What Steem needs now - Purpose, Profile and Passion

in #steem5 years ago (edited)

The Chinese authorities rate Steem as a top 5 blockchain.

But on Coinmarketcap Steem is down in the 80's.

Something is not connecting. Something is missing.

There is no simple answer but I am going to take a stab at it.

In just three words...


Purpose


What is the purpose of Steem?

What is our Unique Selling Point?

What makes us better than those 80 other coins above us on CMC?

We need to define our purpose. In simple terms. That everyone understands.


Profile


Once we know what that purpose is we need to tell the world and its three legged dog.

We need to do that yesterday, today and tomorrow.

No more "we're not ready for the masses".

That's baloney. The ship will have sailed.

We need marketing, we need publicity, we need PR. We need it now.

We need to cross the Atlantic in a racing yacht.

We can't wait until 2030.


Passion


We need empowerment. We need commitment.

We need to be on a war footing.

We need to send troops to the frontline.

We need to do battle with belief.

We need to fight the good fight.

We need passion not DPorn.


A five minute freewrite.

My rant after midnight.

Or just my thoughts for the day.

I saw #9 ranking by big bad China but indeed we have an identity crisis and an ecosystem teeming with blind faith followers, steem isn't stinc denial ridden idealists, utopian dreamers, new steem if you say it enough it must be true truthers, mostly incompetent devs, and well, keyboard warrior sociopaths. For a chain not listed on coinbase and still forking to fix complete failures to prove its not a pyramid scheme, ponzi, or mlm like scam after 3 years of abysmal retention, mediocrity, deserved bad press and zero effort put into marketing and/or competitive mobile first design in 2019 to show anything redeemable it's no wonder we're already forgotten and written off by the very much in the know cryptosphere.. What a run on sentence that was! Epic!

But, free flags and layered shit coins that encourages more division than the EIP itself.

Still a few things to fix I think... 😊

I guess in terms of Passion we, the community, rank highest.

Others need alot of improvements and systematic plan and calibrated execution.

We need to find the "others"

At least internally we have these items with the core community created which will allow it to persist. However, moving these factors outwards is truly a difficult task given the market and perception of the protocol!

It is going to be a tough task but I still believe it can be done...

That is great @pennsif, you described this problem in 3 category- 3 legged dog, that marketing, publicity and PR. That is really great revelation to Steem promotion. I love your advice, more grease to your elbow!
