platform for blogging and social media.
Anyone can use Steem to build decentralized blogs, social media, forums, and every other type of website clients which are decentralized and yet reward their contributors.
Sure there are countless other blockchain platform which propose to reward users for their contribution, however that is all just talk, talk, talk, code, code, code and nothing, nothing, nothing.
Blockstack's platform is also not going anywhere anytime soon, there is no time to sit and wait for some magical decentralized Twitter to drop out of the sky when Steem is already up and running perfectly.
That XPRIZE belong to @Dan and @Ned - the creators of Steem, end of story.

I agree with you however I think that steemit lacks strategic marketers that will market it to the world. As indicated in my blog posts(see them) steem is undervalued hence the cheap price. Upped.
