Wish Upon a Steem - What Do YOU Want for the Future of Steem?
If you had a wish that could change or add something to Steem/Steemit, what would it be?
What do you want Steem/Steemit to be? What do you want to see Steem/Steemit become?
What would you like to see happen?

Not "I want more Steem Power" or something like that... :P
But something that would effect more than just you.
What would you want to improve or add to the Steem blockchain, or a front-end like Steemit.com, Busy.org, or what have you?
Think about it... and let me know or chat amongst yourselves and see what great ideas you can come up with!
Maybe your wish can come true :)
Thank you for your time and attention. Peace.

I would like to see real belief in and action in this idea I keep reading about being freed through decentralization. Given the recent revelations coming from the Steemit.inc crew it is apparent that despite all the hype we have seen little in the way of those with know how developing independent of the Steemit.inc control. Seems that despite all this buzz i have heard as I dip my toes in crypto via Steemit that it is really about how much can I earn before it collapses and leave others holding the bag.
If the belief was true seems this whole mess that was recently revealed would have been but a blip that was hardly felt. I question even those like Dan, who appears has abandoned his latest project to work on yet a new one now. I question why he couldn't be happy with the ones he built, and use his vast influence to help steer the idea into the promised land he always talks about. Did he give up because he is just saying what sounds good as he continues to rake it in on the latest projects? Did he give up because what he said was true, and that what he saw was impossible to achieve as he was supposedly forced out?
I don't know, but I would love to see someone prove to me that this whole decentralization thing isn't a scam. If not here, then where?
Yeah, thanks to the make-money-any-way-i-can of many investor-sided ppl, it's all about getting money and getting out, extracting as much as possible... coughvote sellingcough
Dan has abandoned EOS? I don't think so... where you hear this? What new project?
Apparently Dan left because Ned pulled rank over an issue (as if Dan isn't smart and making good decisions, gotta play the CEO card to stop him... :/)
I'm a big fan of Dan.
Decentralization has limits. Freedom to let others ruin it because there is no governance to control bad actors and keep things in check. Or apply some centralized administration to make things run optimally...
He says he isn't leaving, but the word is making the rounds he is, to work on something that is supposed to be another Bitcoin. I watched this video on another post here at Steemit earlier today, and the internet is abuzz with talk (yeah, I googled it. I am curious why he left here and why with his stake and finances he didn't create more vision here).
This was one of many articles I read after watching the video.

I really don't know what to make of any of this, other than everyone who seems knowledgeable all the way to the likes of Dan aren't staying and seeing anything through. My ignorance on this is showing, but if those who aren't ignorant can't make this work I have to question if it can.
People liek to FUD and stir shit up. The twitter comment from the screenshot in that article was just dumb...
Hey, @krnel!
Thank you for your contribution to the crowd. We are the Steemit project dedicated to empowering The Wisdom of Crowds. You can find more about us on our official website or whitepaper and you can support us by voting for our witness and joining our curation trail on Steemauto . We are also inviting you to join Crowdmind Discord server. Don't forget to use the #crowdmind hashtag and happy crowdsourcing!
Additional comment:
We would really like to see the awakened crowd. Now, we know this sounds strange but we will try to explain.
Remember web 2.0, and everything happened after that? It started with blogs and different content creation options, then we got social media, crowdsourcing was born, and we all meet its most beautiful daughter crowdfunding. All of these platforms were harvesting the wisdom of the crowds with small or none value returning. And all of these platforms were simple crowdsourcing tools provided by the middleman.
Now, on Steem – crowdsourcing is not the core function of the platform as a tool, but a unique ability of its users. The Crowd. We can crowdfund with upvotes, ask for ideas in every post and comment section, brainstorm, create something together, solve problems…name it – we can do it.
But people still don’t recognize it. While we manually curating we see the same patterns – great posts with rewards but few or no comments at all, or contests with prizes which fails to trigger deeper participation than -submit and win. We believe that people can raise their participation levels, and it can benefit the whole ecosystem. So our answer is – we don’t need new functions, we need to empower each other and create the critical mass which would take participation on the next level. And then, there would be new and meaningful proposals, new projects, platforms, and general value growth.
And this is the picture of future Steem. Today, we can say that online space is a natural extension of our living environment, while any decision in offline regime can get its online reflection and vice versa. So we see Steemit as our extended living environment, the place which harnesses the collective intelligence in so many ways. For example, people in Hungary can show us how they build their homeless shelter, I can see their plan and raise the money to build it in Serbia + get others expertise in a few clicks/posts. Or we can solve the complex scientific problem while rewarding every crowd participant for contribution – and it is forever written in the blockchain. This is just the first couple of things which crossed my mind… So, sorry for the long answer and thank you for this question! We need brainstormings like this.
Best regards

Interesting. How do yo increase participation? The concept of sourcing from the crowd is interesting but complex. How to make tools to facilitate it? What does it look like?
Hey, thank you for your questions and interest. You are absolutely right, crowdsourcing or let's say – triggering of the crowd wisdom is a hell of the task. We knew this before we decided to start the project, but we believe it is worth. I will try to explain what we plan to do, and why we want to do it as shorter as I can.
Crowdsourcing is here. It happens every day but on the very rudimentary level in general. I have the feeling that technology is above us all at this moment. We have great applications around, but we still not use their full potential. It is like you have an army of Storm Troopers armed with lightsabers. They will probably use them, but not effective as Jedi (forgive my Star Wars analogy). If we look at the crowdsourcing as The Force, every Steemian is Force sensitive. Every account can perform crowdsourcing activities trough content creation or voting, and how they will look depends exclusively on them. Unfortunately, they are mostly mechanic – simple contests, etc. We have to push people to discover more and find out that they can do almost everything. It is proved that money is not the only satisfaction even in 2.0 concepts. People love to be part of greater stories, to play their role along with the popular community members, etc. Money should be viewed as the catalyst, not the main reason for participation. But if we create contexts which put the mechanism this way (send this – win that, tell me why and I will reward you, etc) nothing will change. Look at your post – it is a perfect example of what we would like to see here. You actually also promised reward – but your reward is my satisfaction because you asked for our opinion, and stated that it can change something. Crowd ideas.
We are fully aware this will not happen overnight. We have to help people to unleash the full potential of their ideas, to see the world out of the box. We made contact with bloggers who are launching offline galleries, plan to make a movie, build villages, launch apps…and everything happened in less than a month. We are ready to put our knowledge to help them develop the concepts which would trigger the crowd attention in the best way possible. When our witness becomes more efficient, or when we raise more delegations or grow our curation trail – we will probably be able to support them more. It is not about crowdfunding – it is about crowd creating. Brainstorming. Collective creative madness which will reach offline users and bring them here. So we are still not talking about the tools, but hard work along with the manual curation.
If we manage to grow the interest and community – we will go to the next phase, the creation of our app. At this moment we know it should be a synthesis of learning materials (like online courses) and participative mechanisms (project calls, collaboration sections, etc). In this way, we believe it can attract stakeholders while never losing its focus – empowering the wisdom of the Crowds on Steem blockchain. We are not developers so this is one more obstacle on our road – but we will find the way. But if we don’t build something before that, our platform has no purpose – it will be another half dead space which cries for delegation.
I believe that communities could be a huge step forward this, whenever it happens. Hashtags are not enough, because they only group similar posts. And comments alone are not able to achieve the long-term discussions or collaborations.
OK, I have to stop now. Sorry for the long answer.
@hidden84
From time to time I have heard reports of folks not getting along. Say minnows or dolphins with whales. I stay out of it completely. But I wish folks would all work together. I know there are many good whales and other fish out there. I also know that a fish rots t the head. Again I stay clear and only hope that others can work together for the best for our community. What else would I like to see? LOL I would love to one day find a Steemian sweetie on here but that is a pipe dream. Blessings @krnel.
LOL :P good luck on finding a women from Steem. Maybe we need a dating site :P
Well I think-
We need more bounding between us,coz like other social we are not seeing what's going on other's life,so we don't feel the attachment and bounding between us. Which is much needed I think and should have to find a way of it.
Happy steeming.

What do you mean? There are limits to interaction per human... so not everyone can interact with everyone else. It's not possible.
Don't get me wrong, what I was saying is as we don't even can't see the real person behind the steem account; so we can not feel the attachment deeply.
Yeah it is true about the limitations of interaction but if there could be a way to do chat/ or I don't know what would be more effective; it will effect on the community most.
There are thousands of discord channel, which is good, I think.
Have a nice day.

I’d like to post videos straight from my phone instead of uploading to dtube, which I don’t because dtube never works for me.
Also I’d like have it linked to all my other accounts @share2steem is doing a fantastic job with that but vids still don’t play on the steemit platform, you have to hit the link and go out the platform.

Yeah, the IPFS videos work on dtube but not others, good point.
I think the best feature that is missing on these sites is allowing users to share earnings to whomever they choose on a given post (including comments)... so far there is no built in way to do this on Steemit.com or busy.org.
Beneficiary rewards, yeah, some of the alt sits have it I think.
I know you could do it on this site, but I think this feature is long overdue as being standard for the "free sites" that don't partition rewards (examples that do, D.Tube, Steepshot). It could definitely bring a lot more options for collaborative posts, and could help increase reward opportunities for newer members (and has potential in contest scenarios).
I would like if Dan would take over Steemit Inc again
