Steem's Vision and Goals: Tokenizing the Internet

In this episode, the host discusses Steem's vision and the evolving goals of the platform. The overarching vision for Steem has remained consistent - to "tokenize the internet" and provide a decentralized way for people to publish and curate content that cannot be taken down.

Decentralizing Content Curation

The host explains that the current internet is centrally curated, with a few dominant platforms controlling the flow of information. Steem aims to decentralize this curation process through its "proof of brain" tokenization model. This will enable the rise of Web 3.0 sites that will eventually displace the current Web 2.0 platforms that fail to adapt.

Seamless Onboarding

While the current signup and onboarding process for Steem may still be a bit rough, the host believes this will improve dramatically in the next 2-3 years. The goal is to make it seamless for anyone, regardless of technical skill level, to join and leverage the power of Steem.

Targeting Communities and Websites

The focus is shifting from onboarding individual users to targeting entire communities and websites. The host envisions Steem representatives actively engaging with business owners, site owners, and projects that could benefit from Steem's features like tokenization and decentralized curation.

Leveraging SMTs and Communities

The upcoming launch of Smart Media Tokens (SMTs) and the continued development of Steem's community features are seen as key enablers for this shift in strategy. The host believes that when these capabilities are fully realized, Steem will be able to onboard entire communities and websites to its platform, allowing them to create their own tokens and leverage the proof of brain model.

Patience and Perseverance

The host acknowledges that Steem may have gone through a "darkest before the dawn" period, but believes the project is far from dying. With the recent activity and changes, such as the EIP update, the host sees a lot of life and potential in Steem. The focus is on continued scaling and improvement, with the confidence that Steem is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for tokenization and decentralized content platforms.
