RE: My response to Acidyo's "Shitcoins" post

Hey Marky, I like STEM, my dad joined Hive because of the STEM community. He doesn't use it as much and hasn't published yet but as a Microbiologist, he really liked the idea.

My interaction with my dad made me realise that while there's a tokenised aspect of STEM, there's an immense value that can be derived from the project.

Ironically, STEM suffers something similar to DPORN, in that, there are numerous established alternatives to the very niche-based platform. So the only way you can actually trap the attention of users is to make it as similar to the Web2 platforms as possible.

For example, STEM as a community could throw in a Google login plug that makes it easier for academics to interact with publications and also mandate that individuals who publish perform some form of verification to ensure they know what they're doing. Academics like reading from verified sources and in the long run, STEM could evolve into a database/publishing centre like Researchgate. It has to start somewhere.

STEM could do with some marketing as well. Now I don't mean outright marketing that costs thousands of dollars; I mean organic social media interactions through Twitter, Facebook and the likes.

STEM could eventually liaise with universities that have a vested interest in Blockchain technology, participate in conferences about blockchain in the education sector, and stuff like that.

I've always believed that the token price or market cap is not a true measure of the value of a project. The price of STEM tokens doesn't reflect the huge potential that the project has. If you're interested, I think we can rub minds to bring more attention and eyes towards STEM.

I'm just a discord message away. belemo#9593
