Without advertisers burning Steem to get their content in front of Steemians there's little to no value proposition for investors. There is only value being sucked out from content creators. Many don't invest and just constantly power down. Steem needs to focus on getting advertisers in ASAP! I am only talking about no invasive ads like at www.coinmarketcap.com Just giving a cool place for bloggers to come write stories does not bring value into the system. Yet again, Steem INC. does not get it.

Mmmm.. coinmarketcap should definitely have Steemit stickers sticking all around!
yeah for sure. crypto users first. Steemit INC needs to be advertising there.
yes, great marketing idea, advertise steemit on http://coinmarketcap.com/
While I don't fully agree with all of this... there is a bit of truth to this. Most content creators will just see this as a new place to earn a pay check. In order for the price of steem to actually rise and benefit all of the early adopters that are here we may need something a little more than just bringing in influencers. Something that gives people an incentive to buy steem, power up steem, and hold steem. Or even something that decreases the supply.
Overall, I think you guys are off to a good start. I have been glad to see this level of communication with the community, just think we might need to focus on other areas as well besides just bringing in influencers. Maybe those plans are already being thought about and best left for a second stage after this is already well underway?! I am not sure. I just wanted to put my 2 cents out there. :)
Look, I been here almost a year in since May. These guys talk talk talk but no action. Investors want results and the whole Steem eco-system is based upon the price of Steem. I would love to sit down in front of Ned and tell him exactly how he could get the Steem engine going again. You have to MUST MUST get major crypto advertisers to burn Steem. I have been around the block for years running my own business and investing into Crypto. I even have CFA. Let me tell you that Steem has got to start burning to increase the value. Iconomi recently did this because they have real fees and earnings and the value went 8X from ICO. Ned you need to make a deal with the advertisers or this is going down in flames.
perhaps the idea of 'Crypto' should be discarded. Consider Crypto to be the tool that things can be done with. Promote 'what can be done' rather that the underlaying tool.
If you think you can make such contributions, then message me on Steemit.chat and let's talk. I'm @mitchell
That probably means a discussion on the incentive model and token structure, but that's something I'm interested in.
That's actually not very accurate reporting.. I watch that market quite closely.
Anyway, if you look around FB, you'd know that ned has been going all around in blockchain conventions with his STEEM hoodie :). Sure, Inc can communicate more holistically about what they're doing.
Yes, thanks for putting in your 2 cents! This is part of what we mean by crowdsourcing. Hearing your thoughts and opinions and gauging what information you want to get from us in the future.
I reluctantly agree about needing advertising. I've heard it said that 'google is not a search engine...it's an advertising agency that provides a free search engine. People use google for the search feature and are exposed to the ads. (Something about an 'attention economy?) "attention" (eyes on ads) is worth money to business.
Yes, good point.
