This is good news, motivating when the price is unstable, thanks

To the layman: Blockchain? Bitcoin? Bahhhhhhhhhh

Steemit? Oh shit, you make a full time living from it? Damn...

This is such a great idea. Hopefully, the developers will start to build this ecosystem, it will definitely help steem become moonshot :))
so sad I don't have any developers skills
thanks for sharing @kevinwong!

this is very interesting sir
hopefully in the near future we can enjoy this all
as you mentioned above master
I will wait and support it. my plakton might be better for us
can appreciate the keyaman in the Steem ecosystem ..
- sharing this information is very easy but very useful for others
- Your best wishes

Hi, I was invited in a focus group discussion attended by economics lecturers from a number of prominent universities in Indonesia and Bank Indonesia (central bank). The FGD will take place in Yogyakarta on 5 April. FGD themes on cryptocurrency. And I want to promote Steem and SBD in the meeting. You know, many economics lecturers and central banks are very anti cryptocurrency.

The article for FGD was already I posted and got curation from you. I want to get criticism and suggestions, what else to say in the meeting? I want to make them respect to Steemit, Steem, and SBD.  

Sorry if I use this space to ask you for suggestions. But this is related to the strategy of introducing Steem and SBD to the financial and academic authorities in Indonesia.  

Thanks so much @kevinwong.

great post bro

time to work for the awesomeness developers together we can do it ;)

I was resteem @kevinwong

Really cool ideas but until the owners/developers of such websites like coinmarketcap feel that they have more to gain from implementing steem related application we won't see any serious moves to change the status quo.

Imagine steemit get to the Top 100 websites in the global arena. How big it would be ? About the Cryto ads can you use adblock to block it @kevinwong ? I'm blockimg ads on my router using tomato firmware and adguard dns and adguard app on my laptop and phones, therefore I don't see much ads.

Kevin, I think you should create a fund for these purposes. Unfortunately, developers wont create complex things on Steemit for free. As developer myself I can tell that's because of a double risk (risk of creating something new + risk of the platform). I love steemit, but I have to admit that there is an additional risk. 

So, the Steemit Developer Fund could solve this problem in some degree.

LOL :) Although I understand what you are trying to say, all the methods used by users at Steemit to advertise their own posts is also advertising, just in a different way but sometimes more annoying than the banners-ad websites. And I agree with you, too many ads run to try and get people to buy some new token with nothing solid behind it. I guess we will she this increased even more with more and more platforms emerging allowing anybody to launch a token.

A decentralized Coinmarketcap.  That's an interesting idea.  I use that site daily.  I don't really pay attention to the ads, but you raise a good point.  It's very easy to slip in shady ads there.

Great advice. Steem can actually do wonders...advertising is good but sometimes very toxic to the platform it is leveraging on. 

>... utilising Steem in getting rid of predatory advertising and improving applications of such nature is one of the better solutions out there.

And this is the best workable solution to the *nonsense*. Thanks for sharing. 

@eurogee

In my opinion since we are quite new we need to advertise. Advertise for what? 
I say by advertising we can educate many people and help them bring into the society. More the number of people more will be the future. Thats why i believe advertisements are necessary.

To be honest, I don't see how Steem's unique rewards mechanism and CMC would make sense. It feels an unnatural, almost wrong fit. It's not because it can be done that it also makes sense and should be done.

Only if tightly integrated with the DEX, but then it would be a better fit to use Bitshares chain as a platform.

Maybe I just don't see the fit, please elaborate if that's the case. This feels like one of those where spaghetti is thrown against the wall just for the sake of throwing spaghetti.

What do you think specifically about [ wildspark](http://wildspark.me/)? Seems like an interesesting idea to me...

great post

very good post @kevinwong 😎😎

A decentralizing CMC (maybe even an SMT?) would greatly benefit some of the components they have and incentivize crowd-sourced material like their lackluster "social" information that's super vital but poorly managed.

Thank you for those resources! 
CoinMarketCap is a big provider of crypto related data. Other Applications relate on them, because they got their name already big in the game. If you would ask me, i would rather go on cmc than on anything else atm. Nobody likes ads, but i like to see them as an way to appreciate an content developer on other platforms. The way steem work, is and will be far more superior.
Thank you very much for this big upvotes

Of course the websites would be even better without the ads.
Would be definitely a good improvement if the steem protocol would change this in a bigger way.

nice post

I would love to have an ad-free platform to work with, sometime I feel like I am being stalked by these ads due to being monitored by Facebook, Twitter. This are scary stuffs!

It would be amazing if something like a decentralized version of coin market and bittrex can exist on this blockchain  I know people will say I'm bluffing  but it's possible, this will decrease monopoly and make the crypto world more expantiative

Yeah that true ads are really annoying on coinmarketcap. I check coinmarketcap nearly every hour and these ads pissed me off.  I would be great innovation if there is app like coinmarket app on steemit/steem. We want to get rid off these annoying ads. Thanks for article.
 Resteem

As winter approaches in the Southern Hemisphere patience for ads run thin. I think that Steem is going to be the most profitable and most appreciated cryptos. I love that you highlight the web finance solutions that Steem solves. I look forward to more widespread adoption..

Great idea. Having advertisements on a site based on decentralization doesn’t make sense. The Steem platform seems like the perfect place.

Very nice you give us insight. Briliant has paved the way to bitcoin.

I think you have put in a lot of the words in that. Am not sure, if there's anyone who would not prefer the ads free version of CMC over the present ads-infested one. 

One thing is sure, if CMC will not do this, then soon enough a competing firm will take the advantage and the Steem blockchain and beat them to it. I have very high hopes that by the launch of SMT, will have a lots of web based applications build on the Steem blockchain that we will not need to look outside for most of what we need.

@kevinwong, I'm also focus and check coinmarketcap very near hours and it has access to solve some problems. Good way to understand what kind of cryptos more profitable or loss via coinmarketcap. I've seen these predatory Ads on there and perhaps trouble gives. So need to remove from there. *Steem* blockchain come to top list in blockchain and need to good promoting ads. Thanks your article.
