Steem used to be "just" a blogging platform for me, but it has evolved a lot in the two years that I have been using it. It no longer feels like a blogging platform at all, but instead a blockchain of all types of dapps, including a few blogging dapps (Steemit, Busy etc.).
Some of the other things we can do on the Steem blockchain includes:
- Play games! Steemmonsters and Steemgar allows us to play games on the Steem blockchain, and I'm sure there will be many more dapps to follow in the next few years. We have no transaction costs and a quick block rate (3 seconds), so Steem is a good fit for games.
- Photos. There are a few photo apps for Steem, including Steepshot that is trying to pick a fight with Instagram. Just imagine when Instagram users learn that they can get paid for the likes they receive!
- Send and receive coins. Let's not forget that Steem is an amazing blockchain itself, even without the blogging part. Very few blockchains let you send money as cheap and quick as Steem, and one of the best parts is that we can send to a username, and not some 64 character long random string!
And there are many other types of dapps out there. So in my opinion, the Steem blockchain is so much more than just a blogging platform, and dapps like Musing, Steepshot, Steemmonsters etc. all prove this. Blogging is just the tip of the iceberg.
