Whats up Steemians, How are you doing? I hope you're all doing good. I was a bit inactive the last days, but this was not because of this painful bear market. Better to say, it's painful depending on a specific point of view. I see this as a tremendous opportunity to enter in STEEM at a much lower price.
Before I read a post of 
At the moment when I took STEEM more serious, I wanted to become an Orca here. That is my personal goal. And right now it looks that I will achieve this goal sooner than I thought. But on the other hand, I have to admit that sometimes I had some doubt about this Blockchain. I think we all have them occasionally.
The reason why I was inactive is that I was back in Germany visiting my parents. There where I grew up, where all started. For two years I wasn't there. My parents were during this time often here by me in Salzburg, but being again at the place where all started is something unique. Old memories are popping up; old people are contacting; it was just refreshing.
Maybe not many of you are aware what the centralized social networks are doing, but Instagram launched an application called Instagram TV which is claimed as the future of television.
The videos there are all vertically in the way how we look most of the time on our phones. Youtube is full of videos if this new application is a serious competitor to Youtube. Well I cant answer this question I think no one can; time will tell, but for me, this is a smart move. Video is the most engaging form of content and to optimize is for the smartphone (mobile first) is as I, in my opinion, a smart move. I tried this new feature out and created my frit IGTV.
Honestly, I hope we will see this kind of innovation build on the STEEM Blockchain. There was one female Steemian who made a Dtube video saying that a decentralized version of Vine would be beneficial for this blockchain. Do you remember Vine?
Right now I think that that Appics could be an application who could go in this direction. I hope that we will see more innovations in this Blockchain. But under the line, we can say that already a lot happened here. And the best is yet to come in my opinion.
Did you hear of IGTV?
