Excited about Steem and Steem Negativity

avatar

At first when I started checking out Steemit again and posting I kept seeing everyone write about #newsteem and was kind of turned off by the phrase. Yeah right, #newsteem my a$$, I'm tired of everyone writing all this fluff about Steem.

Fast forward to 5 or so days later and I have to say I'm a fan of #newsteem as well. Maybe it's just because I've taken a much-needed break to focus on things going in RL or things are actually different on the blockchain I'll leave it to you to make that decision.

Tribes

I've noticed that my posts get more natural upvotes and comments from people that have never before upvoted or commented on my posts. My only explanation is that more manual curation is taking place after the hardfork or that the new Tribes are allowing more people to see my posts.

I have no way to prove any of it, just a theory, but I'm really enjoying the new tribes.

I've always enjoyed talking about investing especially when it comes to crypto and that's why I have enjoyed the new #steemleo tribe. Not only do I think the SteemLeo tribe and tag is bringing more attention to my posts, but it's also providing a platform for me to see new content from authors I've never read before on the platform.

Neoxian seems like another good tribe that is being implemented. If you don't believe me here's 10 reasons Neoxian is worth investing in according to @ironshield.

It seems to have a quick growing community surrounding it as well as neoxian himself at the backbone of the community. Speaking of tribes with large communities planet would be one worth checking out as well.

Steem Monsters

In a market that is either losing value or struggling to hold it's value, chances are if you've invested in Steem Monsters your booser packs and cards have either held their value or seen a steady increase in value.

I wrote a recent post about the market and how well it's been doing. Alpha packs have pretty much doubled in value Legendaries and Alpha summoners have also seen a nice increase as well.

@steemmonsters has also recently announced some new reward cards are coming out as they have some existing reward cards that are about to run out, so you can expect some of those cards to start slowly increasing in value as well.

Steem-Engine

Minus the introduction of Tribes Steem-Engine has started to burn out for me. I really like some of the new tribes tokens and the fact that @aggroed has released a silver-backed token that can potentially be redeemed for 10 oz of silver (plus shipping and some other small fees, read more about it in the post linked above).

Steem-Engine will be exciting again one day, but I'm hoping all the "crap coins" and some of the interfaces will be cleaned up. It will be nice to see past trades made and open trades that are still pending. Regardless I'm awaiting more future tokens that will be me excited to trade on the platform again.

Steem Negativity

First of all, I agree we can all do a better part about getting more and better information out about the Steem blockchain so it's just not known as a ninja mined project that Dan abandoned because it is so much more than that.

I don't think we should be too caught up or concerned with that negativity though.

For instance, look at how much negativity is thrown at Ethereum recently. Ethereum price will never go back up because it's only use case was to purchase ICO's and ICO's are dead. Ethereum will never be able to scale and Tether is already filling up the Ethereum blockchain 100% in a bear market, so what will happen in a bull market.

Bitcoin will never be able to scale on-chain and so will never be able to function as a currency. There is too much division on the bitcoin project so improvements will never be made and the lightning network is just trying to centralize a decentralized project.

Satoshi Lite (Charlie Lee) sold all his Litecoin at the top because he knows the project is dead and will never be as good as Bitcoin. Ripple is just a centralized junk project. Most other projects are just vaporware and can never live up to the claims they are making.

new s

Steem will eventually get to the point where it can't be ignored anymore. I can't back this up, but I've always said, there are a lot of people that make their entire living or some of their living by working in the Steem ecosystem. That always means that Steem is going to have some downward price pressure as well as the yearly inflation.

Other projects people don't actually use the tokens / crypto so as the price goes down they can just hold and wait for the price to go back up.

I do take some profits from Steem and diversify into other projects as a safety net, but if I didn't believe in Steem for the long term I would have already powered down a long time ago. Steem has an awesome bright future and we can all help spread the word about how amazing Steem is and eventually they won't be able to ignore us.

I'm all with you and agree with the ideas and thoughts you have provided regarding the #newsteem it feels reals.
I noticed there is a mistake in planet I guess you meant to write palnet.

It seems to have a quick growing community surrounding it as well as neoxian himself at the backbone of the community. Speaking of tribes with large communities planet would be one worth checking out as well.

Thanks for such a nice post and yeah I'm also hoping that this change will last and the ecosystem will get renew for the best and the long run term and future will be brighter than it seems today.

Good write up, I agree that most other crypto projects have a big gap in what is promised and what those chains deliver to the user.
Steem to me still seems to work best for what its purpose is and also adds a lot of new dapps and projects that are user focused.
Lets hope investors will soon pick up some cheap Steem.
Cheers

Yeah I think Steem also does a good job at trying to decentralize as well even now with the Steem Proposal System it will be interesting to see when we get teams one day that compete to see who can do upgrades cheaper.

I would like for what you said to end up being true for sure. It has been a rough couple of days. I enjoy the various tribes as well but maybe it is just me but i feel like there are so many of them that it is difficult to know which one to flock towards.

Yeah, I'm not sure which of the ones will "win out", but those that pick the right ones will be rewarded.

I'm going to invest more time in Steem Leo and Sports Talk as those are the two that I enjoy talking/reading about anyways.

Neoxian and PAL are two "steemit" competitors to me as they're just general tribes.
