**Thoughts on the Future of Steem**
I bought more Steem this week and put more work into my engagement goals. Some people asked me what I thought of Steemit’s future. I told them that based on the research I had done I believed we were entering a new technological age similar to the big move to the internet. I wrote these articles and I think they cumulatively show that there’s a very big change taking place where people can buy everyday good like good and clothing with cryptocurrencies.
Additionally, importantly technologies and businesses like Coinbase, Shapeshifter and other business intermediaries are developing programs which allow the process to be as easy as buying things from Amazon. In fact Amazon recently announced the creation of their own blockchain. I think these are historical times we are living in and I am planning to keep accumulating Steem during this bear market.
