Could be possible,<b> actually I think it will happen, somewhere I read that there is website soon popping up as an alternative to blogging dealing  only pics! I forgot the name, I did visit that website a couple of days ago and it was under construction! <em>
This could be revolutionary</em>!</b> ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZC8LaqAQmDAfsdKE7CdnMz6CJcGqaqYNEzj2Jf5GBAGm/image.png)

Thanks for the clear explanation! You have solved a lot of people confusion toward this two words!

thanks for the info.... i just dont like the idea of creating more....it become too similar to each other... we should just spread it more... and maximized its potential...

nice post

Steemit is a social media platform very similar to Reddit. However, it interacts with Steem blockchain, by storing and retrieving data, and is therefore limited to the rules specified to interact with Steem. I think so ...

I'm exited to see different platforms emerge for consuming Steem content... like you are saying (a Instagram clone, Twitter clone, etc.)

This is such great info! But I wonder why would there be a need for other clones of existing social media platforms? Has the internet not become saturated with start-ups of these kinds already?  Does anybody know how I can use Steemit it to my advantage if I already have  the major social media platforms? There must be something special in it and how we use it could unlock its full potential. Great topic btw. :)

Wow, thanks for this post.  I knew Steem was a great idea and has a bright future.  However I didn't know that Steem had THIS much potential.

So I could hypothetically create a new, say, Instagram on the Steem blockchain and people would be able to log in with their Steemit accounts?

nice information I got from your post, I am new on steemit... I impressed from your work & earning...  That's I am following you..  so follow me & guide me. Thanks...

If this works as it seems to be look, steemit is on its way to becoming a serious phenomenon in time!

This was very informative. You were clear in explaining the concepts to the users of our platform.

I can see why you think there will be multiple clones in the future, serving different needs but what about closed groups?  Do you see any way of producing the closed forums that people sign up for and have access to on a limited basis?  I assume that is difficult to deliver on a public block chain and may even be unwanted.

Im such a Steemit noob, I need all the info I can get!

I dont quite think steemit will have the user base that some of these big social platforms have. Not everyone is tech savvy or cares to blog. Instagram/twitter/snapchat are super easy to easy and they have apps, meaning they are centralized. Not sure how a decentralized system could work life how you are proposing.

Having said all of this, I think it would be amazing if steemit did grow in both size and value, but the only way to do this is through positive user interaction and since steemit gives out tangible rewards there will always be a lot fo scammers and garbage content created by people just wanting a quick dollar

Thank you for sharing your view @juliank! I joined Steemit recently and in my first post I mentioned that this is a project where endurance is needed, and that I love. I agree with you that there is future in here, but we the users must ensure that future by writing interesting and high quality posts and performing careful and responsable curation of the posts. We need to share our views and find a common ground for a solid grow. That is the only way to control scammers trying to take advantage with garbage posts. I am all in to help building a bright future for Steemit. Cheers, and thanks again.

Good information.

nice information! resteemed :D

Yes i think so, steemit will be the most favorit social media in the future like facebook, instagram, and twiter.
Your good @juliank

Imagine everybody in the world using those soon-to-be-built social platforms that run on the Steem blockchain. This could mean that the economy as we know it is going to change **BIGTIME**.
In the long run, this could mean that big banking kartels are going to be destroyed! I sincerely hope that as many people as possible hop aboard the Steem train. 
Thanks for the clarification @juliank. Excellent post, as usual👍.

The way Steemit is growing it will surpass Facebook and other social media platforms in the years to come in value and popularity. This cannot be gauged by number of users alone. Facebook has so many members not only because it has been around for a decade(as a first mover) but also because everyone needs to have an account in order to take a look at what others are doing!

Most FB users are not active for the reason given above - they merely lurk and gape at pictures and read what others have posted. Those who are active mainly post meaningless selfies and nonsense - reason why I stopped looking at Facebook.

There are a few useful posts here and there, more the exception than the rule.

Very few selfies on Steemit and anything that may come close to the nonsense that one sees on Facebook is just an effort by someone who may not be the most talented writer around but still wants to make it on Steemit. 

Great post by Juliank, thank you!

Good info. I really hope this happens especially with all the censorship going on and ad money being taken away from creators.

Well said @juliank. I think Steem is the future of social

you have a great future on steemit

I hope Steem & Steemit will grew and will be developed very fast.
thanks for share your post

There is still so much potential in Steem and Steemit. That is why i am powering up and holding on to my Steem.

I totally agree, steem is a place where like minded people trade opinions and information world wide that isn't censored. As long as people can talk freely and express their knowledge to others the steemit community will grow and knowledge will transfer freely to the people of the world.

That was really a great explanation! Thank you!

Hmm... So maybe Steem is more akin to Google's social media branch? Just that interactions depend on the blockchain?

I can agree with everything noted here except that in 5-10 years there will be clones...no, I think that this will be sooner,  the blockchain world is very volatile but if you expand this volatility into a 20 years for example, everything will look normal... so as an internet year is like 5 normal years, crypto year is much faster.....

It has Great potential... It will grow as much as youtube... There is a need to simplify the layout... rest all is ok..

I am new to Steem and the whole cryptocurrency thing. What I would like to know is how I can utilize Steem for my business. I work for a graphic designer and printer. We may be a bit old as we are both in our mid to late 40s, but we do understand that in today's world, social media is THE way to advertise. I am worried though about advertising costs as we don't have large enough amounts of followers on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to simply post our product offerings.  I am most curious to know if Steem can be a more effective option.

I really hope you are correct on everything mentioned in your article friend.. We all hope to see stern it go up up and away in the near future.. 
Cheers for boosting moral and best of luck to you buddy :)

Hope you are right brother. I see a bright future for the platform too.. There is nothing else in the world right now that provides such beautiful freedom. Cheers for the amazing article and thanks for making me smile. This should be on trending page 🍻

Steemit is a social media(more accurately a blog), and Steem is the basic foundational "distribution database system" which is based on blockchain technique. In Steem, the top 21 most Prestigious users of Steemit record the all data in Steemit.

It's a huge advantage that developers can build 3rd party apps on top if it.

Steemit isn't simple. Earning money is a great incentive but the difficulties new users have scare people away.

But that's hopefully solved by 3rd party apps.

I wonder what happens if way more users "fight" for the same sized rewards pool...

Excellent post. Amazing. Well done
