Diversity is the art of thinking independently together. - Malcolm Forbes
Translated into the Steem blockchain: while the web applications built on top of the blockchain share the very same technological basis, they're able to address their market's demand in many different ways.
Since I joined this place back in July 2016 I've developed various approaches in order to express myself within the Steem community. While I'd have considered myself being a classic storyteller in the very beginnings, now my blog has somehow turned into a life coaching project.
Over time I've begun to upgrade my equipment, use different applications, features, editors and I also improved my language skills. So what actually happened is that my own Steem brand has been diversified. That finding made me think again about the new vision that Ned Scott and his team defined for the future of Steem.
The fact that multiple applications are going to be built on this blockchain, will not only strengthen the value of Steem as a currency, but also attract new and multifaceted groups of users, incentivating the creation of infinite different types and formats of solutions.
That's why I presume that in a couple of years you'd be able to find any existing solution in the field of decentralized content distribution on the Steem blockchain.
Reasons enough to wholeheartedly embrace the future diversity of Steem!

"Tokenize the internet!"
According to Ned Scott, that's the essence of Steem's future vision.
While steemit.com - as the very first web application built on the Steem blockchain - has been in the vanguard of decentralized content distribution since May 2016, now doors are open for infinite new solutions to be built on top of Steem.
Or as 
also proclaimed: Give the people what they want.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket!
In our digital age where product life cycles and customer sensibilities are changing very fast, that's an extraordinarily conventient advice.
Now if the basket was the Steem blockchain, then the mission would be to fill it with hundreds of thousands of different types of eggs:
Eggs for filmmakers, vloggers, storytellers, photographers, live-streamers, developers, artists or charities - for everybody who has an interest in contributing to Steem world in a certain way. DTube, DLive, DSound, Busy, Utopian-io and all the other first movers are just a few in a fast growing network of tokenized and decentralized web solutions.
Being built on the very same blockchain, these applications won't only benefit from using one of the best technologies that are exisiting worldwide, but they'll also be able to appreciate an extraordinarily fast growing community of highly skilled, creative, curious and supportive people.
What started with steemit.com will grow to a whole network of tokenized web applications and smart solutions.
In that Steem world value will be created in many different formats, styles and languages.
Everybody will be able to identify their favourite Steem application, thus favourite way of expressing themselves and building their own projects on the Steem blockchain.
In the past many people have mentioned that steemit.com is not for everybody. Most of the time they were referring to the rather complex usibility, as well as the necessity to be skilled in writing and self-marketing. Now that many applications are going to be built on this blockchain that don't actually require specific blogging skills, we'll experience a paradigm shift that'll enable us to state:
Steem is for everybody!
Whatever way of communication you'd going to choose, you'd be definitely able to find an according channel in the Steem world then.
That future is already taking place!
“Diversification, along with other financial instrumentation, will allow allocation of capital along the market continuum while improving earning levels when investing conditions lack equilibrium ." - Chris Hogan
Smart Media Tokens will definitely contribute to that improvement of earning levels.
By multiplying the number of web applications built on the blockchain as well as the tokens and related eco-systems that are going to be integrated in these applications, soon we'll be part of an extraordinary impressive global network of creators.
I really believe we couldn't have a better vision for the future of Steem.
Enjoy your weekend and don't visit coinmarketcap.com to often :-)
Best,
