Forum 9 (Thursday 21 February) : Wrap-up Forum - part 2
Through the course of running the State of Steem Forums, and through editing the SoS Daily News Digests, I have picked up on twelve key indicator projects that for me will determine the State of Steem during 2019.
The 12 projects are detailed in these two posts...
The Big Dozen - my 12 indicator projects for the State of Steem in 2019 (part 1)
The Big Dozen - my 12 indicator projects for the State of Steem in 2019 (part 2)
It would be too much to cover all 12 projects in one forum, so they have been split 6 and 6 across two forums.
The six projects to be covered in Forum #9 this week will be Advertising, SteemOnboarding, Steem Business Alliance, DApps & Apps, Exchanges and Direct Fiat / Steem Conversion.
The speakers lined up so far for this week's forum include Ned Scott
