RE: ESTEEM: The Real Reason Steem Was Invented And Why You're Not Earning Rewards
Words are so funny..I love looking up etymologies! They stick around such a long time..I had no idea that Esteem was the origin of Steem! Pretty interesting :P That tricky Dan...! I always imagined it was a cutesy way of saying 'Steam', like the pressure that builds up and powers something. I like the Esteem image much better!
Dan doesn't create cutesy solutions.
Before counting the several development teams, the other hundreds and thousands of contributors to Steemit, there is a team of 32+ dedicated individuals including 20+ developers on steemit.com and Steem, the blockchain. Beyond that, a remaining founding team of four. I find some of this post rather disservicing to the brilliant minds we have on the team today; I can't look back and agree for one second with some of the statements made above. The origination, design and the best on Steem yet to come has been born from the teammates we have here today. I hope you'll attribute the accomplishments to the team that has actually designed, built and continues to build it with our mission in mind of actually delivering this platform all the way through.
You did come up with the name Steem which was the root of this article. Far better than the WebClout name I pitched you when you came to visit early 2016 and I asked you to be CEO of this company / project.
Naming was a team effort, Ben came up with the proposal for the name WebClout, and I recall your later proposal in the Lefty's parking lot for Peanuts and its catch phrase, "we're making peanuts"; a catchy name actually. We had some good laughs those days.
I have added this in the article. In fact, I would love it if you could write a genesis story for everyone here. Many people don't know this story, including myself. IF you have further edits on this article, please forward it to me and I will add it. I would guess I have many details left out.

Good afternoon @dan
I hope today finds you well. My name is Jane, and I have contacted @stellabelle via the Steemit.chat application in regards to this post. Seeing as I believe this to be relevant to the conversation here, and the mission statement of Steemit, I would love to invite you to be a guest on Monday Night Minnow School, a radio program on MSP Waves radio network, to speak to our listeners. Monday Night Minnow School is hosted by @sircork on Monday evenings, 7PM CST/8PM EST at mspwaves.com. We would be truly grateful if you would consider accepting this invitation to speak with @sircork and to minnow listeners about Steemit. Please contact myself if you are interested, and I will put you into contact with @globocop and @sircork on Discord. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to hearing your reply. Have a wonderful afternoon!! Thanks again for consideration.
(and I do appreciate @stellabelle, for letting me jump in here? I apologize if this correspondence was done via incorrect channels. Thank you!!!!)
Jeesh, Webclout sounds like a mix of cleft palette and some kind of prion disease in the brain. Thank goodness for @ned creating Steem.
I have fixed it in the post.
Nice team work everyone. I am happy to see that you are still active members on this website.
I visited many of the whales' pages (known them from steemdown.com) but many of them didn't even make a single post since they joined. So I thought they may be part of the founders team of steemit.
Thanks again for your efforts. Please keep up the good work and updates.
Thanks for this clarification. I doubt if anyone knows this detail.
Unfortunately, this was a missed opportunity to partner with the American Red Cross and blood banks to form a "WebClot" initiative. You could have had an ICO for the new "bloodchain".
I understand your point in highlighting the current team working behind Steem. Hat's off to the work that you and your team is accomplishing.
I know Steem is very dear to Stella and her blog is a pretty clear testament to that.
And I enjoyed this post and the spirit of it like many did and in noway did I see it has disservicing the current people working on Steem on the contrary.
I always assumed it was a double pun; "steam" for the idea of power building up and "esteem" for the idea of people holding each other in higher and higher esteem as we all grow together lol
