Does Steemit have any healthy competitor yet?
In the last few months lots of platforms have emerged, with the same concept that Steemit brought to the blockchain 3 years back.
Sincerely I expect Steemit to already have some healthy competition. As of now, more flexible and user friendly platforms enabling social media users without prior knowledge of the blockchain earn from their ability to socialize, but from the look of things, the majority of the on-boarding platforms seem to be no more than clones of Steemit.
I read about akasha.world some months back; a decentralized social network built on the blockchain; but guess which chain??
The Ethereum blockchain of Vitalik Buterin. The founder of ETH is an advisor of Akasha, and it rewards in Ethereum. The given votes are run with micro transactions on the ETH blockchain, mining with your mind. Not to be overly critical, but we all know the Ethereum network is congested.
Akasha is still in beta testing; lets see what they have to offer: beta.akasha.world - you can check it out and tell me what you think.
I also discovered another platform on the NEO blockchain, narrative.network; this is also a decentralized reward based platform, but here you get rewarded in either crypto or traditional currencies.
And I assume we are all aware of the first blogging dapp on EOS blockchain, the ONO dapp.
The likes of weku.io, u.network, Golos, Whaleshares, Scorum?
What do you think??
How far do think they can run, and how well is Steemit doing in your opinion?!
Cheers!
