Good point.
The best blockchain is one that people don't realize exists.
I find myself posting and engaging on Steem, but consuming on Reddit. I like Steems potential and user engagement compared to reddit, but dislike it's lack of content.

Exactly, sometimes we need to look at the efficiency and consumer joy and satisfaction deprived from the blockchain, exactly as Jeff focused on certainty and not fancy or what would be internet worthy then the Amazon history wouldn't even be a prerequisite for what we mean today. We can't keep stressing that only time will make steem better, but some people just wants that perfection before they consider steem a prospect, which is totally lackadaisical and disheartening.

Always motivating man! So many stepped on Steem in the past, it's still here and stronger than ever.

Video plays perfectly. One thing I would like to see on 3speak is being able to speed up the video.

Voice is having a similar content like STEEM have but we will might be get voice token of it. I don't know that will be tradable on which exchange later on or something like that.
And thing is going on with voice is they have some restriction in crypto space that they will not allow any bot spam something LIKE that let's see how it will be work later on.
Upvote and resteemit done sir..

> user experience first

Fully agree! This is why [I moved away from steemit.com to steempeak.com](https://steemit.com/steempeak/@arcange/i-m-leaving-steemit-com-welcome-steempeak-com).

This is also why I'm using a tool like [SteemReply](https://steemreply.com) to engage with users (introduction post [here](https://steemit.com/steemreply/@arcange/introducing-steemreply-stay-in-touch-with-your-steem-network)). BTW, I would really love to see this tool merge into existing front-ends to avoid jumping from one site to another.

Extremely well stated, love that you referenced that interview! I have been saying the same damn thing since landing here, the simplest providing the most functionality will be the successor!

OMG yessiree. Someone needs to tell the architects of EIP this. The problem isn't with financial incentives, it's that Steem is not easy for the average user. There aren't enough people on here and most people don't care if their 1 penny vote gives them back half a penny or a quarter penny. And ultimately, that's what steem should be like. 

Folks should stop trying to make the system different and instead make the experience better.

exactly keep focusing on the user experience until youve blurred the lines so much that they dont even know that they are using blockchain in the first place then you have a winner

Blockchain SHMINERCHAIN is the believe in terms of yes. I think so that's whay all the steemian are here to do a great things with it. And hope for the best in next coming years.

That is right you have said here man.

It is another thing for a platform to be great, it is another thing for it to be in  simple form for its user to understand and have a better experienced. Not  complicated one

Indeed, it has become fancy to just add blockchain to everything without thinking of the customer. But i guess 2018 saw a lot of those projects die out and hopefully we're left with ones that actually make sense.

Always keep the user experience in mind. May you fully enjoy the project in which you are. We must see him pleased. That's the first thing to keep in mind. I love steem and I feel very good and I want to see it even better. Thank you for showing us this excellent publication where users like me learn a lot every day. A big hug.

its where all the application maker fails most of the time user experience is something to focus on

That's what I'm going to do when this bull market really takes off to try and be more antifragile in my decisions regarding crypto.
effectively by virtue of making money no matter which project I’m on
Of course, I have read Black Swan and it has certainly shaped how I think about investment today. I believe that it must be a medium term,

Great interview from Besos. 

Dan I was wondering why don't first use 3speak as a livestream platform. Then transition to add video. This will bring you a larger userbase early on. Right now you are competing with Dtube which is harder.

Hi @theycallmedan,
You hit on an important point, that few with the ability to change the user experience seem to understand. Large numbers of People stopped going to shopping malls for holiday shopping not because Amazon was the most sophisticated online retailer of its day, but they did so because it was easy. Amazon gift wrapped your presents and delivered them with a card from you. And if you didn’t like something for practically any reason, you returned it for a full refund and Amazon paid the shipping. In the words of Jeff Bezos whom  you quote it’s the customer experience and customer service which lead to wide spread adoption. 

Steemit has taken strides or shall I say was founded with unique ideas which still make it stand out, starting with the account names being names and all the passwords for security. Steemit has s great system to make the adoption of the platform easier then the others. But even thought Steemit is far ahead of many of its competitors in the friendliness of its graphic user interface, the learning curve here is still very steep and it’s a constant deterrent to mass adoption.

We need to stop comparing ourselves to competitors with far worse graphic user interfaces and compare us to widely adopted platforms and build a graphic user interface that a child could figure out and then we will see our number of users swell. 

Shortsegments

Well said. Sometimes it seems like companies use the term blockchain as a buzzword. 

"What's trendy right now?"

"Umm blockchain?"

"Yes! Perfect. Let's add one to our business."

"Do we need one? I mean will it have a purpose?" 

"Well no. But we can market the shit out if it."

"Great! Let's do it."

Agreed Dan

Yeah I love it

Posted using [Partiko Android](https://partiko.app/referral/blaogao)

So glad I started using steempeak, the ability to write post and save them to bookmarks a much needed addition to the platform 👍🤗

its true,

if steem is super easy to use, people will use it.

it should be 100% intuitive. Like a 4 years old with an i phone. They know without a toturial how to use.

Thats what we need and patience.

I find myself in this moment satisfied and happy from the first day that I took the step of belonging and moving to steemit, a place that has become strong and with a great potecial to continue betting to see good profits in the future soon.

In my country (Venezuela) because of the economic crisis that many Venezuelans experience, including taking advantage of the profits we get from stemit to solve some things in our homes.

At this moment I am happy and satisfied with the application currently and even more so for what comes in the future.

@theycallmedan, The base will become big thing because **Users** are the ultimate market makers. One thing is important and that is don't focus too much about what will happen because**it will happen anyway**.

Steem can shine two ways most importantly and those aspects are **Tokenization** and **Dapps**. Different communities can educate themselves about the power of Blockchain and they will develop their communities and then they have opportunity to monetise their community and this way we will going to see **Tree Of Communities** which are **Decentralised** and **Transparent** with **Blockchain Technology**.

As you said Applications (Dapps), definitely will be a game changer, specially Mobile applications because if we see and observe then world is adopting more flexibility and Mobile Industries are trying to put everything in it, so it's vital to keep Android Applications on the list of development because otherwise adoption rate will crawl.

Have a wonderful time ahead brother and stay blessed.
