This afternoon, I got to thinking of where I am presently on the steem blockchain and how much I need to get done to be able to be at a place of comfort, a place where my focus would no longer be to make a better future for myself and my family but also to impact the lives of the people around me.
I came on board this platform with just my amateur writing skills and I have been able to capitalize on that to carve a niche for myself, yet I do not limit myself to my niche. I seek, everyday, for ways to improve, to grow, to evolve into something better, something unique, something special.
It was this reason that led me to participate in the sndbox summercamp quest and luckily I have managed to get to the final quest. Weirdly, I am in a project that has a semblance to some of my future projections; ideas that I had kept on ice because I didn’t have the financial strength or resources to put them to effect.
The steem newspaper, I believe is a grand idea and I think that so far, we have touched the surface of what can be achieved with the paper and what that paper can mean to not just steem blockchain in particular but the crypto space in general.
I do not know of any news outlet that is basically focused on the steem blockchain. I do not mean blogs now, I mean newspapers or websites whose job is to articulate the activities of this particular blockchain, its token, its progress, its pitfalls, the community built around it, etc. This will be a unique piece of news publishing and I am part of its conception.
I find this to be an awesome truth of what can be achieved on the steem blockchain. For many like me, this is the place where ideas become reality because the materials needed to give ideas life are all here.
This is not to say that anyone who loves to create content above all else will not see the reward for his or her labours. For even the projects and businesses that will be all over the steem blockchain will need people to use them, to create stuff on them, to subscribe to them. So it will be a win win for all of us.
I am writing all these because of the Steem newspaper project. I was thinking that right now, it is based off steemit but there will be a time when it will be published off steemit yet on the steem blockchain. A time when it would have its own token and means of rewarding subscribers, contributors, investors as well as the editorial board.
I do not say this lightly for there are presently no newspapers powered by a blockchain; a truly decentralized newspaper as at the time of writing this. This project means a whole lot more than posts and curation. It means breaking barriers in the cryptospace, pushing the steem blockchain into areas where it had been ignored, opening up the world of steem for non users to comprehend, participate and hunger for.
This is a project that can become bigger than the creators. I do not know if my postulations are in tandem with the vision of the team or if the quest creators have such vision behind their adding the steem newspaper project to the quest but I want to believe that what I see is a possibility.
I am proud to be a part of this project and I am ready to put in my best to see it become something worth mentioning alongside other profitable and essential projects that have so far been introduced to the steem blockchain.
To achieve this though, would demand lots of support from the steem community as well as trust that we, the editorial board, will be able to properly tell the steem blockchain story to the entire world and so put the blockchain technology in its rightful place among other technical innovations and financial commodities.
I do not know if I make sense in this article. This is an impromptu write up and I don’t expect anyone to agree with all of it but sometimes I just get the need to vent ideas as they come. I do not know what they would lead to, who they would inspire and what these thoughts of mine would mean to you and those who do not really know why they are here on this awesome platform besides to make money.
In addendum, I wish all the other projects on this final quests as well as the Steem Times project, the best of luck. Every one of you have given your best and the ideas behind each of these projects will be something to behold when they become reality.
Finally, I would like to thank
