One of our most recent interviews!
See the original article below:
Josh Sigurdson talks with analyst Stephen Kendal out of Manchester, UK regarding the incredible leaps and bounds we've seen recently on the cryptocurrency social media platform Steemit.
Steemit is a social media much like Facebook, Twitter or Reddit where you can post what you would on other sites, but instead, make money off your posts. It all depends on the upvote and the upvoter. You gain Steem, the cryptocurrency and SBD the token. You can trade your SBD (Steem Backed Dollars) into Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies if you wish.
Lately SBD has been skyrocketing for no good reason other than people accidentally investing in SBD rather than Steem which is weird as SBD is supposed to be tied to the US dollar as a dollar each but has climbed to around $12 recently.
All the same, we are seeing Steem skyrocket and as Stephen Kendal says, he wouldn't be surprised to see it hit $20 USD from its current price around $2. A year ago it was around 7 cents!
With smart media tokens coming out and the vast censorship seen on social medias across the board, Steemit stands to be the future of social media, on the blockchain!
Stephen has been doing presentations on Steemit for quite some time now and even had a slot at the London Investors Show. He was asked back to do a live webinar recently and it's garnering a lot of attention.
Of course Steem was the brainchild of none other than Dan Larimer of EOS and BitShares. His innovative mind has created some of the most useful and futuristic ideas on the blockchain.
Mr. Kendal also broke down his thoughts on the recent rally of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and where he sees this evolution of cryptocurrency going next.
Stay tuned for more from WAM!

not only mainstream social media is going to be changed. @dtube, @zappl, @steepshot and the other decentralized platforms are perfect. #blockchain is going to change all the systems. it's just trailer of blockchain. 😎

Yeah I can't wait until everyone leaves YouTube and migrates over to here. Those a-holes de-monetize all my videos simply because they're political. They're factual and just honest discussion but they still de-monetize them!...grrr
That would be sick. I actually have an article with a similar sentiment if you would like feel free to check it out.

Awesome writing ! And so damn spot on. So much said in so little words man. I resteemed it...;)
You are very kind I greatly appreciate your sentiment. Thank you so much for the comment have a Merry Christmas and a stellar 2018!
Traditional social media is making money from our time and we are getting nothing. It will end eventually.
Correct but it will take a brave group of people to start sites like d-tube offering a marketplace of content as well as steem it but theres always the larger users it would be nice if the site had a way to see more content that is not limited to the three categories but i will admit the 0.75 we made on this site has been more than the 0.18 cents we made on You tube with 500 views maybe if your a early adopter and the platform pops it will prove to be fruitful over time.
The cryptocurrency is going on in the whole world.
It will take some big name endorsements, some "celebrity" participants... or what is it called... "influencers" to ratchet steemit up... or it might just always be an enclave of a few million geeks, either way, as long as the block basis is sound / peace
Soon other social media users will transfer to Steemit. With the invitation from Steemians in fb, twitter and IG, there will be a flock this 2018.
Thank you for sharing this @joshsigurdson ! Resteemed.
How glad will I be for Fb users to join steemit,all what they are required to do is read, post, comment and upvote to earn cash to your pocket
I actually really like the positive types of folks we have. How many pet videos and relationship difficulties can we handle...ha ha just kidding. I actually have an article with a similar sentiment if you would like feel free to check it out.

thank you friends for sharing this information.
Great work
Steemit and DTube in a couple year, will be bigger than youtube of facebook, take my word!
Yeah, I'm pretty excited about this platform. It should be possible to create good communities where the community itself benefits, as long as the incentives are structured the right way.
I wonder though. Isn't Kushner tied to some of these unsavory Zuckerberg's?
Ha like the comments here good points. I have an article with a similar sentiment if you would like feel free to check it out.

He has his money. And the big boys don't care if the name of the game is Steem or Zucker. They will like the addiction even better.
Yeah absolute power corrupts absolutely. I have an article with a similar sentiment if you would like feel free to check it out.
