My Steem Vision

Welcome to my new blog! A little over a week ago I put out a post asking -

What Is YOUR Vison For Steem

**With the goal of trying to come up with a cohesive and coherent "vision" that encompasses what Steem is. Then we can use that to market Steem to the outside world.**
### This is a video of My Vision For Steem.

What is Steem? What is the goal? What is our vision?

Steem is interesting because it has so many possibilities that actually explaining it to others is a bit tough. How can we market to the outside world if we don't even know what we are?

After a discussion with @whatsup, as well as many good talks over the last few weeks about marketing, pr and just the lack of Steem's visual presence in the Crypto world, I think maybe it's time to change that.. and who better to do that than the strong community here that sets us so apart from the rest?

But we need to know what we are first.

@Whatsup had a great point, and something she had personal experience with in her career in the business industry.

First you find out what others think you are. Then you add in what you want to be... What you want to remove and then you adopt that as your vision. It sounds simple. But it defines who you are and where you go. You can't talk about or promote something if you don't know what it is.

We need a clear, cohesive vision and then we can go tell the world.

# We Need A Vision >We need to collect what we all think Steem is and find the overlap, the common ground. Then we compare and decide how to compile that into a simple to understand vision statement that can be used to showcase Steem.

A Vision Statement describes the desired future position of the company. It is basically the ultimate goal of what they'd like to accomplish.

Many have already gotten involved in the initiative to share what their Vision for Steem is -

Thank you for your help

Looking at the #steemvision tag, doesn't look like there is going to be a consensus vision for STEEM. But then that may be actually a good thing. STEEM is many things to many people. Maybe being even more things for even more people is what a true STEEM vision should be about.

Here is my divergent vision for your enjoyment ;-)
@bluesteemie(38)· 2669d
I see Steem as a long term investment. The powered up Steem or SP, pays 2% interest a month. It difficult to find any financial institution that will offer you that without a large deposit. Sure, 2% on $0.00 doesn't mean anything at first, but soon enough it starts to roll over.

Steem is a great social media platform, built on outdated technology, but it also allows programmers to create various dApps, games and so forth. The SEO of blog posts on Google is also second to none.

Plus it allows those who have been disenfranchised a monetised voice.
@bidesign(64)· 2670d
This is not my vision but this is the most rational and valuable article and vision i ve ever seen about steem and steemit. Very good point of view. Very good explanation. Agree with him %99.9

I've watched your video on my phone and started to write a comment over partiko. I gave up and run to my computer because I couldn't type fast enough over my little screen ;-).

For me steem is the "university to discover and adopt future technologies" "The place where everybody finds his spot"

The university to discover and adopt future technologies

I'm on steem for a little more than a year and I've been doing things here that I wouldn't have thought possible a year ago. I created a token and have now my own currency. I started a charity project. I'm playing games over a blockchain...

On steem it is possible to follow in real time how the technology is evolving. This community is so full of creative heads and also of people who don't understand anything about the technologies. This creates a need to make complicated things understandable. So great new projects are not only developed on steem. They are translated and made available to people without knowledge.

The place where everybody finds his/her spot

There is something for everybody on steem. Whether you like to read, to write, to make videos, to watch videos, to play games, to be entrepreneur. Whether you like to talk about nature, food, sports, technology,... It's a place for everybody and the great thing is that everybody is linked by the same technology and the same currencies...
@stuffbyspencer(62)· 2674d
Thanks for the shoutout, I'm happy people resonated with my post.

I like your vision as well, I agree with all the major points you made. I feel like there's lots of layers of potential to Steem, some of which will only get revealed after "peeling back" some of the most obvious ones & trying them out.

Kinda like an onion... Or a layered cake... Or a burrito... Look, just take your pick of layered-food-metaphors & start exploring Steem!

Lots of great comments on this thread. I published my vision for the future of Steem seven months ago after #hf20 was released. After brief review, I believe that most of it is still relevant. (Enough that I would rather share that old post than write a new one).

Timeline is always slower than i would like, but we are further down this road now than we were then. MIRA, side chains, hivemind, etc. are all movement toward my predicted vision. https://steempeak.com/busy/@josephsavage/my-thoughts-on-hf20-rcs-smts-and-the-future-of-steem-contest-enclosed

@tsukune(25)· 2675d
tienes razón sin una visión de poco sirve, una visión es el camino y a la ves la fuerza para seguir adelante ¿para que es steemit? la verdad soy nievo en esta comunidad pero yo creo que steemit es una herramienta capas de unir a las personas pero tan bien es una herramienta para expresar tus hiedas lo que te gusta y conocer a las personas que le gustan lo mismo
@robertandrew(70)· 2675d
Thanks Justinh...a really great Vision that encompasses so much ( but in a really great way)

To me it's where Technolgy meets Entrepreneurship and Creativity
@papilloncharity(83)· 2675d
@justineh With people like you around, steemit can definitely build a great future. It's all about security, reputation and the brand nowadays. The simpler the better. Blessings and well done with this post!

I like what you had to stay about steem. One thing that I have noticed as of recent that doesnt feel very "internet the way the internet was supposed to be" is all the damn banner ads on Steemit.com... but what are ya gonna do ? still love the steem blockchain. Thanks for the post.
@andreaaliga(57)· 2675d
è una bellissima idea per girare il mondo, per conoscere tante persone. e poi cavolo, la blockchain...
@abitcoinskeptic(75)· 2675d
Simple, it's a network. Want to get fancy? It's a decentralized network backed by cryptography with a staked / dpos rewards-based social media focus that is quickly shifting away to something more robust with smart-contracts. Congratulations on your move. I've always thought about moving, but I'm too lazy. The funny thing is you get to 50+ rep in your first day, lol.
@reveurgam(60)· 2675d
What is Steemit?

It's a failure. I joined it a few months after it went public because it was touted as a place to put your work, and that you'd be upvoted based on the worth of your work. Yet, all I have seen is people like myself who work hard to produce quality articles generally get nothing.

If I were to join a voting bloc, I might earn quite a bit of money per article, but then again it's cryptocurrency and so what will I really earn in the end? Today, CoinGecko says it's $.33 for 1 steem. So, my account is worth 1/3 of what I have, which is pretty close to saying, 'Glenn, you fool, you've got nothing to show for your efforts!' This is a fact - if I take the number of hours I put into making articles, including several to help new users, and I do a little math, I'm operating at a loss. Not a solid business model.

I have seen people post one or two pathetic sentences and a photo and earned more money than any one of my articles of worth just because they're in a voting bloc. That devalues Steem. We cannot expect Steem to increase in value if it is connected to dross.

I'm at the point where I'm going to cut my losses and jump to Blogger or WordPress to monetize my efforts.

To put it another way - I want Steem to be what they promoted it as being - a place where people can earn based on their content's value and the opinions of others.

That, however, would require overhauls of the system to organize content better, improve the editor, reduce the abuse via voting blocs, and several other changes. I remain unconvinced that the people who are in charge will make these changes. Heck, the editor used to have more features than it does now!

@arjanvaneersel(42)· 2675d
Thank you for sharing this. I'm new to Steem and haven't posted anything yet. Your article gives me some very good aspects to think about before starting to blog about topics that interest me.

Or perhaps my first post should be my vision for Steem from a newb's perspective.

@adrianwastag(55)· 2675d
Steem could be good alternative for current social media... but we need time. In my opinion Steem will be one of most cryptos used by "normal people" in the future, not only by crypto enthusiast. Btw, good video, resteem and greetings from Poland. :)
@farooqafridi(36)· 2675d
What a nice pose
@sincerelyark(36)· 2675d
Thanks for the video!

It's really interesting to see how the Steemit platform will grow and evolve over the next few years. One thing that I've noticed (in my very short time here) is that some of the Steemit concepts (SP, SBD, Steem, Vests, etc.) are a bit overwhelming for beginners. If we want Steemit to truly flourish and grow, I think something needs to be done to easily educate those joining the platform to improve the user experience (UX).

Another really important aspect is a mobile app. In our Digital First world, it is imperative to have an app enable your business to succeed and enable users to remain consistent on the platform.

I am truly impressed by the level of camaraderie and willingness of those on Steemit to help others. Whatever Steemit is, whether it challenges Facebook, or Reddit, or any other social platforms, to me Steemit is a great community first and foremost!

Yeah, Steem should be the “One Stop Shop, for everything Crypto!” I see STEEM like Google!
@reddragonfly(66)· 2675d
That... was really well done!

That was precisely the sort of "2-minute Elevator Speech" this place desperately needs, as its presentation to the world... not "techy" or all about money, but a summary of what this is, to real people.

There are a few bits I could add, from within my own lens of perception, but that's for its own post. What would be interesting, though, would be a revisit to the original White Paper to take a look at some of Dan's vision as it existed before he and Ned had their "divorce." I expect there are some good bits there, too... the Internet of PEOPLE, Banking the Unbanked, a Gift Economy and so forth.

What a way to roll out your new account!

You're by far the best ambassador for Steem I've ever seen.

I like the part about it being the Internet as it was supposed to be.

@inertia(75)· 2676d
We can also look at a few of the abandoned visions:
- To Be A Useful Currency
- World Domination
- To be the Blockchain of Opportunity
None of these are bad. They just seem to have fizzled.

Here's mine. For Steem to become addictive, we need to understand: The Hierarchy of Engagement
@grintsch(54)· 2676d
Now you can just go, add some music to the video and run ads with exactly what you said. Great promotion video out of the box, love it!

Under the hood, it probably makes sense to have a more differentiated look, but as a vision that's great. I really hadn't even thought the "you can promote your stuff and then sell it with Steem" way, yet.

And congrats to your first post on your new account - don't worry about your rep, you've almost overtaken me already with just one post :-D

@revisesociology(82)· 2676d
It's a very nice vision.

Do you think we need identity verification to make steem work effectively? I'm just thinking of how easy it is for anonymous users to spam/ troll and effectively intimidate freedom of interaction away and make this place not quite as nice as you make it out to be in your lovely video!

I don't even want to give an example of what I'm talking about because of fear of retaliation (I'm not 'on the radar' and I don't want to be).

I'm also thinking it might be key to attracting legitimate businesses. It's the one thing that springs to mind after watching this - we need to ditch the anonymity.
@newageinv(74)· 2676d
Simple and straightforward is a great approach. The key is being limitless and showing how projects like @steemmonsters and @steemhunt have been able to demonstrate the flexibility and capabilities of the protocol to build upon.

Got some goosebumps at the end there when you said Steem is the way the internet should be. Very well said 🙌🏽. I’m just spitballing here but you know that top banner spot that Steemit, Inc. is selling to advertisers? I think this video should be that top spot so that it can reach the screen of everyone who comes to read a post on Steemit so that they can realize how much bigger this ecosystem is than just a blogging platform!! Thanks for making this :)
