Steem has recently come to news due to its upcoming HF related issues. In recent coindesk article, halting of steem network came to light. The article argued that as we are advancing to new tech, disruption of service will become frequent. Similar to Steem, EOS and NEO have also seen stalling of its network.
Interestingly, 
In another news from Nasdaq, steem came to light since it is disrupting massive content market with innovative reward system. However, Steem will have a competitor from upcoming ASQ token, which will be a native token for "ask.fm"
HF20 will be rolled out in next 12 hours. The most important feature will be free account creation option. Steem holders will have RC allocated to them that can be used for new entrant's onboarding. It means that if a DApp has enough SP, it can onboard new members without any cost. It can be massive for DApps that is looking for big success.
Moreover, HF20 will make bases for upcoming community and SMT. Already Steem has spiked among BTC and alt's little downtrend. Excited to be a steemitian, once again!
