When Steemit.com becomes the largest crypto-exchange in the world!

in #ideas2reality7 years ago

Poloniex has shown themselves to be incompetent time and time again, and since Steemit.com already pay for all the traffic it receive, it only make sense to open up trading for other currencies right here on our very own Decentralized+Centralized hybrid exchange.

Many of us have waited for months on Poloniex to withdraw funds, apparently they were too busy trolling in the trollbox then paying attentions to tens of thousands of new users signing up every month thanks to Steemit.com.

So why do we need external exchanges when Steemit.com in combination with ChainBase & the proposed Community Token DEX obviously can do a much better job.

Our Systems will in the future be capable to do a whole lot more than just blogging, commenting, upvote & send funds.... Just sayin..

Just... Bitshares DEX.

https://bitshares.org/

i think you meant to write http://www.openledger.io
its the bitshares open ledger decentralized exchange that lets you send it SBD or STEEM and u can exchanmge it for bitcoin!

wow i should have realy bought more ICOs like that DICE ethroll ice man i shoulda bought that i was going to but i had ethereum wallet issues oh well

yes very soon steem will be cross all those ,

I couldn't agree with you more @fyrstikken.... Instead of profiting poloniexs horrible platform, why not just buy and sell other cryptos on steemit?!
GREAT IDEA

The community is full of ideas and we have capable men that can make these ideas come to pass. I am then wondering why we have to keep talking instead of doing.

This is an amazing idea but I guess it does not take too much to kick off things especially as we already have the market running.

Can @fyrstikken bring this subject matter up for other witnesses to vote on if that is all that is required to make things happen.

Thanks for posting...

I agree with you @fyrstikken. when there are other ways that it is easier and practical, why should we wait and choose search which is actually longer and twisted.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful article, it's great idea.

Respect for you my bro @fyrstikken

I might try to make a few trades before leaving Poloniex with my $50 USD.
I've lost a bit while trying to trade crypto. But I probably should leave Poloniex.
I'm also on Bittrex with like $400 worth of BTC too. But there is that BTC fork coming.
People say you should hide BTC in a wallet before the August 2017 fork comes.
And I feel like that is probably good advice.........................

I would primarily trade with the new exchange if one were to come out.

Until then I have more faith in STEEM than other alt cryptos.

@fyrstikken you really come out with brilliant ideas. It would be real opportunity to see the decentralise exchange in realty.
In the meantime wanted to share an update with you. I recently completed the research on the influential whales on Steemit.
I term this project as #whalesanalytics. This week's research was aimed to identify the whale accounts which are popular than the founders of the Steem itself.
I am really happy to inform you that you have more acceptance in the fellow steemians. You rank 7th in the list and ahead of one of the co-founders of Steem.
You can check the complete research based post here. Steem is a really wonderful platform.

The vote is one of the most powerful thing that people can do, it make leader that will lead to success for the nation, the worst is it make also a leader that caan destroy a nation

But here in Steemit the vote from you is the most powerful things that you can do to all people who needs your help

Upvote, comments, and follow people that are new here, guide them to get there success.

Upvote and follow me,
I will do the same

Brilliant idea @fyrstikken then we wouldnt need to use blocktrades or changelly for the times we want to tx out of STEEM or SBD. Traders could find this a great idea too complete transparency about what is going on with the tx orders would be a very welcome thing, and if its all on Steemit all the better.

You got a upvote (not worth much sorry) & resteem.
Steem on beyond the moon, we know we can go further than that.
Good luck to us all.

There are major problems with DEXs from a technical standpoint that make them uncompetitive with centralized exchanges.

Basically, its physics and privacy. Blockchains are both slow and somewhat transparent, neither of which is suitable for an exchange at scale.

So if we wanted a Steem exchange, it would be best to build one privately and go from there.

Totally in favor of the idea @fyrstikken... Absolutely steemit can be much much more than a social media platform, a blogging community or fund transfer route. Other crypto currencies' exchanges and transfers should be the next milestone that steemit should be looking at. Afterall why would a steemian want to go elsewhere if the facility is provided here itself. Wonderful idea and hope that it sees the light of the day sooner than later. ✌️✌️Peace..!

Hi @fyrstikken, this sounds like the sensible thing to do, I will love it.

Dan larimer will think otherwise, he already has bitshares. Dont you guys think steemit as an exchange will make it a centralized platform considering the transacation fees, trading and exchange policies? Let's see how steemit Dex playout however

First of all Dan is no longer part of Steemit Inc. Second Dan does not "have" Bitshares..He is no longer a developer for that project nor is an "owner" of that project. Steemit.com is an App run by Steemit Inc so Dan would not have any say in the matter.
I guess it's possible to build an echange using the Steem Blockchain however it would have to be independent of Steemit.com since Steemit Inc is a registered company in the US and that would expose them to certain regulations regarding AML & KYC.
The idea is good in principal but it would have to be undertaken by a seperate entity.

@fyrstikken this will be a perfect idea and we are actually on the same thinking page: I indicated why people should stop whining and buy more steem yesterday on my blog post-pls feel free to check it out. This plus adding solid revenue streams like targeted advertising (that matches the concept of steemit) will certainly change the playing feld to our advantage. Its time we use innovation and design thinking to add value and make steemit a force to reckon with. Good post and you earn my upvote-always.

I am of minority. I am different. I am evolved.

Amen to that, amen

Can't help thinking this is how it ought to be.

I agree, lets put it into action and thus stop procrastinating. Action speaks louder than words

I want to be your friend.

Follow me and I will make you fishers of Crypto

Hi friend

Advertisement is an entirely untapped realm.

Looking forward to this kind of solution. Poloneix is dead to me after freezing funds,not processing withdrawals, stopping currency withdrawals and refusing to answer support tickets.
In the meantime there are much better exchanges as alternatives.

what other exchanges do you think are better than Poloneix?

BITTREX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It depends what you are after. There are many I have used but I have never had such a bad experience as that with poloniex. If it was in a mainstream industry it would be bankrupt by now.

For steem etc I used Bittrex and have had no issues with them.

@fyrstikken -With the recent issues on Poloniex, your point has been reinforced. Since Steemit already has all the requisite infrastucture, supplementing the platform's abilities with a DEX exchange certainly would make sense. Thanks for sharing this thought. I am sure it will get acted upon by Steemit developers soon. Upvoted.

Update on my end is that I am doing a 'Photospeak' series with my memories from Africa - with just a photo with minimal words - Letting the picture speak for itself mostly. I request you to check Photospeak #1: Man vs. Nature when you have time and provide your comments. Thanks

I would love to see that as well on the internal exchange. Even if we could have a few other coins. I would be happy if even just LTC was added. So there was LTC / SBD, LTC / STEEM and STEEM / SBD

I think it gets a lot more complicated with regulations though probably. At that point they would possibly have to have everyone register to be on the safe side for know your customers laws in the United States. I'm not really sure. They probably feel safe with STEEM / SBD because of SBD just being debt on STEEM.

I cant wait

This depends entirely on how steemit will grow over time, i hope to be sooner

You don't make much sense.

Nicely said! I felt so bad for people that had trouble with poloniex. I hate to be in that situtation.

Hmm if Steem also becomes an exchange, won't the witnesses hold to much power? I'm not talking about the current witnesses who I'm sure are trusted members of the community who have done a lot for the platform. But if you get to control as much money as an exchange, won't this give a strong motive for ill-intentionned people to become witnesses? As we all know, elections aren't the most secure system, it's not impossible to rig/destabilize them. It would still be very hard to do, but not impossible.
I love the idea of a fast and stable exchange, I'm just pointing out it would increase the risks of an attack on steem.

Very interesting idea. Is there anything concrete planned?

Let's do it! How can I help?!

As I noted in a respone to another comment:

I guess it's possible to build an echange using the Steem Blockchain however it would have to be independent of Steemit.com since Steemit Inc is a registered company in the US and that would expose them to certain regulations regarding AML & KYC.
The idea is good in principal but it would have to be undertaken by a seperate entity

AML and KYC can be sidestepped with anonymously creating accounts with STEEM, ETHEREUM, or BITSHARES. @someguy123 could be a dev to help with project.

hey check out STEEM PARK GRAND OPENING ! I went with my kids it was awesome! Beauitful!!
https://steemit.com/steemit/@ryan313/steempark-for-artists

The future is looking great for steemit , im looking forward to it and spending many more years on steemit ! I have been using bittrex since this happened , I would love it if the whole process was easier , and we could just do it all directly on steemit ! Great post thanks for sharing ! 👍👍👍

@fyrstikken , this is an excellent idea. It generates money. (fees). Blogging now , do you know how that is generating money for Steemit ? I.e. bloggers buying steem to switch it to Steem Power (which gives tremendous returns after 2 years) Or are their any other ways which causes buying pressure for Steem on the market ? Btw Poloniex are croocks , screwed me 1 time , it won't happen a second time. All out !

fyrstikken how about a mocking melody on poloniex?

I don't love you. I have a question for you though.

yes

If you have a question for @gary-wood, you'll have to go through me.

Sure, what do you think about robots talking to each other?

I think it's a beautiful thing. Love in the time of cholera but without the cholera kind of beautiful.

The idea is great but stepping on the two boats at the same time might sink you in the ocean, and that is why i think that steemit should stick to its core purpose and that is blogging @fyrstikken

Ironman, what is your function?

In theory, I agree with this but I must caution against trying to expand Steemit beyond its core. There have been many internet successes that begin to expand services only to utterly fail because they failed to maintain the core.

Wow! Thanks for such a valuable information. If this happens every one of us would be happy.

Hey I am ready right now! Please open for business. I have many orders to place...

Great thought, this is only the beginning of STEEM.

Who has the capabilities of creating that... I sure don't lol

I have no idea what you just said, but it sounds brilliant.

You have been doing the same to me for the majority of my time talking to you.

It is a privilege to talk to me 😎

Why do you say that?

The matrix told me...


Bye bye poloniex, I am waiting since 29 days for a support ticket...

1 Etc missing

Good idea, one day I hope we get the direct STEEM <-> USD conversion but until then a STEEM DEX would be awesome. I would be happy to move my business to it from Bittrex if the platform operates as well as steemit.com does. We could also have a bunch of new trading pairs opened up against SBD maybe?

ETH/SBD, BTC/SBD ... would be neat, especially if we got SBD under control a little better.

One of the best ideas i have heard. Would be great for those new to crypto as well.

I agree, but the rollout should be slow to encourage growth and avoid delays, crashes, etc. So if they added LTC or ETH first, that would be great to use and beneficial to Steemit users. Add to that a blocktrades type of quick digital conversion and you have a winner!

We don't need poloniex anymore, only a bunch of incompetent people running the site

Wow, thats a very good marketing concept

those who showed them self unworthy
to partner with ( polinex) but as the name
already suggests its ex, its History :)

Keep Steeming move on Fighterstikken

I would be thinking of EOS with this idea. Not that its not do-able on the steem platform.

Hello @fyrstikken ! How I wish this comes true as soon as possible! There must be many others like me who find it quite difficult to buy some steem right now! It is so complicated!
If all is done through steemit, that will surely be a great thing indeed!
Btw it is amazing to see how you are responding to all the comments! You rock!
Remember last night !?
Cheers
@progressivechef

Hey, can't we just create our own decentralized network, each member from each country, that will really solve the problem if you could directly exchange sbd for local currency.

Can't wait to see how Steemit grows. I still can't believe people were forced to wait that long for their money on Poloniex.

obviously it will become the world largest crypto-exchange soon.
