Is crypto-powered social network a trend?

[btcdie]

It's hard for me to compete with the king of social media like Facebook or others, to switch to crypto-powered social media. very reasonable in my opinion because the king of social media (Fb, IG, Twitter) because it is earlier and people are more comfortable using it. in my opinion can make people switch, if lured lured with money. platforms such as steemit in a particular country many do not know it or even forbid it.

You are right! Many crypto-based social network, content, marketplace platform has been launched in the last two years! But honestly I haven't found any good of it so I can move in them from facebook, twitter! With the time, all the crypto powered social network starts becoming garbage, shit or dead! This is not a trend, this is another way to make money from the ICO/IEO sale. I have decided to not invest in Music, Social network, marketplace based crypto project!

I noticed that there are quite a number of crypto-powered social media popping out in recent years. I believe the most successful one is Steemit, which most of us can agreed on. There are also other social network platforms like Appics, Uhive and etc. I am curious to know if anyone of you is willing to switch from the daily social network app like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to crypto-powered social network. And if you could, do share your reasons for doing so.

There was a lot of everything. Different projects used ICO as way of easy crowdfunding. They could do it without any regulations and there was at least in 2016 and 2017 a lot of stupid money founding those project that would never get any normal investors.

The more services and platform appear on the blockchain, the larger the community becomes. Large social networks look at this trend and understand that the future for blockchain and cryptocurrencies, and the one who first integrates innovation into his social network, will get a good profit. Facebook and Telegram are already working in this direction, and there is durgie. All this makes us understand that sooner or later social networks will use blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

The reason anyone would want to prefer a crypto powered or sponsored social media platform over the conventional types might be for the sake of crypto adoption. There are some platforms that are aimed for that and not just for the sake of profit making. Some of them do not have their indigenous tokens, rather, they reward their users with already listed tokens.

I recently created a thread in which I have a list of up to 35 platforms based on blockchain or tokenized, I hope you find the information useful.

It definitely is.

Our project D.Tube has already proved successful.
We want to mainstream crypto through video.

We're now reaching 20 k real users.


So many crypto projects raised funds, and only have... projects.
We did it the other way round, building a live product first, to be legit.

Try it and make your mind.

Mainstreaming cryptos - and video is a great media for it - will hopefully benefit to all great crypto product in the future.


We will be glad to hear from your user experience Smiley

I have seen many unsuccessful attempts to create a new better social network that would reward its users but none of them was successful. Maybe it was due to lack of trust and transparency in the project, but this could be solved by a blockchain technology, right? So I believe that Voice will achieve better results.

I have seen a lot of projects that did ICOs back in 2018 to build a social network that would be based on blockchain. I am still following those projects, but nobody has even released a prototype yet, so this field is still pretty young.

I made a thread on platforms based on blockchain or tokenized, so it would be great to have a list of projects that could come up soon.

I think they are good for the growth and spread of crypto. They will be battling it out for domination though since there are a few of them and look at facebook it is basically the only one which shows that people do not want a whole lot of different social networks but rather one or two they can find everyone on and communicate with a large audience. I hope one day there will be a place like facebook to go where you can find many many crypto users.

As much as I'd like to because it is related to crypto but I just can't. It is not that I am used to using facebook, twitter and instagram but I cannot just let go my communication to my social friends, relatives, and or family specially because they are non crypto user. On the other hand, I am still can handle such platforms even without though it is when the time of I am into crypto; doing work stuff something like that.

I don't think that it's necessarily a trend.

Steemit has been around for a long time now and we don't really see it blooming into anything major any time soon. It is way past its previous identity as one of the top altcoins, and the hype has died down very much.

I think that the reason why people used to hype up this kind of project so much is due to the fact that it generated profit for those who used it. But right now, there is no more free money to be had in crypto winter.

Steemit traffic dropped alot this year and I think it will continue to drop even more. (Source: Alexa). Steemit was paying fairly a good amount of money at the beginning plus the crypto market boomed at that time so people made alot of money. Nowadays it's not worth your time to spend on writing. This is actually problem with many incentive based promotions. One you stop paying something to the users, they will leave your project.

I am using a couple of them for the last couple years, primarily steemit, and I make a nice little extra side income from them.

Honestly, the only reason I use those sites is because of that extra little income, and imo so is the majority of the other people. So, no, they are not a "trend" at all. Remove the rewards, and the users of all these sites will go to 0 the very next day. As things are, not a single one of them has any chances of actually going mainstream. Facebook, Instagram etc all became famous because for whatever reason people actually enjoyed using them. Not because they were getting paid to use them.. Having said that, in the next months some nice changes are finally coming to Steemit, mainly communities and SMTS, which will make it a bit more like reddit and hopefully will help it spread among the masses.

On a sidenote, publish0x.com also seems to be doing really fine according to Alexa

I do not mind using such social networks,but the fact is that few people know about them.But on the other hand, there is no difference whether there is encryption in the social network or not.

Blockchain-based social media platform creation is an excellent idea. I think it fits the spirit of Blockchain.

Although Steemit was the first pioneer, he faced some problems and gradually began to lose his old importance.

In recent months, Steemit has launched a new campaign called #Newsteem, for resurrection, but I have questions about how well this campaign has gone.

Frankly, I would like people to abandon centralized social media applications like Facebook and Instagram because these companies have been repeatedly proven to steal user data, which is not pleasant.

There are too many blockchain-based social media apps around, but I think none of them sounded like Voice.com. I am looking forward to this application designed by the EOS team, which is still in the project phase.

[duuuuude]

Agree that now there is not a single crypto social network that would be at least about as convenient as the giants of the market. It seems to me at this time that few people will be able to jump over themselves and create something new and unique in this area.

I have switched from Steemit to Golos, the reason is simple because more Golos are discussing about crypto there, and in my opinion the Golos platform is more simple and easy to understand

I think Steemit has funding issues, if not why the many ads making the platform look crappie. The issue with most of these crypto social platforms is that they can't compete with mainstream centralized social platforms at the moment. Talking about VOICE by block.one , I registered for the beta version but no recent update at the moment.

Maybe they are alive but when you are tracking their histories and they were not showing good progress on the result of development. People will still confidence to use the centralized social media rather than crypto-powered social media. Why do we need move to the new platforms while almost all of our friends and families were still using centralized social media like facebook, twitter ,etc.
I'm not willing to do that, I have tried use matchpool and that was a failure project. No people had used it.

I thought that if GOLOL is available for Russian only as so many Russian are using it while others are sticking to the publish0x. I remember about the majority of the writers were moving to the medium before it was implicating a very strict regulation to the crypto content.
