RE: Applications Now Open for the Steem Onboarding Translation and Video Team

in #steemit6 years ago

Great point @therealwolf! If we consider that STEEM as a token and steemit as a blog interface are confused 24/7, this is a great plan to have some ACTIVE marketing towards outer space (IE cryptocurrencies).

Sort:  

That's why I think steemit.com should be renamed to avoid the confusion, or a rebranding of the steem token itself.

I think that as well @inventor16. Maybe a new interface for blogging will soon be the new standard!

Exactly. It's a horrible fact that so many people confuse Steem with Steemit.com.

It took me a long time to understand that Steem does not exist just because Steemit does. When I finally figured that out, a whole buncha other stuff started making sense. I'm perpetually surprised to discover how much I still don't know so this project is making me happy in a big way. I can't wait to be able to point my friends toward the content when they ask me how to get started doing what I've been doing the last year, steeming full-time.

That's exactly how I feel too @allseeingewe. It can be overwhelming to think about spending hours with someone to explain everything - and then they never even make an introduce yourself post. I think many of us have had that experience and have gotten burnt out on inviting friends for that reason.

Thank you so much for all of your enthusiasm and support of the project!

At first it might have helped to spread the name out @therealwolf, yet the implications are huge:

  • there is (almost) no understanding of what is SP and the benefits of holding/investing in bots/curation
  • people in the crypto-universe can not see opportunity in staking SP if they are outside of Steemit, meanwhile the crypto is STEEM itself
  • There is no knowledge of Dapps or STEEM usage.

Holding SP is basically running a masternode, without fixed costs of a server/machine 24/7 online on a top 50 coin and with great return. That is something that @ned and his team needed to market hard.

Thank you for your support and encouragement of the project @bafi! We discuss this exact topic in one of the first videos people will watch to help clear up any confusion on that point.

Is there the opportunity to bring those contents into Italian too?
I'm an Italian power user and multiple sources like the Buildteam can vouche for me, as I did already do translation for minnowbooster and multiple other projects.
I'm really fluent in English and almost mother tongue in that, would love to help the project out @coruscate @anomadsoul

Thank you for reaching out via discord! It was great to chat with you about the potential of having you on board to help with Italian translation. We look forward to stay in touch and collaborating on this.

Towards infinity and beyond!
