Good Move! Correcting such notions will have such a great effect on steem , its price and the total *industrial* outlook steem has in the crypto and tech world. 

In a way, I even think steem has a lot of advantages over eos. Although, it also seem they both have overlapping merits and demerits. Steem is still easier to work with , with more developed tech tools to work with (steemjs,  steemphp , steempy and even steem  c++ sdk). With all these tools and robustness, there  is still scantiness as regards usage. Although, we have utopian, dtube ,dlive and so on , yet I beleive we are meant to have a lot more.

The reason is because more attention seems to be placed on end-user adoption, and less on tech adoption. In my home country (NIGERIA), there is  lot of steem outreach as regards bringing  in more users with the caption word of "BLOG AND EARN". As good as this seems, it is like riding on a snail's bark , where you could have boarded bullet trains.  I think the community should find ways to promote preaching steem as a tech tool, rather than a platform.  

It is also very sad that many of steem ambassadors and whales don't even know the difference  between steem and steemit. I have seen that in the way many respond to comments on steemblog.

As beautiful and well intended as your write-up seems, i think it is just solving a very minute part of a very big and popular slander of steem  being regarded as a decentralized platform with no base layer technology. 

There needs to be a major sponsored campaign to preach steem as a tech. Theere are so many people in Nigeria who needs steem but doesn't know it is a base layer tech. Every campaign in Nigeria about steem majorly places it as a blogging platform. 

What about that there Are Over 125 Million "Active" Steam Accounts https://kotaku.com/there-are-over-125-million-steam-accounts-1687820875 and
The latest figures from January 2018 show that Steam had 18.5 million simultaneous users at peak time https://www.statista.com/statistics/308330/number-stream-users/

thanks for the info :)

Glad to see more pushback on the assertions made in that article. 

I gave mine here -- https://steemit.com/steemit/@blakemiles84/china-s-ministry-of-industry-and-information-technology-rank-steem-2-blockchain-globally

Thanks @jrcornel!

When misinformation (no matter how well intended) gets out there is damages everyone's public image on this platform, bloody well written letter, constructive yet not dismissive I will send to this the twitter DM too

I noticed those inaccuracies also when I read the article. As editor of Blockchain Times, I read a lot of articles every day. I purposefully did not curate that piece of content from the article (though I did use the article because it was valuable for its rankings) just because of those inaccuracies. I'm glad someone addressed them.

that's drizzling beauty......i am amazed

👍

A very good response to @iamjosephyoung and CCN regarding Steem  and I hope they correct their mistakes, thanks for explaining the terms in lay man words to them @jrcornel

I would even disagree with the statement steemit.com is like reddit, I have tried to make that comparison in the past... but changed the thought along the way....

Reddit has as much, if not more, value in the comments. I don't often see many comments being generated on steemit.com. I can find a great reddit thread that generated from a single post, typically someone asking the same question I am, and the answer thread will have the same info I have sought out. steemit is something truly wonderful, I do agree.... but for myself it has not really seemed to be either a FB, Twitter OR Reddit replacement. I would LOVE it to be.... see a question being asked and the comments coming alive with discussion and/or answers (and the votes going to those responding as well).
