Consider this your lucky day. Steem trading at $1 as I write!!!
It’s been about three months since Steemit successfully implemented hard fork 19.
Hard fork 20 is right around the corner, but I’m not sure of the exact date. But I do know it’s called Velocity.
It has three major goals: community building, effortless onboarding, and a mobile application.
If successful, Steemit can expand its platform from roughly 300,000 users to over 3 million. Much wow!
The first priority is communities. Right now, using Steemit exposes you to everything. And let’s face it, no is interested in everything, nor does anybody have the time for everything. It aims to be more like reddit. That way those with the same interests can interact in a concise manner.
The next priority is effortless onboarding. This is needed so Steemit can scale. The current process currently takes nine steps. It’s done for a good reason, to prevent fraud, but comes at a tremendous cost to Steemit.
Steemit is working to make this a one-click process and a more natural process for its users.
This will not only help users but future application on Steemit as well.
The third priority is a mobile application. Now you’ll be able to Steem on the go. This will let Steemit scale all over the world, especially in places where the smart phone is the primary communications device. This a project Steemit has been working on for months and I look forward to its release.
To gain new users Steemit plans on crowdsourcing growth, meaning, instead of doing all the marketing itself, it will reach out to influencers and community builders and have them help grow the platform.
I don’t know about you but I’m really excited about Velocity and the future of Steemit.
So what you can you do? Keep creating content, keep resteeming and sharing, tell all your friends, and show them great stories like this one.
Steem On!!!
