The climb is tough but the view from the top is worth it.
How's that view actually, Dan Larimer 
I've been following the activities of the EOS.io team for a while now, and must admit: everything they've done so far has completely amazed me!
It seems that they're not only ahead of the times when it comes to blockchain technology, but they've also created a great team of experienced, inspiring and skilled people.
While the whole crypto market is currently on a downtrend, EOS seems to be unstoppable on its way to the top!
EOS.io the future of decentralization
The EOS euphoria
What is it exactly that makes EOS.io become such a promising project?
I'm a marketing manager, so what first called my attention is the excellent communication and PR the EOS.io team is delivering since day one. The corporate identity is perfectly implemented in every announcement they publish, no matter the channel they choose.
A solid and professional communication is key when it comes to build trust.
In order to keep their community constantly updated, they've already build a strong network by implementing a series of huge meetups all over the world. If you watch the reports on YouTube you can even spot the faces of some well-known steemians in the audience from time to time :-)
I really understand the hype, because what actually makes EOS.io unbeatable is that they have Dan Larimer.
You don't need to be a crypto experto to recognize that Dan is a true visionary, and that he always acts with absolute confidence.
There may be many crypto enthusiasts who call themselves ideologists, but often what they say is pure marketing and not convincing at all. In this case it's different.
EOS won't be just another coin, it's created under the umbrella of a true vision, and that's why investors have confidence.
The strategy the team sets up and the actions they take are all clearly subject to the vision, thus absolutely congruent and reasonable.
You know what you get.
For a deeper insight you may check the EOS Technical White Paper v2 - the last update has been published on March 16.
In terms of the team I very much enjoy seeing that Dan Larimer has surrounded himself with great personalities in order to create and offer an outstanding product. All together they've published a series of really thought-provoking and inspiring videos - including interviews with the board - in their YouTube channel.
I've watched them all with great enthusiasm.
Here's one of my favourite videos from the EOS team which I highly recommend you to watch in case you haven't seen it yet: 'Start an EOS Meetup'
I asked the EOS team if they were planning to build a social network on the EOS.io blockchain and got an interesting reply from the founder of eosnation.io:
The EOS community will grow organically by first creating their own local Meetups and begin reaching out their own networks, the best way approach for communication is to do in the open & transparent. Steemit is a great example of a social network on the blockchain. - Source
Obviously, EOS is going to be one of the most respected competitors for Steem - not only for the reason that Dan Larimer founded Steem two years ago. The EOS team member themselves often refer to the Steem blockchain and Steemit.com when explaining the benefits and progress of EOS.io.
There's few information available about what's going to happen on the famous 1st of June that has been constantly mentioned as a D-Day in the EOS.io communication. But there's one thing clear about it: it's gonna be a beat of the drum.
The EOS community won't start from zero: Brock Pierce will donate nothing less than $1 billion dollars to the network!
Forbes reported about it recently:
Pierce now says he will donate $1 billion into a decentralized autonomous community run on a blockchain. Governed by a constitution, the community will be registered as a charitable organization, he says, whose participants will receive voting rights to allocate its money. It is set to launch June 1, based on a new blockchain called EOS.IO that Pierce helped launch. "I'll make more money," he shrugs. "I'm not worried about it."
What a noble act of gratitude!
No matter what's going to happen until and after June 1st, I'm pretty sure it's gonna be groundbreaking for the whole blockchain technology and cryptocurrency markets.
I'd like to conclude this article with my favourite quote from Brock Pierce:
We take these things for granted, that we have bank accounts and credit cards - these things that make our lives kind of function well. And most of the world doesn't have it. So in the same way the internet democratized knowledge, information and communication, this technology is about o democratize the financial world, and it's the least fortunate people on the planet that stand to benefit most from it.
