"We as the users are the backbone of Steem that give it its strength. We are the development team."

Cannot agree more with this. People can argue about other shitcoins, but Steemit is real, with real people. Period.

Need we say more, really?

I'd say many of the blockchain projects will fail, simply because majorities are just a copy of one another. Some projects lack vision, others just cannot deliver when flushed with cash. It's a matter of time before competition weed out the weakest link. Now, does that mean all projects will fail? I don't think so. It just mean that we have to research and place our best bet with team with solid roadmaps which actually solve a big enough real world problem.

The reason I like Steemit (content wise) is due to the fact that it filters out a lot of the junk content by giving users the power to select what is and isn't considered valuable information. While no system is perfect and I can see how this might have issues when it comes to pushing narratives or even censorship issues, there is at least still an incentive for creators to make content that will be of genuine value to the community, as opposed to click-bait adware dross that serves no purpose beyond ad revenue.

Investment in cryptocurrency like Steemit is the best.i don't care if it going down now but surely with Steemit I believed our future is secured

Hmmmm 🤔. I never thought of it this way.  

This means that Steem is the most decentralised platform. 😃. Good observation tara !! Is your name tara by the way 🤔. At my place, tara means star. 🌟

So thought-provoking post. Never thought about it before, that we users of steemit is part of the development team of steemit. By indirectly helping other members to write better content and contributing back to the society is definitely a good way to help improving steemit!

Wow you introduce another angle of why steemit will grow better and stronger in the future. I'm proud to be a steemian at this early stage, let's work together to make it a better community.

I believe that Steem has the chance to become a strong backbone in the cryptosphere because it is one of the rare cryptocurrencies that are mined by creating real value.

While Bitcoins are mined by powerful computers solving more and more complex algorithms (not a really meaningful activity for the society), most of Steem is mined by bloggers who post high-quality content that makes people more informed/inspired/enlightened/entertained (real value for the society).

Cheers! : )

Without people using it in their daily lives no crypto will survive, that is why you should invest in cryptos with sustainable long term projects like steemit social-economic community.

SMT will be a great blockbuster and an awesome innovation for Steem

Very true. Steem has actual value and is easy to explain to people. A huge advantage over others that are too complicated for people to grasp their supposed value and utility.

Absolutely! You know, since there's no real reliable way to value cryptocurrencies, I've followed a set criteria to determine whether I'd invest. This criteria includes a solid team w/ commitment to fulfilling roadmap goals. A solid community behind the project. And a live/active product with users. With projects like ETH and STEEM we have this, and it's the strength and as you say "backbone" driven by these elements that give me the confidence to keep holding for the long term.

@tarazkp I think if we should work together and helpp each other we will accomplish more. I know there are already some groups that help minnows whether it be for writing a better article or gaining SP via upvotes. I hope good influence programs will continue.

early to bed , and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise!!
that is damn true..

Wow. You nailed it right there. 
Steemit has brought a lot of opportunities to people across the globe and it's only just begun. 
I hope that we  _**the backbones**_ will never stop adding value to the platform until it becomes the world's crypto powerhouse. 
Thanks for your excellent write up.

That is the one thing about Steem, despite all the flaws we have in the system, at least we have system that people **actually use**. Steem is the only Coin I ever really used minus the few times I cashed out a few hundred bucks via BTC. The rest of my Crypto investment is just hodling/ gambling on price action (long term).

I like your this post.
