One of the things I noticed when I first started researching Steem as an investment candidate was checking out the “Github” webpages to see how much development was occurring on the Steem blockchain. GitHub is a place where developers post the software code for projects they are working on which are “ open source”. These allows collaboration and it allows people to borrow your code to create similar programs. For example the source code for the cryptocurrency Dash is open source, do the developers of the cryptocurrency project called Desire used the dash source code fir their blockchain project. I decided that one of the things which is special about Steem is the large number of software programmers and software writers I found active on the Steem blockchain.
If you check out the “Github” of most crypto currencies your lucky if you find one developer whose actively working on the base code for the Blockchain and luckier still if you see 2-3 entries of software developer activities per month. In contrast Steem has hundreds of developers working on applications to run on this blockchain.
The next thing I looked at was blockchain applications. One of the thing which makes Etherium special is it’s block chain allows developers to utilize smart contracts on the Etherium Blockchain for commerce. Steem also has hundreds of applications created by software developers to use the Steem block chain for commerce. In fact, there are over 400 applications on the Steem Blockchain!
Steemit is the most popular with more than one million registered accounts.
If you go to the Steem Projects website you will find a listing of Steem blockchain applications organized by categories! At the time I wrote this article there were 422 decentralized applications on the Steem Blockchain. You can verify this yourself by going to the Steem Blockchain projects website at this link👉

Examples
One such category is wallets. There are five wallet DAPPS on the Steem Blockchain.
When Steemit releases Smart Media Tokens this concept will evolve into a more advanced and more capable entity. The Steem block chain can be compared to the famous comic book mutants. Whereas those people are more advanced evolved humans, Steem is a more advanced evolved block chain. But an important difference is that those people or mutants are charactorized by a single mutation which is advantageous and they can only evolve once in their lifetime. Steem in contrast is a continuously evolving entity, so the number of mutations is limitless. I truly believe that the Steem blockchain is amazing. !
