Why do you think steem might win over Facebook or anyother social network app that currently available on the open web? What would drive the average consumer to use a PAID service if there is a free service that  already exist.

This is a fantasy, the day any altcoin will surpass any real-business... never going to happen. Stop reading into the bullshit they are telling you how they are going to go about to achieve it. It's all lies, in order to create value behind their coin.

Or you could be potentially pumping your own investment with this thread, who knows

Well, in general I see few coins they have great potential. For instance. Storage coins are offering a supiror service at a lower price than its counter cloud storage.  These I'm going to invest in because it makes sense and potentially the coin price will increase in value.

I'm not pumping any investment I have, I'm a real tiny investor who is watchful and looking for real investment opportunity not a fantasy!

I have zero steam but it's one project that I keep looking at and thinking "wow that has potential!"

I'm still no going to invest though. :)

You all have no idea how much I wish an alternative platform could compete with Facebook. My main annoyance is if you ever upset a mod you're on their sh*t list forever. Trust me. I get banned for the dumbest things. Last time any actual friend on facebook complained to me was... well over a year ago. If I want to post something dumb I go to a secret group but not even that is safe anymore. /endrant

iam choose facebook all anything do it, sample promote my product
but if earn about bitcoin steem is above facebook

It is not going to work, steem is just nothing.

steemit for today is nothing, because steemit like a new baby runs, steemit community is only filled by different crypto users with facebook first born, on one side member steemit rarely appreciate the status of others even just write "hi" but on facebook has a very high interaction of reciprocity,

Concur, no one will ever pay for a free service. 

For good features i will choose facebook because it's easy to use and register unlike steemit you need to wait for approval to get accepted and for earning money i will choose facebook too not steemit because you can earn money from facebook to by promoting your products and drive traffic to your sales, blog and youtube because so many users using facebook in whole world you can monetize your contents using your pages and sell items virtually and you can earn money too by making an app on facebook.

These cannot even compete, why do you even try to compare them? Facebook is multi billions making company. Steem is just another crypto project, incentivizing on giving opportunity to people for making money. Steem will never beat Facebook. It is good project nonetheless.

steem like a ponzi site. but it's have some value. upvote and follow great author is a great idea. But over facebook is impossible

Steem is for the people who just want to earn but doesn't want to socialize and it still lacks of many features compare to facebook.

And it's impossible in my own belief that steem will win over against it's rally with facebook though it pays per comments.

Look on how facebook is working, a lot of people depending on it daily and in steem there's a ton of work to do to compete the multi billion social media company.

Steem has the only real potential to attack Facebook and also Reddit in the global social media field. For now it has a very tiny user base, but i am watching this very cleary as a lot of successful Facebookers are starting to quit their Facebook accounts and change to Steemit.

Think about this: If you have 100k followers on Facebook, what do you get? NOTHING

If you just would have 10k followers on Steemit you propbably would easy make 50 bucks a post and even way more. So this is a conservative call.

It seems to me a absolutely logical step. The user base will switch.

Steem is free (except you should wait few weeks for registration approval), in Steem no one can edit/delete your posts.

Today it's has DTube video service based on Steem blockchain which keep video in IPFS network, more info you can read here:
https://steemit.com/video/@heimindanger/introducing-dtube-a-decentralized-video-platform-using-steem-and-ipfs
In DTube no one can edit/delete your posts and videos, like Youtube did.

Steem don't need to win over Facebook, Steem it's decentralized blockchain based censor free social network, who want can use Facebook/Youtube, who doesn't  want can use Steem/DTube.

steemit is like the remake of bitlanders.com where like a monetized social media, earning thru crypto currency but comparing it versus facebook, all i  can say is that they are far beyond compare.there's no way that sttemit can beat facebook. facebook platform has many features where steemit didn't have. steemit social media is still not a user-friendly to masses and it is not easy to gain popularity of viral posting from steemit.

Steemit is comparable with the newbium but i don't even steemit will be comparable with the Facebook with its widely adoption. I remember the first time a lot of people have heard about the steemit Project.
Steemit is different with the Facebook.

Facebook and Instagram are steamrolling every other social network.

Look at how they copied Snapchat's features.

The chances of Steemit competing with Facebook are slim. :-X

Steem's project has it's potential, and it looks unique also. But comparing it with facebook, who is already established and long running will only say that facebook is way ahead of steemit. Can steemit evolve well and rise it's value ? Of course it can,  it has potential, and they have lot's of users already.

Steemit will attack this mega centralized tech corp and hurt them soon. I am in fact planning an ICO to support Steemit in this effort. You will all soon see the awesome whitepaper ^^

Facebook is already a whale, a god in terms of social media. Steem is just a fingerling. Facebook has been acquiring more assets in terms of online business. There is no possibility for now that Steem will be able to take the top spot from facebook.

Steem never and ever can beat up facebook. look at snapchat. :D If anything good. Facebook copy that. or they use money to buy anything they like

Yes, if Facebook copy Steam and start paying all revenue to users according their contribution he will become new Steam and win the battle.  ;)

No, it cannot take place of any social network because it is completely different from facebook, instagram or snapchat but matchpool project can do it.

How could steam defeat facebook? while facebook is used by billions of users globally and the users of it consist of crypto and other offline business users and it gets billions or shall we say trillions of dollars revenue for their running and I don't think steam owner does that. And thats the reason why I don't think steam is much better than facebook since the only good thing happening on steam is there upvote features.

Big companies like FB always realize innovation of competitors, as it was with Periscope and each other, so they will be at first positions very long term.

Steem it's blockchain based system like Bitcoin and doesn't have owners.
Bitcoin use mining for new coin distribution - Steem use blogging, in Steem - blogging it's a mining.

 ;D steem will over tumblr. that maybe. but facebook. it's will never even in my wildest dream!

 8) fun thing I ever seen. steem is just like other coin, other blockchain. it's hard to grow up

The real competitor to steem and steemit is Yours.org. Steemit pays with it's own currency (steem), whereas yours pays with litecoin and bitcoin. And Yours requires you to purchase some coins first before you can tip etc, whereas steem simply allocates money from the next 24 hours in the blockchain.

I've noticed the founder of Yours getting a lot of publicity on shows like letstalkbitcoin, but it remains to be seen whether they can make a tipping platform work (it's been tried before and has failed). The genius of Steemit is that when you are upvoting you arn't giving your own money, just allocating from a common pool on the blockchain.

Steem needn't beat Facebook, i guess. real opponents may be Tumblr, WordPress, etc.

may also be said like that because now is not easy to find a job and how often in use one of them is trying to find free from various other sites so that it can add income either big or small but the important thing can make us be happy.

Facebook doesn't need invest anything. steem if u do not invest. how worth of ur up vote??? 0.000001$... part-time work pay better!

Steem has his niche and is growing fast, at least you get an incentive to produce great content on the platform. Facebook keeps all the money and you receive nothing for the hours you spend reading, comment, and share!

Both will coexist, but I predict Facebook to decline in number in users!

Steemit is entirely different thing. Facebook is platform for communication with friends, Steemit is more like blogging portal, but maybe in the future?

Steem is definately not going to surpass facebook. However there is one coin, BAT, that may surpass google chrome or firefox with the passage of time.

Yep sure ! That is one of the most pertinent advise.

sure, Die reddit, die others stuffs

opportunity will let people to choose what platform they will use and the big advantage of facebook you can do everything inside unlike steem that the only way
is to be creative so you can get a lot of followers and upvotes unlike fb that in any network you will be able to showcase a business and that's how far fb from steem.

Just as usual. These kind of fantasy assumptions cant really be avoided on this cryptoworld and fuds and shills would really be read anywhere on this forum just to hype it out. You are right, its really impossible for any altcoin based projects would surpassed any big business outside.Talking about facebook its big and wont easily flop and been surpassed by some new project on the air.

Steemit subscription is free but if you want some audience, you have to buy some steem power. By buying steem token (or steem power) you became shareowner of the steemit project in a way. I’ve got an account, I’m posting on it (in French) about cryptocurrencies, but I’m a bit skeptical about this social network and here is why :
- It’s hard to get a real audience around your posts and content. You have to buy a lot of steem power (or be followed by a lot of people) to earn some money. My last post brought me 0.03$. You have to spend a lot of time to gather a real community around your purpose. It could be a waste of time.
- Steemit tries to promote quality content, but there as elsewhere, the girl showing her big boobs will get more “likes” and followers than you who have spent 3 days writing a long feature article on an interesting subject.
- Steemit is hard to understand. My friend and I have spent a lot of time reading how it works, and discuss to understand everything. But we are still lost about some obscures points… I think people are too lazy to try to understand steemit’s complexity.
- Steemit is austere. You easily get lost in the interface. It’s a struggle to write an article with the editing tools in markdown and so on.

For all these reasons, I think facebook still has a bright future. (And I don't like it).

ya :D that my idea too. Steemit maybe the same with reddit. but with facebook steemit is just a little child

Facebook is way more complicated and totally marketing dependent.

Steemit maybe complicated in the start to understand the 3 intern currencies, but trust me its the future ^^

Never heard about Steem, so I went google it, after I saw this post. Although the project looks interesting I think it will fail because of the community it will attract. On facebook, users share posts and photos etc because they want to, and because of the status it offers them. Some like to connect, online, and most will probably just want to brag about their achievings and get more popular. I don't say this in a bad way, I guess it's just something humans have (some more than others), but we all like attention.

As for Steem, people won't really go for those things. They will get probably more attracted by the possibility of making some money, and will probably not even care about anyone's posts etc, so I guess it will never work as Facebook does. It might be ok for advertising etc, if it ever gets a big audience, but I doubt it will ever be an alternative to Facebook.

I choose facebook just for me more users than facebook rather than steemit if advertising a coin on facebook is easy to identify a coin especially if your investment is steemit good support background that a coin is the advantage to steemit the blogger it just earns

I think facebook will win. because facebook is better known and more familiar with everyone. although steem has a free feature that is not owned facebook, but here we see from the consumer interest. and we can see that many people who prefer facebook though have to pay.

I think of steem as being more like Reddit than Facebook.  I assumed they named it steemit to sound like Reddit.  I do like the idea being paid for great posts, and it may someday gain popularity as a Reddit like forum, but I can't see it being like Facebook or competing for the social media one liners and photo sharing.

Steem has some good features and will have its niche, but it will never compete with FB. That does not mean it won't be successful. You don't have to be as big as FB to be a success.

If I'm better facebook because the communication tool is very smooth ,, may not know if others because people's thinking is different.

Facebook only lives from selling ads. Anyone read the latest analysis about Facebook and Alphabet ads bots? Only a tiny part of the klicks on facebook and google ads are done by humans. Facebook and google coded automatic bots who generate the traffic on their sites to make it look like a lot of potential costumers got to your webpage by facebook. Some companies already found that out and are now starting to slash their marketing exposures on facebook and google ads. So what would you think if they find out the company growth the same without facebook and google ads?? lol

Anybody that has a legitimate chance to compete with facebook has to completely re-contextualize the way social media integrates into our daily lives. And they must do it in a proprietary manner.

Snapchat almost did it, facebook stole all their good ideas and integrated them into its acquired instagram then Zuckerberg preceded to smear its ceo across all media outlets.
Steem isn't going to be able to compete in any way. 

The guys at Ethereum seem to think Steem is garbage. We'll see how right they are or if they are just haters.

Steemit is a tremendous platform, especially for the crypto lover.

Facebook has jumped the shark.

I think steem and facebook have different fans and people join into both is because different purpose. i think steem is micro blogging like blogger, wordpress and else which can share our activity and the others. facebook is social media like instagram, badoo, and else which we can upload and share directly from our cellphone or our computer. maybe they use paid service is because they want something different than the free one and they want to increase ability on their account. but I don't know exactly because I am a free user in that two sites.

Its true that Steemit and Facebook have different efforts and use cases, but social media is a ever evolving field and no one can just sit and wait, not even Facebook. I am very positive regarding Steemit and the fight against global centralized monopoly tech corps.
