When The FUD Shows Up, STEEM Steps Up!
If you have been off the blockchain for the past few days, you may have missed Ned's recent post about Steemit Inc having to lay off 70% of it's staff...
It didn't take long for that to become one of the hottest blog posts of the year and the conversation is still going strong...
Who is at fault?
Who is to blame?
There are plenty of fingers being pointed but also some amazing suggestions on how we can grow and thrive!
The post even caught the eye of FUD-central Coindesk, as they mentioned the 'news' today on Twitter...
Nothing spreads quicker than bad news it seems in the crypto space...
I quickly responded to the Coindesk article because I wanted them (and their readers) know about the massive amount of GOOD NEWS that takes place on STEEM, every single day. And most of it, flies under the radar of these kind of sites like Coindesk.
I mentioned @steemmonsters and their amazing success and then talked about @Partiko and @Dtube as being fantastic stories of companies and projects that are growing with STEEM.
What was awesome to note was that a fellow Steemian @jaraumoses jumped into the discussion on Twitter as well and started to highlight @steemhunt @oracle-d and @fundition

I mean...It doesn't take a PHd to realize the massive amount of development and excitement that EXISTS here on STEEM, regardless of the FUD and seas of red in the markets.
After the madness of yesterday's post by @ned , I saw STEEM shine once again...
@therealwolf 's epic post entitled 'We Are STEEM' highlights what so many of us feel and KNOW in our core...This is THE best blockchain on the web! It simply doesn't get any better.
We are bigger than Steemit Inc, and that's not taking anything away from the amazing work they have done. Everyone here appreciates their efforts but the blockchain is bigger than just one company or one individual.
Going forward, I truly believe we are going to see even more support for the dApps being created here. We will see more passionate projects and individuals come to STEEM regardless of the FUD and regardless of the gossip in the crypto world....
We are STEEM!
A group of passionate people that believe in change! And STEEM is our path to that change.
Yeah, I'm a fan boy!
Something to remember is that the markets took a dive across the board. Nay sayers and general haters of STEEM will claim it's this blockchain that is tanking in price but look at EVERY project. The entire crypto space has been hit, it's not just one coin or token.
And when you get past looking at the price, you roll back the layers and see what makes STEEM so powerful....
Once again...It's the people and communities!
Don't doubt for a second how important that is...That's why so many of us believe in STEEM. And that's why this blockchain will win in the end.
Speaking of winning....
How about some GOOD news!
This morning I woke up to @oracle-d sending me a note and awarding me access to their 'Onboarding Initiative' for SteemSavvy!
Let me just say......
Wow and THANK YOU!!!!!
I can't wait to get new SteemSavvy members onboard STEEM and help them on their journey and this initiative will help in so many ways.
So in the end....
FUD be damned!
And I hope sites like Coindesk start to highlight the AMAZING things taking place here each and every day.
It's time for the world to know, the awesomeness that is...STEEM!

Great post, Jon. And you are so right... WE ARE STEEM... And we keep it moving forward. Instead of always talking about the low price of STEEM, we should talk about what's going on in positives.
exactly. literally one piece of bad news and it gets media coverage everywhere. meanwhile there is amazing things happening daily here that never get mentioned. frustrating.

I totally agree with you.
Your balance is below $0.3. Your account is running low and should be replenished. You have roughly 10 more @dustsweeper votes. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://steemit.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-faq

There is more to STEEM than STINC. Look beyond the current valuation and you will see an immense amount of effort being put forth by an ever-increasing group of people. People are what powers STEEM, not an individual entity within it.
What does the future hold? Who knows? But if you let market-wide price fluctuations stop you now, you will never know.
Looking forward to the future, as the past is there to be learned from. Start working today for what you want to see tomorrow.
Building the STEEM blockchain with Savvy solutions!
it’s insane. when you think of all the development and different projects on the blockchain. funny how they didn’t highlight that.

Just left my own message too. It's bad enough when the news channels are killing us without crypto sites doing the same.
yeah and bitcoin magazine just threw steemit under the bus now too lol unreal.

Bastards, the lot of them.
I'm jumping on @fundition as a delegator... this is the kind of things we've needed for a long time
it’s such an awesome project. brings so much value to steem.

The only one I know pissed today is me. I have funds tied up and so wasn't able to buy this week. Uuurrrgggghhhh.
Other than that small detail, I agree with you completely. I wonder how the destiny staff is doing???
ha ha i hear you. i wanted to drop more over the past few weeks but couldn’t get as much free’d up as i would have liked.
yeah i almost guarantee that’s on the back burner now. i hope they keep the focus on smt’s

no offense but Steemit Inc hasn't exactly been stellar over the past year, it's had a ton of hiccups, frustrations, and delays. this blockchain is only going to soar if it becomes the totally decentralized network of awesome sauce is SUPPOSED to be. peace
ya that’s my thinking as well. the blockchain is so much bigger than one company. and they’ve had their struggles for sure. but steem as a blockchain is strong. regardless of the negative press we go today.
