@ats-david You lack the understanding of what an Open Source project is to call it a niche. 

> On 16 January 2013, GitHub announced it had passed the 3 million users mark and was then hosting more than 5 million repositories. On 23 December 2013, GitHub announced it had reached 10 million repositories.

The big part of the softwares you use in your daily life are Open Source and many more will be Open Source.  On top of that working on a niche is always advisable when heading to a huge market where the giants already own everything. Utopian does not exist anywhere else. It is a new concept targeting a huge niche and you should rethink your feedback about it, before the project itself will show you how wrong you are ;)

You lack the understanding of the words I use and the numbers you're sharing here. 

By definition, open source coders are a niche market. Based on actual social media interest, open source coding blogs and information is an extremely niche market. Your 3 million users pale in comparison to the billion+ on Facebook, and the hundreds of millions on other popular sites/apps.

Maybe you're taking things a little too personally? 

>It is a new concept targeting a huge niche and you should rethink your feedback about it, before the project itself will show you how wrong you are ;)

Cool project bro. I hope it succeeds. My opinions on delegation for it haven't changed though. There is much more widespread appeal for other topics of interest.

Perhaps users and investors around here need to decide on what type of future the blockchain has...whether it wants to focus on niche/exclusivity or mass adoption. Either one is fine, but the blockchain protocols need to better reflect that vision so that users/investors can align themselves properly.

Man I am not taking it personally and actually I was trying to be funny @ats-david. It didn't work. 

I agree with you if you compare it with generic social media platforms. The problem is that to compete with such markets you need to have the big balls that not even the entire Steem all together has. What I mean is, there is much more possibility for a niche project to succeed outside of this platform than for generic ones, simply because there is much less competition. I would focus completely on niche projects and maybe from there start thinking about trying to beat the giants.

@elear Thank you for trying to get more people to learn about open source and how much of the web we all use depends on it. Wordpress [is one of my favorite examples](https://www.forbes.com/sites/montymunford/2016/12/22/how-wordpress-ate-the-internet-in-2016-and-the-world-in-2017/#4886f6fb199d): 

> more than 409 million people view more than 23.6 billion pages each month and users produce 69.5 million new posts and 46.8 million new comments every month. It also powers more than 25% of the world's websites.

[Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/), a huge number of Google projects (including [Tensor Flow](https://www.tensorflow.org/)), and frameworks like [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/), [Angular](https://angularjs.org/), and [React](https://reactjs.org/) that power everything from Facebook to [Steemit/condenser](https://github.com/steemit/condenser), and countless other apps... all open source.
