I has a notification pop up on my phone today that got me thinking...Big picture :)
A few days ago, Steemians were encouraged to go to Twitter and recommend to Coinbase that STEEM should be added.
Apparently Coinbase is considering 31 new tokens to add to their platform, but STEEM isn't among those chosen....Yet ;)
Today I got a response from someone on Twitter that made me look at how the general public views STEEM....
Ned has been missing for 9 days now and I truly hope he is o.k. However the news is spreading, and the silence is worrisome...To the general public!
That's what outsiders to the STEEM blockchain may feel like, but for those of us that live and breathe this stuff...
The 'dev' is alive and well!
I jumped into the trending section earlier this evening and found quite an exciting new post (and project) from @therealwolf
It's called SteemApps.com and you can check out the post about it here!
If you ever, for one second, doubt the excitement AND development on this currently here on the blockchain...Take a good look at this site...
We have thousands of active users that actually USE these apps...Daily!
Do we have millions upon millions of use cases yet? Nope, but we have a heck of a lot more than most crypto projects.
And that's the key right there....
While ICO's were all the rage in 2018, very few have actual use cases. Because heck, most aren't planned to be launched according to their roadmap for years to come...
Meanwhile....
Steem rolls along :)
We have the users!
We have the apps!
And we most definitely have the community.
I have no idea what the future of Steemit Inc will be. Does it fade off into the sunset or continue to develop this blockchain along with it's passionate community...I truly have no idea.
And we can't control what happens with that company.
Because like it was mentioned in numerous posts over the past week...
STEEM is NOT Steemit Inc!
We are a blockchain that thrives with community. Once this bear market starts to calm down a bit, you will see that as a driving factor for STEEM's growth. We survived 2018 with plenty of development and sure, it would be nice to be added to Coinbase...
But we don't need it!
What we need, we have right in front of us....Now it's time to let the world know how good it is here on a REAL blockchain with plenty of development and community support!
Stuck on STEEM? Not sure where to go now that you have joined the blockchain?
That's why we created SteemSavvy.com - It's STEEM, for the rest of us :)

The silence out of Ned is not doing anyone any good. It would of been better if he didn't even start. He needs to seriously keep up with it. A simple weekly review or something will go a long way. Things accomplished etc
great to hear from you man. hope you are well.
and yeah just a simple ‘hey i won’t make it’ would have done wonders. would have help ease a lot over the past week.
Posted using Partiko iOS
heck yeah, I mean he did it the first time and said it was going to be rescheduled I was fine with that shit happens lol but to just totally go dark like its been since he took over the company is blah. I want to buy like a ton more steem but honestly dpos and the way this place is run anymore is holding me back big time.
i don’t get it really. dude is in control of like 22 million tokens for one of the biggest ‘potential’ crypto projects in history. just say ‘hi’ every few days lol
it’ll work wonders.
hey i have a guy interested in some clickfunnels stuff. you still with them? if so i could send you to him and maybe send you some business ?
Posted using Partiko iOS
Yup still working for Clickfunnels , feel free to hit me up with any of that info thanks! I plan on hitting steemit posts a little more with it into the new year after I get over this stupid sore throat.
will do. i’ll point them in your direction

I really never use skype anymore im curious what markets use these days lol
hey man. anyway to contact you outside of steem. forgot to ask before.
Posted using Partiko iOS
I'm getting really tired of the ignorance of the outside world these days. :P If Facebook went bankrupt would it mean the end of the internet? It's the same thing here, one company does not a blockchain make. Besides, Steemit Inc is in no immediate danger to begin with, the core team is still intact. Sigh, I wish people would get their facts straight already.
Oh and @exyle did relay a msg from @andrarchy the other day saying they're just super busy re-organizing, nothing's happened with @ned or anything like that. The only thing suffering is communication on their part during these hectic times. I'm not justifying it or anything, it's just how things are.
it’s amazing. how many people still refer to steem as steemit. that’s the reality sadly. but hopefully the news is spreading. we are more than one company.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Yeah I agree, Jon. STEEM is NOT Steemit Inc. it keeps rolling because of the existing and maybe new dApps and of course because of the awesome community.
for sure. that’s the biggest thing for me. the community.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Big props to @cryptocurator for resteeming this or else I would probably have missed it.
The fud is everywhere yet we are still here authoring and engaging and using this blockchain for what it was intended. In the down times, I find the people who are dedicated and unflappable which is exactly the kind of person I look to add to my feed and support.
Awesome optimistic post filled with truth. I will check out steemsavvy for sure.
Cheers!!
Posted using Partiko iOS
much appreciated :)
yeah the fud is everywhere. but if you dig deep you’ll find the reasons so many as excited.

If STEEM will be list on coinbase then it will ge good for STEEM because as i was checked steem on coin base market it was below 50 project right now. It is sleepring downwards day by day. In this bear market all coin wirth going down but STEEM is loosing its position ad well. So if coinbase will list STEEM then might be steem will avain inder top 40 .
Posted using Partiko Android
for sure. i’d love to see it added. would be great. but even without that there is still so many awesome reasons to be involved with this blockchain.
Posted using Partiko iOS
It would help if the Steemit crew could keep posting something for us. I know the developers are busy, but it boosts confidence. There's some activity on Github. Hope Ned is okay, but we shouldn't be depending on him.
I love seeing all the apps appearing and improving.
agreed. it’s pretty awesome to see with all the drama there’s some amazing projects growing and planning for a big future.

That was a rather shit reply to get on twitter

steemsavvy is pretty groovy, neat idea.
yeah, i'm getting really tired of ned's "now you see me, now you don't routine". each time we get suckered in thinking this time is different, he goes AWOL again
i could really do without steemit at this point
peace
it sucks man. i hope he’s ok. but at the same time those 22 million steem they are holding could be used if they don’t want them anymore lolololol
thanks for the comments man and for checking out steemsavvy :)

So Ned still has not been heard from that is not good news.
Things keep happening any ways and that is the most important part for the long term future of the blockchain.
Posted using Partiko iOS
ya. hope he’s ok. don’t wish anything negative to come to anyone.
Posted using Partiko iOS
It’s amazing he doesn’t have time to use his platform to say things more often. We have Partiko for gods sake.
Posted using Partiko iOS
that’s a great point. partiko makes it stupid simple to engage

SteemSavvy looks really good, but maybe its better to present the first video, before asking people to make an account on the website?
I think some people will feel discouraged from learning from a website that doesn't teach anything, but still immediately asks for personal information (like an email address).
Posted using Partiko Android
for sure. i’m going to take a look at how to better present it. i would have loved to get in incorporated with steemconnect but apparently i can’t anymore.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Is there a problem with steemconnect most users are not aware about? O_O
nah. apparently you need to sign up your steem account before you add steem connect. that’s what my programmer told me. but he’s very new to the blockchain so he’s still learning. but from what we see you needed to pick the username first and then sign up through steem connect

I liked that post from @therealwolf too but the statistics you are looking at covers one week (7 days).
If you select the daily stats it is a lot less. This isn't FUD since I'm a long-term bull but I wanted to point that out @jongolson.
great. thanks for pointing it out.
