Vlog 193: STEEM, The sleeping giant has woken up.

in #life6 years ago (edited)


What a difference one day can make!

I feel great this morning, the markets look stable and in the green.

STEEM and SBD both look very nice above 4 dollars.

In the end, I can say that I was very impressed with how resilient STEEM has proven to be in this recent rollercoaster.

The new bottom seems to be around $3.

When it comes to STEEM I have said for a very long time all you have to do is wait.

And that's the narrative I based a large part of my blog on for the last 18 months.

And that is I think the biggest revelation I got in the last two week when everything changed.

The waiting part is over.

STEEM is now where I always thought it could be.

Just look at some recent stats.


200K new posts per day.

50K active members per day.

1K new account created daily.

1277 on the Alexa ranking and climbing.

1.5 million transactions a day on the blockchain. (more than any other)

Steemprice > $4


And this does not even include all the value that's being created through development by the STEEM inc. team (SMT's, scaling, hf20) and community members. (dTube, dSound, busy.org, utopian.io, eSTEEM and many more).

It's incredible.

I think we can say now that the sleeping giant has woken up.



I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.

We build Steemify a notification app for your Steemit account for iOS.

every stat increasing weekly! what a joy I am feeling! Steem is heading to high hights this year and beyond! thanks alot for motivating us even more!

Steem indeed is a giant . Investors in other cryptos have nothing to look up to than just staring at charts and hoping the price recovers ,here we are able to increase our steem and sbd holdings without necessarily investing extra.

This is so true, that's why we are different from other crypto and we can definitely go further by creating values through information exchange.

Thanks for the positive post.

I, too, am super bullish on STEEM. I am holding to $100 by year end. You summed up all that is going on.

SMTs are going to be a real game changer in my opinion. The creation of new tokens will bring a ton of traffic to this blockchain. More traffic equals more bandwidth needed which is priced in STEEM. Plus I expect a few airdrops to SP holders to try and lure them to the newer sites in an effort to generate some activity (and bring some people with high upvotes).

2018 is going to be an amazing year for not only STEEM but cryptos in general. I just put up a post detailing how the money on Wall Street isnt even here. The institutions are still on the sidelines..forget billions, they deal in trillions.

Would you buy now? lol

Everyday I am looking at steem, I see what you have been saying all along.
Steemians, we are reason steem is so strong.
KEEP ON HODLING.
we are the real value.
We are the true value.
Keep on steemin'!

why is sbd at $2 now on bitshares exchange?

why did one of the founders i think #ned power down 72 million steem?

The main issue I am seeing is that there are so many spam/begging/inane posts that it is difficult to find decent content.

Another question, with all of this growth, if the number of witnesses is not growing how does the blockchain store all of this new content? Like video?

Another question, if you are a witness running a server, how much storage do you need to have right now, and how much should be planning to have for next month?

In general I am having difficulty finding any community willing to discuss the actual issues.

I am brand new to STEEM, but like what I see so far in the community. I also was new to crypto all together late last year and it is amazing in the speed in which these platforms/technologies progress. I have so much to learn and am grateful for all those that are sharing good information.

I think steem hasn't even drank it's coffee yet :) it's barely starting to wake up.

I'd have to agree, until there is a working mobile app, the masses can not adopt it.

This is all still so new to me! coming across your channel has been very helpful! looking forward to all of your future content :)

they are not gonna stop at all the steem is rocking the charts of transactions per day and can scale up way higher its just a matter of time it will see new heights which we have not even thinked of before

SKEWED! ;)

I expect the android app will be even more popular, I get the impression most crypto users arent huge Apple fans
