I have to complain...I just do!
People, I like STEEM, I really do! It's the blockchain that I most use! It has the best community around crypto! We are a family! Sometimes we do have a hate-love relation with some of the other Steemians, but in the end we are family... But STEEM has a problem...
STEEM lacks fast development! STEEM lacks devs and programmers! STEEM lacks dapps developers! STEEM lacks 24/7 workers, pushing the whole project forward! Yes, I know we have a few good devs, programmers, dapps makers, but they aren't enough!
Steemians are happy that STEEM has a game like MagicDice...Ok, I get it! I'm also happy that STEEM has a casino-like game! But my fellow Steemians, STEEM is 3 years old! Why did it take so freaking long to get a casino-like game! Why don't more devs come to this blockchain!? How can we attract new developers?! How can we attract more people to build our ecosystem!? What are we doing wrong that the other blockchains are doing right?! Because some of the other blockchains have a huge amount of developers!
EOS, for example, as soon as it came out they started developing the ledger wallet and trezor wallet...STEEM still has none of these that I know about! EOS came out with a massive amount of casino-like games months after mainnet launch...It took 3 years for STEEM to give birth to one of these! STEEM is finally doing a work proposal system to further the development of dapps and STEEM in general, EOS has a 4B war-chest fund to do this!
I'm not trying to shill EOS or fud STEEM, what I want is for people to understand that the development that STEEM is having right now is still slow, it isn't normal! We, as the STEEM community need to realize why this blockchain isn't, at the moment, as attractive as the likes of EOS or ETH... We need to realize what we are doing wrong and fix it!
STEEM has the best community in crypto! Any dapps that gets developed on STEEM automatically gets a massive boost of users! Just look at drugwars, a few days after it came out it was in the top 10 of the most used dapps! Why aren't people more interested in this blockchain?
I think the SPS will fix this big time! Give incentive to new developers to come to STEEM! Because, let's be real...if another blockchain gives a 10.000$ incentive to develop in it, and STEEM gives 0$, why would people come here? Just because of the community? Well, yes, but both ETH and EOS have strong communities, maybe they wouldn't get as much marketing as they would get on STEEM, but 10.000$ is 10.000$! With that amount of money they can fund the project for months!
Maybe we can start doing more STEEM hackathons?!
Again, I'm going to compare STEEM with EOS... on EOS I'm always watching hackathons, the block producers are always moving around going from hackathons to hackathon... On STEEM we have some, but not as many as we should have!
In my opinion, each country's community should be responsible for encouraging hackathons and the further development of STEEM inside their own countries! Maybe communities like ,
,
could do a weekly "fund me" hackathon post, where they would try to reach a goal of a certain $ and, when that goal is reached, they would get a hackathon going in their country!
Maybe it would take months before some of the communities reach their "goal", some will probably only reach it in the next bull market! But it's better late than never!
Just imagine, if 10 communities did this and if each hackathon would attract 10 developers because of the prizes, that would be 100 developers that got introduced to STEEM around the world! Even if only 10% of those stays, we would still get 10 new developers! Ten new possible SteemMonsters! Ten new possible dtubes! How incredible would that be!!
I can see some problems with this, and this whole idea would need to be better studied... for example:
What if there are no good developers on each country to analyze and teach the projects?
Maybe top developers and witnesses from the Steemian community could travel around, from country to country and solve this...but that would require extra $! So, it would require extra time!
What about the price of STEEM, wouldn't it be better to wait for the top of the next bubble to cash out that hackathon money?
Yes, it would, but that would require a trader to spot the top... and it would require someone to trade that money in order to not sell at a false top! Or maybe we could use a platform like NEXO, where we can use crypto as collateral to get a loan! So, we could use STEEM as collateral and if it went up by a lot we could pay the loan with that same STEEM!
And what would the communities gain by doing this?
Yes, more developers means more dapps, which means more use cases and an increase in STEEM price, but that's not something touchable! Should the different communities keep some of the money? Or maybe just the publicity they get is their reward?
In my opinion, we should start working on this...it might take a while for the bull market to come, but if we start now, each community would have a lot of money to work with when the next bubble comes around! We would see something that in this bubble we didn't see very much... a BOOM of development on STEEM!
BOOOOM!

Question of the day: Do you have any more ideas on how to bring more developers to STEEM?
I should probably change these templates since I'm not studying to be a Vet anymore...
