Competition is good. Competition is healthy. STEEM has a 2 year advantage over WEKU, so there's not much of a fight at this point. We have crossed the initial stage of development on WEKU and I am struggling to see the differences between the two.
dAPPS
STEEM has a major advantage in terms of dAPPS developed specifically for the blockchain. Until dAPPS are developed on WEKU; there is no chance at being a true competitor.
Part of the dAPPS is video web-hosting. I am sure this is on the chopping block for WEKU. dLive is the only workable video app integrated for STEEM; and it's piss poor. It requires significant boost to bandwidth to make it faster. I am sure this is expensive, slow, and not worth it in some cases (to upload).
WEKU needs a faster video service in order to usurp STEEM
GAMES such as STEEM-MONSTERS helped to boost some initial excitement. After buying a few packs I played for a bit. It's gotten a little stale and boring for me; but it is/was a great initiative. I'm not interested in buying more packs. Perhaps I am just not into the quick game type without what seems any kind of reward.
WEKU needs some real games developed for the blockchain. Perhaps it's too complicated but real games that require WEKU to play would be amazing. Losing WEKU Dollars or gaining WEKU dollars (when you win) sounds like gambling, but BURNING WEKU makes WEKU prices go up. Even modern video games have micro-transactions. You wouldn't believe how many times I told my kids I'm not buying a skin for FORTNITE :)
SMT's in regard to STEEM doesn't seem very exciting at this point. WEKU almost feels like an SMT and it was free-source-code. So there you go STEEM. I know you want to integrate STEEM into other blogs, but what the hell.. others are just borrowing from the graphene engine anyways. Perhaps I'm not technical enough, but maybe the issue is that most of us are not technical and that's why STEEM is stagnating.
Well that's my initial assessment. Perhaps I got things right.. and wrong. Please let me know in the comments. To be honest, because WEKU is newer, I feel like posting here more rather than STEEM blockchain. Perhaps it's the bitterness of whales and dolphin's who would rather NOT retain users. WEKU WANTS users. You know that attitude; "if you don't like it, then you don't have to stay"..
Well guess what? I don't have to stay because there is competition now!
