RE: STEEM Receives First Wave of Investment [Global Blockchain Technologies Investing $20M into SMTs]
A question for the group... what do you think about this investment? What might it trigger within the entrepreneurial Steem ecosystem? If anyone has additional information about this announcement, please share!
Hmm @voronoi, I think the best part of this investment is that the platform gets more visibility to the public. As mentioned by @dollarvigilante in his talk at Steemfest, he cited that Steem/Steemit needs a better advertising strategy & innovations on its technicality.
Hmm, I will be more happy if a celebrity starts blogging in Steemit! Then shares it to her facebook, instagram & twitter. Haha.
Hey Jassen! Definitely, the visibility is great, but I think it also has big implications for the platforms to-be-built off of SMTs. Personally, I don't think Steemit.com is designed or intends to compete with a Facebook. BUT... with attention snowballing like this, SMTs could become a default third party token for ALL social networks online.
2018 will be an exciting year :)
I think it provides resources for development. Ultimately, past the hype, a blockchain's value comes from the development. I am guessing this leads to a ton of it on here.
The next 6-12 months will see a large number of apps built upon this.
