This is going to get interesting the dapps will get even better and the steem blockchain would be ruling all over :)

I just recently got my account big enough that I felt comfortable delegating out some SP to various projects that I believe in.  In the future I hope to do more of this.  It would be awesome to be able to delegate SP to a dapp like musing and take advantage of some of the returns they are getting on all of the upvotes they are doing with the 1mil + SP they have delegated to them.

@exyle, Sounding really **Productive** and beneficial too. And in my opinion every project will not going to make it but for sure in this **Economy** they have an chance to survive in this **Economy** through **Delegations** if they have an promising road map and overall implementation plan. I am really excited to see how everything will going to open up in the future.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Steempower delegation *"is the perfect way to incubate projects without risk. (you can always take it back)."*

I think this is the main advantage of those projects being developed on the STEEM blockchain, because not everybody feels comfortable to invest their money in projects that don´t have any credentials and/or experience. (let's be honest, although we have some interesting ideas, we don´t have all stars teams creating projects here)

By delegating SP, everybody can invest safely and based on the amount of research you put into that project you will find out what´s the best amount to delegate and make you so profit on the long run.

Delegated Steem Power for a year is exactly what I hope to receive for my news project @newforyou. I think we haven't even scratched the surface of the possibilities offered by investing while keeping your money. 

What if venture capital investors used delegation or automatic voting to invest in offline projects? For example upvoting an automatic activity report from a store every day. Maybe a separate blockchain would be needed, so that business communication doesn't compete with content for rewards.

I was following if on the live stream but I had feeling like what is happening here with day 2 day 1 went better. I saw also more presentations in my life and I couldn't hear everything also. They were talking too fast, stream 2 had a shortage a constant buzz. But I was there that is what counted 😁😊

Next time i want in also but no flying for me so I hope it is in Germany or France I can go by train. 

Also steemfest should stay steemfest but then bigger with the professional businesmodels you talked about and a fest it's a fest so steemmonsters should just make a part of it that is just more fun. 😁 small parts make everything just experience more and the speeches of all the company's should be a small part of it but part of it and professional. Also different I worked at a software develop company and they sold software but had also investors. It's the same thing with delegations only the investors lose their investment when the company goes bankrupt that isn't the case with delegation. If one company isn't doing it's job you could say ok I'm pulling it out after a year right?

It's great that more and more people are starting to think about sustainable business models. The SP delegation thing is actually kinda similar to ICOs (just smaller in size and impact):
You get initial funding but have to find a way to *sustainably* run the project in the long run. Hardly anybody in the entire blockchain space has solved this, yet.

I would very much welcome such a contest. You could even enhance it by paying back a little bit once the project got profitable by delegating back, to another startup project or by setting beneficiaries.

Thanks for bringing this up, enjoy the rest of Steemfest!

This can be one of the biggest changes at a positive or negative level in the community! Only the fittest as you mentioned will be those who take advantage of this is expected to see how it turns out:)

All this sounds very promissing. Although the surviving of the fittest conceptmay be discouraging for most minnows

I think this should bring up the importance of something that many have notnpaid attention to in that investors are also needed here.  Many investors that were attracted here have been attacked in the past given that they trended towards vote selling and bots for passive income. This could help and fill in the gap as SMT come closer.  However, we need to make sure that they have a place within the community as well.

Oh no...I am not very fit. I am doomed

I know you have great ideas and this event is making it more relevant. 
You are at a stage where projects will come your way.

Good stuff, Mark. I have  yet to commit to learning about Steem Monsters but maybe I should do so now. At least familairize myself a little bit with the game as it will be adopted by new users who come aboard down the road.

So it would only benefit me to know something about it

Mark @exyle I really like your Thinking Here and Agree. I think a Future SteemMonsters Fest would be a Wonderful Thing if it Occurs................

i absolutely, totally agree with you.  i think steemhunt getting listed on an exchange in early 2019 is gonna be huge.

Great article @exyle. Lots of info and gives some ideas to mull over. I for one love Steem Monsters and been having a good time with it so far. Different and more Dapps will be a good idea and introducing ways of incorporating steem into them can only benefit the platform and blockchain. In my opinion anyways.

I'm speaking with a lot of people, almost everyone agrees that Steem is a great tool but majority thinks it cannot compete favourably with other coins especially in terms of value. 
What's your thought?

Crypto is survival of the fittest!
