A Year on the Steem Blockchain – Thoughts about it

in #steem5 years ago (edited)

A couple of days ago I received a nice comment from @steemitboard with a congrats for a birthday.

Happy Birthday! - You are on the Steem blockchain for 1 year!

One year on the STEEM BC.png

For a one year I have been using the Steem blockchain in a various way.

  • Blogging,
  • Analysis,
  • Gaming,
  • Gambling,
  • Hunting products,
  • Staying fit,
  • Other.

It has been an interesting year, and I’m grateful that this place exists and for the new emerging crypto economy. I truly am. It has provided me an opportunity for a personal growth and self realization as nothing before.

The system is far from perfect obviously. But it has been functioning for me for a year. A one whole year making various activates and getting rewarded for it. The BC itself is already three years old. Three years showcasing a new way of doing things.

Some thought about the Steem Blockchain

What I can conclude from this year from a perspective of a total newbie who came to the system without a recommendation from a friend or someone else here to support me is the following.

The system itself is not function for the thing it was predicted. Writing good content, collect likes/upvotes and get rewarded. It is very hard for a content creator to get some reward at all. If you don’t have a friend with a nice amount of SP on their account, organic support from the community will not come, or it will be very very low.

dApps to the rescue!

Here comes the dApps. For all the activates numbered above I have managed to build a support from a dApp.

AnalysisUtopian
GamingSteem Monsters, DrugWars
GamblingMagicDice, Krypotgames, SteemBet
Hunting productsSteemhunt
Staying fitActifit


There are probably more, but this are one of the main dApps that I have been using and that have broth me some rewards.
Going forward dApps will dominate even more. The demand for STEEM, will come from dApps, that will then reward their users. The SMTs are also a step in this direction.

The one killer thing that the Steem blockchain have is the focal point of the blogging platform. It unite the Steem ecosystem like no other BC. Everyone can read for the new projects and stay in touch. The projects them self can promote them on the platform.

All the best
