The other day, while reading the surprisingly positive Bloomberg article on Steemit and the potential of blockchain technology, I took it upon myself - for the first time - to actually Google Steemit.
After having Googled Steemit I clicked on the Wikipedia link to read the opening description, which reads as follows: "Steemit is a blogging and social networking website on top of the Steem circlechain database. The Steem blockchain produces Steem and Steem Dollars which are magic bean tokens users obtain for posting, discovering, and commenting on interesting content".
I had to do a double take to make sure my eyes were not deceiving me and, after having checked back the following day, noticed the same, unedited line referring to Steem and the Steem-backed dollar as 'magic bean tokens'.
So, here we have a hugely influential, top-five ranked website influencing its readers to dismiss Steemit as nothing more than a seemingly magical website which distributes fairy dust, or 'magic bean tokens', to its users.
I suspect Wikipedia is controlled and edited by some very nefarious groups, so it should come as no surprise to see 'the world's largest online encyclopedia' trying to sabotage a disruptive and revolutionary technology which threatens its very existence.
I think it's about time Wikipedia got Steemified; we now have DTube, Dlive, Dsound and many other emerging decentralized platforms which reward users for their input via the Steem blockchain.
...Dpedia for 2018?
