First, Sam's coming over this weekend after my sister called me for help. She has been taking care of him alone for a while now because his dad is in another country for work. After taking care of him for one day I now better understand how hard it is to take care of a kid so I said yes of course. I'm looking forward to it.
Second, user @intelliguy, wrote a very nice post around me. Where he says I'm unique and different. That's pretty cool. Thank you, man. You can find his post Here.
Third, sometimes I read comments from people that say they can't see the Steem blockchain going anywhere. And then I always wonder whether I'm crazy or not, lol. I see so much potential in this Blockchain and also see it growing every day with new developments.
I talk about it more in my vlog. (between 3:00 - 4:00 I get interrupted by rain and get a little bit distracted, so just ignore that part. lol)

Great vlog! While I watched your video my mind went to a blog written by Luke Stokes today discussing the issue of traders hurting the value of an asset by distorting the true price discovery. I've felt this way for some time regarding Steem. There are some whales who use Steemit as a personal piggy bank. It's their prerogative as they can and should do what they want with their money, but I think they're costing themselves so much more by not letting Steem find it's true market value. By flooding the market with liquid Steem they're artificially suppressing the price. They stand to make much more by holding and letting the price of Steem rise than by constantly powering down.
I also feel Steem is very misunderstood, and a lot of that has to do with how it has been and continues to be marketed. If you go on youtube 9 out of 10 videos will pump Steemit by saying you can earn massive rewards by blogging and then showing the trending page as an example. I feel this is creating unrealistic expectations for new users and is simply setting them up for frustration and failure. When I first discovered Steemit and starting learning about crypto I immediately hit all the forums to learn all I could and Steemit was absolutely taking a beating (and still does) from people who tried the blogging angle and didn't see immediate results and quit. Now they look at it in an unfavorable light. Blogging is one aspect of Steemit, but the real value I believe lies in the Steem currency and it's utility along with the communities just starting to form and it's business dynamics. These qualities inter mingled in a social media platform is completely unique and incredibly powerful. So powerful that any reasonable person would instantly see the limitless possibilities and incredible value. This is the primary reason I feel Steem is so misunderstood. It's marketing doesn't align with Steem inherent strengths. If this can be fixed and Steem gets a face lift so to speak by a re-branding campaign, the sky's the limit. I think this is why it's taking so long in attracting investors, which you so correctly stated is what will really make the price of Steem take off. Right now we're getting new users who are trying to make money from blogging, not new investors putting money into Steem as an investment vehicle. Great topic as always brother and I'll stop here, lol, as I could write quite a lot about this. Helping companies brand and market themselves properly is what I do.
It's always interesting that companies see themselves for what they want to be or think they are, not for what they are and what their customers need or want them to be. Looking in the mirror and being honest is just as hard in the corporate world as it is for humanity. Have a great night man!
Thanks man, I can't wait until we can show what we are creating.
Anyways, the potential earnings of creating the app (whether it's STEEM or fiat) sure are an incentive to continue with the project. That said, however, there's no guarantee I will get any profits out of it (most likely I will not even come close). But learning all these new things, especially about interacting with the Steem blockchain is something I love doing. Sure, I had to make a small financial investment and a huge time investment, but it is great to work on things like this. IMHO Steem has great potential because it's so easy to participate and make use of the tech, and I'm excited to be a (small) part of it all.
I'm happy you are on board man!
I am also a big believer in Steem. I do believe the reason why the guy you mentioned was disappointed in it is because the price of Steem right now is similar to the its price a year ago. Other cryptocurrencies have risen tremendously in comparison. I do believe that the price of Steem will rise eventually as more uses for the Steem blockchain are developed.
I 100% agree
As a father, I can relate to that kid thing, but its worth it. Its like if you can last a day attending a kid, you have done a great great thing.
Having a kid certainly isn't easy. I am still a student but sometimes I help my aunt with her newborn. Not easy at times. Yet I'm sure at some point I would like a kid of my own. How about you exyle?
I think so at some point. How good are you at changing diapers btw?
Decent I guess haha. I've got to admit, it's not my favorite thing but someone has to do it.
Cute baby @exyle😊
I think you better to take care about him.. Because he is your nephew..
But it will be a hard work.. I'm also taking care of my little son..☺
fantastic post @exyle, i also read user @intelliguy post and well i think you deserve it the work you are doing is no doubt a unique work and we all love to watch and read your posts it's also nice to hear that little sam is again coming to spent his weekend with you that's great and i think no doubt steem is developed a lot in last 18 months, i wonder why peoples talk against it, we can see D-Tube a fantastic induction, D-sound, E-steem, steemporium all these development attracts more users and then these users also buy steem to increase their steem power, so all in all steemit is growing great in last 18 months and i think this plateform has the potential to grow even bigger in near future. thanks for sharing.
Beautiful photo with the baby @exyle. In this technology that will replace much in our life, after all what is Blockchain, this encrypted data warehouse and use of this storage will give people a tremendous opportunity, when people will fully understand that its existence will not be contested.
I think that people who are not that into steem blockchain are feeling frustrated that the price of steem hasn't increased that much. Maybe the coming updates will bring the rise in price we are all expecting. Anyway I'm sure our patience will be rewarded in the near future :) keep hodling steem
I sure am holding :)
great post, yes your posts are unique because these are crafted and created theough routine daily life and we really enjoy watching and reading routine life posts, every body has it's own opinion in my vision steemit is brilliant plateform and the way it is growing i think steemit should gain huge heights in near future and i love to be a part of it, it's nice that sam is again coming to meet you in this weekend, i hope you should enjoy your time with sam like you always does, have a cheeful and happy weekend ahead.
I'm looking forward to see the little guy!
The steemit blockchain is a far big thing on the internet now... I called it steemit tech. It will revolutionalize the internet. And I think with various developments it's because people saw the potential it has.... Good one @exyle
I also people telling the same. But they never give any reason to support there statement.
Yes I am completely agree with your friend that you are a different personalities, dynamic, energic and practical. You are right taking care of a kid is a difficult but sweet difficulties if it is your own kids. How is your princess? I was checking out her blog but no new one, so ask about her. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us about blockchain development. Can I have you as gaust in my post again, as I have very little upvotes,so please if you don't mind. Any way have an wonderful time friend happy steeming.
I guess by now you will appreciate women... Taking care of a child is more tough than posting on steemit @exyle
I respect anyone that can take care of a child and it sure is harder than posting on Steemit!
I could barely reach the 3:15 minute mark on the video. Either my internet is crappy today or DTube decided to try buffering at a really high resolution. Do you know if I can downscale the resolution while viewing on DTube?
Do people comment on your posts here on steemit and say they don't believe in the STEEM blockchain? That would be quite the irony!
I have posted a youtube backup link. I'm getting the feeling it takes Dtube longer to 'settle' the video before it becomes easily streamable.
Thanks! Will check out the YouTube link now.
@exyle,
Good practice to become a father :D
"I see so much potential in this Blockchain and also see it growing every day with new developments."
Yes of course. This Block Chain is developing per day, unlike others STEEM has a powerful Block Chain and a user based as well.
Great post and thank you very much for sharing your experiences with us! Nice vlog too!
Cheers~
"I see so much potential in this Blockchain"
We also see a great potential trading in cryptocurrencies and all that but there is a thing called fear. Recently in Pakistan, the court has officially banned the trading of Bitcoin and have declared the activity illegal. So as a common citizen, we are always frightened of being caught if we are indulged in the crypto trading,. Cherry on top, China has also banned the trading of cryptocurrencies and being a good friend of Chine, I don't see our government taking any positive steps. In short, we, Asians are actually confused whether to enter into this world or not.
I didn't know Bitcoin trading is banned in Pakistan. That makes me sad. It's such an amazing invention.
@exyle - oh my goodness, now you are preparing to be a father. that's lovely Sir. @intelliguy wrote a good article about you & I like it too. Steem is the future, I feel it'll be the next btc ;)

I tried both links without success. Probably my error. The ability to see potential is not uncommon... motorcars are damn smelly things! The future of the Steem blockchain is similar to the introduction of automobiles. People understand their horse and buggy. Time will prove the advantages Steem offers. There will be a tipping point when security over comes tradition.
Sorry to hear that. Could you please try them again in 30 minutes? Just to see if they work. I like to take this feedback to Dtube developers. I love the analogy with cars vs horse and buggy :)
I gave it another go... It played in sputters on-off until it stopped completely about 75% into the video. I will try again later. I believe it is a buffering problem the progress bar stops reading the video source.
Third time was the charm. It played completely through with only one short sputter.
thank you for the feedback. I passed it on.
Friend ,can I post again something good about your princess? Please reply
anytime :)
Hi friend I have already done it. I want to tell that if you resteem it then your people also know, that your followers are, how much adorable about you. So please if you want then you can do it, I will also happy. Any way thanks for the permission, wish you a very happy time today.
Awesome. Followed you from @intelliguy post. Followed and upvoted. Great post guys. I am relatively new here since June just learning...
Nice to have you on board! and thanks!
its nice@exyle, people are learning and gathering information about steem blockchain, peoples are joining in steemit world and demanding of bitcoin increase, so its great opportunity to invest here.
I can't help feel that people who can't see the steem blockchain going anywhere are being really short sighted. Too focused on the make money quick aspect. Steemit will be big. I don't know if we will ever become as big as the likes of facebook but that doesn't concern me because I think we will become big in a different way with apps tying into the steemit landscape and steemit/steem being so much more than just this platform.
Here's to steem! :0D
++ Edit They must have updated dtube, I used to always have to look at the ipfs link but the dtube one worked a treat!
Great to hear Dtube is working perfectly! And I agree with you. This will take time but it's just to good. All the data in one blockchain and all the apps tapping into it. It basically gives your app an instant user base.
I saw the post about you - that must have been a lovely surprise!
It's always great to see your posts. Like intelliguy said, reading them is like sitting down and having a chat over a coffee. I loved that analogy.
It was a great surprise! and thank you ever so much!
No need to thank me. Please just keep on keeping on what you're doing here :-)
I am glad there are people like you here on the blockchain who really believe in its future. I can see only see it growing and becoming more popular. We need to invest in it so that it will grow more. Thanks for sharing.
I care deeply about it.
can't see it going anywhere? i can't see it going away? lol !
I think this beautiful post on Steemit describes the long-term business model, and how Steemit is not going away. I’ve linked it but also I’ll provide an excerpt. Just a little background, there are many feature developments every day
long live steemit.....
Blockchain is the future great potential it will be huge:)
I always respect your ideas about this platform....
The baby boy looks cool.
This is the first I read your steem, I am looking forward to read your blog and people's comments about it. @exyle
Solutions to problems are like sunshine. really good one!!!
Cute baby photo @exyle. I wish to learn more about Blockchain, its high popularity raise my curiosity how it works and how it will be beneficial to me :)
fine
amigo #resteemia at your service

Honestly I am not sure where I see Steemit go either... I love being here and it already helped me a lot. But it's facing too many problems right now to become a big (mainstream) thing...
for me steem is a ''mashine'' which possible to recconect in different currency any time.
cool
thanks for sharing with us...
Beautiful photo With baby.///////
Cute baby . . . . Love you
I just finish read @intelliguy post ,but you are first i followed in steam.
