He was clear that this is not a done deal yet and it is still the early stages. Nevertheless, this is showing some of the possibilities that are out there for some of the applications that are being built on the Steem blockchain.

In the end, becoming the focus of the traders and pump/dump guys holds little interest to me. For STEEM to be maximized, we just need to keep building. What will keep Steem going forward for years on end is getting real businesses active on here. When companies have a vested interest in the Steem community, it puts a strong floor on what can happen.

There are hundreds of millions of people globally who are into fitness and exercise. This is a market that is simply enormous. The Actifit application already integrates with Fitbit, a fitness monitoring application that has over 25M users.
Garmin is presently the number 5 manufacturer of wearable technology in the world. They experienced a 4.1% growth year over year. This means that the Actifit application will be integrated with the #3 and #5 ranked wearables.
