RE: What needs to happen to reach $10 STEEM in 2018? (Discussion)

Communities and bid bots that focus on certain communities could be something interesting to see. For instance not allowing users that want to stack bid bots but if proven to create quality content for that community they can trend on that tag. Also just communities being released is going to help the platform a lot for new users to find their niche interests easier and be able to create better feeds.

That is more or less what we did with the @sbcbot. It is a bod for the Sport betting community. Depending on the content of the applicant the blog will get whitelisted for the bot. Once a day, the than member can use the sbc tag to get an upvote from the bot. They don't have to purchase share or donate to the bot, the idea is to give these guys a push in the back, because they are rarely supported by other communities!
Besides quality posting and record keeping of their bets, we don't ask anything in return. Most members are red fishes but most of them appreciate the work of the community, so they donate 1 SBD to the bot per month. These funds are used to power up the bot, or to fund some contest organizes by our members!
We regularly control the post of the members and advice if needed. We don't require that our members make a profit with their betting, we just want them to be open, and luckily the blockchain is a great tool for this.

An upvote from out bot is around $0.15, which could save some members from leaving the platform. The biggest problem we have is that the bot is mainly dependent on delegations for the moment and mainly on one. Which always is a danger!

Something like this is possible for each kind of niche. You just need some people who are willing to put in the effort, time and some delegation!
But it is worth it. People are starting to interact with each other, which is our biggest dream!
We are a firm believer of interaction on the blockchain. This is according to us utmost important!

Cheers,
Peter
