Blockchain will change the world I am convinced of that.
I am not convinced that the markets we see today are part of that change (yet).
The speed of which they go up is mindboggling.
I feel lucky I don't have to trade these markets.
I can feel my mind is a little bit conflicted because of this.
To ease my mind I took some more crypto profit, while I wait, to see how things develop.
I talk about more at the beginning of my vlog.
Steepshot
There is a new Steepshot update out! here.
Steepshot is an Instagram app on the Steem blockchain.
They have a web version and an Android version.
The iOS version is delayed because they have some trouble getting the app approved by Apple.
@blockbrothers knows this feeling very well because we also had a lot of trouble convincing the people at Apple to approve Steemify
Again this is not a bad thing. Apple is just a little stricter when it comes to apps in the store.
I did have a chance to try out Steepshot on my alternative account.
The web app works perfectly on the iPhone and it's a lot of fun!
Give it a go!
In my vlog, I talk about my ideas for an SMT for projects like this. (starts @6.23)
I have recently become a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.
We build Steemify a notification app for your Steemit account for iOS.
Get it Here:

Hey @exyle just got the Steemify app on my iPhone. What a great tool! And simple. Btw, I think the app icon needs to have more contrast. It looks kinda muted compared to the other icons that I thought it didn’t finish downloading earlier!
Are you on Facebook btw?
Hey @kevinwong. (I hope you get this on your phone). Thanks, man! You are right about the icon. It's already being worked on by our designer. I have facebook but I rarely use it. I am on steemit chat and discord.
Lots of apps to check out over the weekend! Anyway catcha on steemit.chat might have some app ideas to run through you :)
I already turned most of my ETH into other crypto (STEEM, EOS, OMG and others), so the bit I got left I'm probably going to hodl a bit longer. Let's see where it takes us from here. I also thinkk there will be a correction heading our way, but who knows when that'll happen. I never thought BTC would go this high in the first place, and taking that as a benchmark for other crypto, I think there's a bright future ahead for Steem.
That's always the question. It's why I'm taking profit gradually.
I converted some of my ETH into STEEM POWER. This network is fun and rewarding at the same time :)
Hi @bennierex, Can you explain this?
Have you thought about putting some of your profits into property? I'm not sure how affordable it is in the Netherlands right now but it's more exciting than fiat and returns a passive income from rent.
I think most cryptos will see a correction before all goes to the moon again come 2018 and great news about the SMT and hardfork 18...we will see a happy 2018 soon..keep steeming bud and feel free to see my new posts about once in a life time opportunity...success to you.
Every time I've thought this, it kept going up...I sold BTC at $4,000...then the rest at $8,000...and here we are, soon to hit 20k.
Not a bad idea to take some profits, but I know I would have been much better off if I just HODL.
you are right. i have been feeling tempted to sell ,especially when btc climbed up last week. strill feel that way but trying to control my self and HODL
Absolutely, bitcoin might pass 100K in 2 years time...holding is great however at least you made good profits....better see my post for a new opportunity ...wish you success.
Great to see the Steem blockchain growing =)
Have you heard about this porn thing called "vice" I think, that are planning to be build on the steem blockchain thanks to SMT ?
And people getting paid while watching adult movies.
Funyy industry but could help skyrocket our blockchain =D
Yeah, I heard of it. I follow the project with professional interest ;)
Hahaha me too, we are professionals no doubt !
Great video. Your right. It is strange chatting with people that are clueless on Cryptocurrency. There are a lot of people that just want to dismiss it and not waste their time.
Already there are a lot of applications built on top of the steem blockchain. With SMTs the ecosistem will grow exponentially, exciting stuff.
You are absolutely right in that it would be a good opportunity to try the application from the Steepshot, since mobile applications are always good because of the ease of use. What do I do today, in principle! Thank you @exyle and keep us informed.
I know it's not and easy stuff, to get app approved from apple, but am happy that the steemify app got approval from them. I will like to say well done at @exyle and @blockbrothers you guys are really doing a great work.
Do you think that an SMT wihtout any ICO will have any value whatsoever?
Yes!
That is motivating. I was carrying around this idea of a Memory Coin to unite memory sports and memory coaches worldwide, in which I am heavily invloved since 2003. I could pull the strings and bring the best memory athletes in the world together and train and teach on a platform based on a SMT. However, finding investors for an ICO scares the shit out of me and I would rather make it a silent beginning and then hand it over to the world.
i've gotta get to the point where it's securely locked away and i can forget about it for a few years and just live my life and then jump back in a few times and just see where the cards land. good or bad, it's all an experience too! :)
steem will growing more up in next some months we all happy with steem now and we will always investment in crypto is not a risk everyone get some profit to invest in crypto specialy steem
It is amazing what I saw the last 6 months when I started.. can't imagine how it was 2 years ago... And just imagine we are still in the prehistoric phase of crypto..
I'll have to have a listen to this when not stuck on conference calls!
I've been trying to figure out applications for SMT's and, when reading the white paper, it tends to mainly focus on crowdsourcing via ICO.
Whereas I'm really keen on seeing how it applies to small scale media outlets who are probably not in the position to get that sort of mass scale buy in. The paper, on my rather high level leaf through, did imply that ICO was optional, but I didn't grasp how that worked.
My main vision is a hope that enthusiast communities, that basically exist on the goodwill and enthusiasm of contributors working for free, could turn to monetisation.
I did note the developer application of SMT, and this seems like what is going on with the Instagram-alike application you mention. And the whitepaper went on to detail a Discqus type application for applying on websites.
Good Post! Thank you!
thanks for information on steem blockchain.
Wow that is pretty cool my friend.
@exyle It will change the World for the Better......
Good luck for Steepshot...
Yes!! And we are involved, some a bit earlier then others (me) but I still think we are early innovators in the blockchain.
So a lot will come, and we all will be happy.
wow friend your analisys is more big, of the happen on bitcoin world you are preparing a situation future for it good especulation
Will Net Neutrality directly affect the Steemit Community?
That would really suck. I hate this net neutrality stuff. I think that VPN's would solve the issue, but I am not 100% sure on that, so essentially, as long as there's internet, they can't fully block blockchains. You can't cockblock the block. Again, I am not 100%, just based on research and reading around.
I think it's not gonna fly. There'll be so much opposition and it won't go away. Eventually, we'll be back to normal. When there's consistent and overwhelming opposition, then it's impossible to go against that.
Nice!! I got to try out the Steepshop one day!!! I saw a bit of it and loved the idea of the rotating pictures.
i also happy that steem is growing and i convert my steem when sbd is on 11 and now steem is also growing market cap growing all others crypto also bcz newly investment reach up everyday and i think this time is not better for some trading only holds ur coins now this time @exyle...am i write?
There are many things for me in this post which will be of great help to me. thanks @exyle
hi. i like your post. am quite at all this crypto stuff but begining to enjoy the things am seeing.
I refuse to post pictures on instagram and get nothing in return when I can post them here and make steem, so I'm interested for sho!
I know how it feels, to believe in the technology behind and at the same time also afraid of the sudden outburst of price movement.
I have to try this new app :D
I check that and nice post.
Nice story,excellent writing skill. Thanks for sharing the post
i just now can't wait for smt to get launch the platform is all set up its just require the acceleration its the best time infact it looks to me
Thanks for share about crypto market....its very helpfull
i dont like that bitcoin now trading as future, because its got unlimited supply, and the thing of crypto is limited supply, so im not sure on market because of it, and bitcoin can be shit
@exyle,
Without SMT, STEEM made this success, with SMT like ETH platform STEEM will make a new history! So this is the best way to be a part of this great journey! Keep Steeming, and STEEM On! Nice Vlog friend!
Cheers~
great post homie
I've really only collected coins, not traded them. In most cases, I don't want to trade my coins for other coins, I want to trade my dollars for them. You know? Once I have BTC, it's hard for me to trade them for another coin. This costs me trader profits. Big ones, evidently. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.
SMT's are definitely gonna change the view of Steem and we gotta go a long way with it .Hope we go in a higher value in the coming year !
Love Steemit and Steem /SBD ;)
The speed is going mind blowing fast ... and this is great sometime but sometime it give tension too lol for traders infact but seeing this makes me feel good about the growth we are seeing
Yes you are right the growth rate is quite amazing however I think there is never a time late to invest on crypto, imagine a person who bought BTC in 2010 and now it's 2017. Great write sir
corrections seems to be coming up real quickly this time around and could happen anytime you did the right thing there and explained very well
Great post @exyle I'm keen to see where it goes too
let their be conflict on that part but its more good to see it rise without doing much isn't it
I am already on steepshot for a while and I love it. Easy to use and even better than instagram.
A little profit is always great to have gives much relax to the mood in such up swings you did right
blockchain will change definitely no doubt about that but its just how we are going to use its ability for the next step is what matters truly amazing time we have in front of us
I've invested in small coins yet I believe Steem has the brightest future for the following reasons:
I don't fully understand the concept of SMT at this point. However, I'm sure there could be more points to support my claim mentioned above.
Great post @exyle.
Steem On!
Really liked your idea and vision you had towards smt lets see how it will actually turn out to be
