Yeah, sometimes a wait and see is the best approach. It's important to get the fundamental terms correct first though. So many people (for years now) have not understood the distinction between Steem, STEEM, Steemit, inc, and Steemit.com let alone the intricacies of DPoS, blockchain, and cryptocurrency (or SBD, Steem Power, etc).
Best we can do now is educate people on the facts so when more information does come out, we can make educated decisions about how we, the STEEM token holding community, want to the future of the Steem blockchain to be and how that will relate to the existing Steemit brand.
Hey lukestokes, i was wondering if its possible to guide or point me in the right direction to information that breaks down the differences of steem, STEEM, and steemit. I have a very general basic understanding but would like a more detailed explanation.
will do my own due diligence, would appreciate tools you have used.
The post I linked to first is a good start.
Here's how I understand it:
STEEM: The Steem cryptocurrency
Steem: The Steem blockchain (or the code, protocol, or running mainnet, depending on context)
Steemit: One of two things:
Steemit, inc: The company who launched Steem and primarily develops the Steem protocol and owns...
Steemit.com: The primary browser of the Steem blockchain. There are many others, but most conflate Steemit.com with Steem, when really they are different. Steemit.com is just a centralized website run by a centralized company using a decentralized blockchain (of which they do happen to have a large, centralized stake of tokens which apparently they just sold to the Tron foundation).
Appreciate it, i know its just surface info but it gives me reference point of where and what to look for. This way it doesn't feel like I'm traveling down a rabbit hole.
