“The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.”
― Malcolm Gladwell, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
Yesterday I was watching a video where Roger Ver @rogerkver was talking about Bitcoin in particular and cryptocurrencies in general, and how they can dramatically change the world as the world starts adopting them.
In his eyes, the same passion you can notice as he was explaining and promoting Bitcoin from the very first day, the same excitement, the same ambition.
It’s truly inspiring, especially for someone who has done so much for decentralization and human liberty.
There is this voluntary side to crypto-currencies that makes their expansion only a matter of time it seems. Everyone can just get together whether to solve problems or create momentum around something they’re passionate about, just by the simple fact of aligning themselves with other people who share the same interest.
If you ask me about steemit three years from now, I hope that my eyes will be shining just as Roger's eyes when was talking about the game changing aspects of decentralized currencies.
But meanwhile, let's focus on the present, because the present is amazing, and the future looks even more exciting.
And on that note I would like to present you with this short funny promo:
The role of ads is to create brand awareness, and in that sense I hope that someday in the near/medium future we can see steem reaching critical mass and hitting the tipping point.
Let’s make 2017 the year of adoption for the steem blockchain!
P.S: New video tomorrow. :)

It looks really good, but maybe don't use a cat in every video.
Cats are cute and could drain the reward pool.
Cats draining the reward pool would surely result in more flagging.

My brain works entirely differently... a cat makes me watch ANYTHING. I probably could even watch an entire fútbal match if they put a cat in a teamshirt in the corner. But well, who am I... A CRAZY CAT LADY THAT'S WHAT

I love it, but I'm also crazy, so my opinion may not refect the feelings of the general population.
Also, I think we still have a glitch when using 5 tags (your post will only show in the first tag). Using 4 tags should display all. Not sure if you were aware of that, but it looks like that is still the case.

Oh I didn't know. Thanks for letting me know!
And obviously, I value your opinion a lot.

Yeah, the tag glitch has been an issue since the last hardfork I think.
You can still edit and reduce, or just remember to use 4 tags for now on your future posts until the problem is fixed!

There will be and we will market the bejesus of out of them. That's the plan!
If it's cool with @ned and @dan we can move forward with that direction, by placing these beauties when it matters the most.
The mixture of Creative and Pragmatic marketing is awesome in my opinion,

Yes, marketing is needed by every company and something as revolutionary as this needs A LOT of it. I think dan and ned will be not only be cool with it but encourage it. Thanks for you efforts :)

Hey Kevin thanks!
Yeah the keyword practice is definitely something to be taken in consideration in ads, whether in the videos or banners, or in the title of the ad.
I think we should talk about that more in detail :)

@the-alien your so on point. steemit needs it but i think it will more magic, we went hard with a bit more authority, presenting steemit as much more than the possibility of getting paid for content as an internet breakthrough and something never before accomplished. i hv written a couple of posts on this and coincidentally my most recent steemit post today was also on this. do take a look when you can!

Very cool I may use this if I can find a good spot for its use. Was this filmed as well, or was a template used? I am going with the template. Could be wrong thought. I just found a cool website for making personalized videos like this today.

https://biteable.com/ Hope you find it useful. It is a miracle sch a good site exists when sites like video blocks or others charge such huge monthly fees. I am signed up its very simple through Facebook or email. Let me know how it goes, or show me if you make something. There are templates and you put in your own words. You can make intro videos, statistic videos, channel or social media trailers/ promotions, and much more.
