How To Exchange Your Steem

As many are cashing out of Steemit and moving to Hive, the Godex.io Exchange Tool is an easy way to exchange your Steem for Hive or many other cryptocurrencies. The Bittrex Steem Wallet has been down for maintenance for weeks so I’ve not been able to send and sell Steem at Bittrex.

The process is very simple. Enter the currency you are exchanging and the cryptocurrency you wish to receive. You will be prompted to enter your receiving wallet address. You will then be given a name to send the Steem to and a number to include in the memo. Stay on the site until your deposit and exchange is confirmed. I have found this one of the easiest ways to exchange one cryptocurrency for another.

Market is Red: Steem is in the Green

As the market turns red, Steem is in the green. Once again, the price of Steem has gone up. In spite of all of the drama surrounding Steem and Steemit, the price of Steem is up today. Could it be that any press is good press? I know we have some new exchanges adding Steem which is a good sign and long overdue. I am also seeing more mentions on Twitter than ever before. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen, but the market seems to like it.

Understanding The Steemit/ Tron Controversy

I’ve been promoting the Steem Blockchain for several years. As a result of that, I’m getting many questions from followers concerning the Steemit Tron controversy. I think this video with Steemit witness, Luke Stokes does a great job of explaining many aspects of Steemit and the latest news surrounding the purchase of Steemit by Justin Tron.

The interview covers many subjects including the fact that Steemit was purchased by Sun, but the Steem blockchain can not be purchased. The role of the witnesses in protecting the blockchain is also discussed.

Perhaps one of the best lessons of this entire experience is to get your crypto off of the exchanges. If you do not control your keys, you do not control your crypto.

Google Trends For Steemit and Tron

Google Trends For Steem and Tron

While the future path of Steemit remains somewhat uncertain, some facts are undeniable. The graph above shows Google Trends according to keyword during the past 90 days. This particular graph depicts the trends worldwide.

I entered the following keywords Steem, Tron, Steemit, and Justin Sun. As you can see both Steem and Steemit are almost flatlined. Tron, however is trending much higher. One could argue that Steemit is an active community and people do not need to Google it, but if growth is our goal we want to see Google Trends trending higher. I know many details need to be discussed, but I think we can all agree that Steemit and Steem will receive increased attention during the next few months due to the acquisition of Steemit by Justin Sun.

I hope this increased attention will include the many Steem projects such as Steemhunt, 3Speak, Steempress, Dtube, Splinterlands, Appics, Esteem, Busy and the communities that Steemit has spent years in developing. I also think it is a plus that many of the Tron dapps are gambling and gaming dapps much different from many of the Steemit projects. Steemit has many positives and now we have the spotlight to show the world. I’m sure I’ve left out many Steem projects. Please share your favorites in the comments.
