Dear @whatsup I love to find in your writing a little bit more about you and to know you, there is something I completely share and it is "loyalty" when we believe in something and we have a commitment to what we do, we create that loyal link between people. Finally those who write in steemit and create projects and new ideas are human beings, with feelings, dreams and many want to grow. That's what I found in steemit, many people trying to create content to be seen and sharing in communities to be heard. This activity, allows us to know the human being behind each publication and that creates new friendships, for example I know about you, that you like to cook listening to music and that you have fun moving the energy in positive, besides that you are loyal to your friends and that you believe in this platform, which you defend, that makes you for me, a close friend, although I do not know you and I do not know how you are physically, but your joy if it has been with us, which gives a human face to Steemit.
I would say that steemit, apart from being a Blockchane block creator, has also made it possible for her to have a human face before all the members, creating new bonds of friendship among many people in the world.
I'm still here, working little by little and trying to continue learning a little more about her. I like to read you, as a follower.
Good vibes.

That’s every interesting I checked out trybe now and heard EOS was going to  have a blogging platform but didn’t think it would be so soon! I think Steem has gone through enough of the first teething problems and those who have stuck around have invested way to much to just jump! Its going to be an interesting battle of the platforms and we’ll see who wins! I do think the SMT could be a double edged sword that makes or breaks the steem blockchain

Am certain quite a lot of steemians now use Scorum. I would have too if I had the time (I love WWE...lol). Competition is healthy, not just to make us work faster but to see how far we have come as a community

# Q's:

## What is the competition - those ones don't look any good - I'm sure there will be others, but the ones I've seen so far were pretty lackluster

## What is xaero1 - a new bot?

## I'm not scared of a Hyundai Accent Mk1 website

## but I live in terror of a new Toyota Prius website (every second car in Wellington is one of these)

In a platform as monetized as steem moat users will base their loyalties on which they can milk more. For those already massively invested in this platform, you guys unfortunately do not have that luxury. It is left to you to keep spreading the word about the awesomeness of steem and attracting more users cause you have more at stake.

I have only been here a couple of months but I already feel like a stakeholder, steem must win the competition wars

Trybe is slower than a horse stuck in molasses.

I've heard good things about Scorum,  but it isn't the sort of thing I tend to write about.   

Those are only the first two though we've still got plenty more to come.   Can they compete with Steemit? I don't think so.  Not yet.

This low price should be a blessing for long believers in Steem.

Wow, scorum is like a who's who of steemit. Or rather a who's who of steemit past. I wondered where lots of people went as there was a sudden mass exodus of older users not explained by the downturn in price.

Oh well, good luck to them!

I agree on the tide turning for content creators. For too long people (some very influential) have been dissing actual content creators. Babbling on about how unimportant we are compared to investors. Well you are starting to see it, content creators are and will be valued. If not here then elsewhere.

Today was the first time I have heard of scorum. Their coin does seem more stable than Steem. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/scorum-coins/

I didn't notice any slowness with Trybe today. I do like the Steemit setup better but for the people obsessed with the Trending page I think Trybe is better. I don't know if Trybe has a feed like Steemit has. My mini Trybe article did get approved but I don't think I have gotten any upvotes or money off of it.

Competition is always a good thing!

meh. Sports are a distraction at best.... Nothing to get worked up about, just  a few jocks drinking beer ...

How long 'til competition starts happening on a per-post basis?  One web site/app with connections to Steem & EOS & Ethereum & ... where it uses current profitability estimates to decide which chain gets the content?

Thanks for your Post @whatsup. The points you make are very sound. We knew the Competition would come. But Steemit does have a nice head start.

I will check at those two but Steem is where my heart is at. Those SMTs in January will be a game changer,imho

I hadn't heard of Scorum,  so consider me educated. I'm into other things more than sports, and only have one life, so I won't be using it. . .  

. . . unless it's like Amazon, which started with books, and everybody giggled, "Ah, it's only books, sure Barnes and Noble will struggle, but that's about it" and then one day, nobody was giggling any more cos Amazon owned every product, and every person, and every country in the whole world! :0

Who approves the articles on Trybe? Sounds overly exclusive to me. I may check that it, if I can find the time, just to find out what's going on.

"This is your wake up call, competition is coming"

This is a very good thing. Change is already in the air, good change, with Partiko and Steem-UA and different front ends, and this new competition will get developers minds spinning even faster. Let's have great things happen while we're all still alive to see them. :)

Scorum is an unfortunate name.

Scorum is not my thing at all.. sports. I enjoy doing sports, not talking about them. :D

haven't looked at trybe but the idea of getting articles approved is interesting. It should keep a higher level but, at what cost? If it is anything like some curation projects here, it is pretty well form and fit, hence the essays. Don't favoritism, culture and censorship questions get raised?

I was writing a steem love story but decided against it because it had been steem content all day..... it tends to have that effect. I love it here too.

I have never heard about Scorum or Trybe so this is more of a lesson. I am into sports but never really got the interest of blogging about sports. I feel like it's too limiting in terms of niche but I can't talk much on something I have never tried, right. Steemit for me is the online village of them all. Here we have communities with a larger community. A chance for anyone in the world to change a life on the other side of the globe. 

To Steemit 🍻

I have a Scorum account and it's great actually, in my opinion the developers of Scorum have no ideas of their own, it is a complete photocopy of Steemit. 

But it's a tiny niche.
