Yes! I can’t lie. This platform has declined into money/greed issues along with the abuse of whale power. @ned and @dan have still not found our ‘Product Market Fit’ to generate the audience we need, so our market cap continues to fall. The best marketing plan in the world only works when you have a killer product and a killer market who are frenzied for your product. We appear to have neither. All the upgrades are meaningless unless we develop a killer edge. Perhaps new blood could lead us to these new rabid users and away from the internal bitching and widespread whale abuse.
I don't know if new blood is needed to take steemit to the next level, as an investors though I will say a few things surprise me.
1- 100+ applications have been built for steem yet there is no steem/SBD wallet. A one purpose wallet so people can buy steem on an exchange and store steem safely without having to reveal their identity by registering on steemit via a mobile number.
2- There is no direct connection with the fiat world. Many solutions are available such as changelly that steemit could integrate with to make buying steem very easy, what are they waiting for?
3- The roadmap doesn't seem focus on increasing the utility of steem. As a leader trying to bootstrap a new currency 'closing the loop' would be my top priority. For instance I havn't seen a steem credit card or marketplace on the agenda.
'closing the loop' is perhaps the fire exit to the rabid hordes that we so desperately need to let in not out! ... Godspeed!!
Ripple has a great connection with the fiat world. Steemit could learn a lot here.
I used to be a fan of Ripple, but then it became too un-intuitive so I left for Steemit.
While, I considered a drama token. I feel this has crossed the line into trolling. Maybe someone needs to develop a troll token.
drama + trolling = drolling = droll token!
Great idea generators - crap product implementers! EJECT!!
There is no doubt that implementation has been poor over the last 6 months.
I don't meant to troll, as they are great guys, but the platform is now stagnant with endless bots and abusive whales! Changes are required!
You seem a decent bloke who has been punished by troll flaggers or whales!?
