In his book, professional wrestler Chris Jericho talked about his experience jumping ship from WCW to WWF during the 1990s where the two pro wrestling titans were going head to head.

He said that WCW - due to its unorganized mismanagement - was like living in black and white, and as soon as took his first steps into the WWF in 1999, it was like he saw in color for the first time.

This was my first feeling when I first checked out Scorum after two years on Steemit.

Notifications! A site layout that doesn't look like it's from 1997! A community that engages!

It's as if things made sense for the first time.

After making my first post here and checking out some posts by other users, going back to my Steemit profile truly was a dreadful experience. I'll still use the blog since I do like to write about other stuff than just sports - and I do have my follower base there - but this experience sure has shown me just how much Steemit lacks.

I'm still going through the process of planning some Scorum exclusive blogging concepts, mostly wrestling and MMA related. I'm personally a big fan of doing serialized stuff, as opposed to more one-off blogging.

So look forward to stuff like that.

I will say that it's been surprisingly easy for me to find stuff worth reading here. The network is still young, of course, so I hope the incentives are there for all members to keep this a quality a platform, and not let it slip.

Cryptocurrency skeptics tend to always lay down the claim that blockchains don't have any real world use cases, and are therefore simple fluff for the sake of. Empty jargon planned to wow, and little else.

I think platforms such as these are among the very best use cases for blockchain technology. And when you combine this with something as immensely popular and mainstream as sports - in every corner of the world - it's actually lighting a fire in the heart of someone like me who lost his hope and joy a long time ago already.

And mind you: I'm not a fanboy. Of anything, ever. I don't give empty praise for the sake of. If I have something to say, criticize, or nitpick - I will. It's just that, thus far, I've liked what I've seen.

As a wrestling fan, I've always been the type of fan who loves to do number crunching. And what I mean by that, is that I'm the one overanalyzing stuff like TV ratings and PPV buyrates. Trying to see why certain numbers happened, or didn't happen.

I've looked into the world of TV a lot as a result, and something I learned a long time ago is that you need to have a clear demographic for your product; if you try to appeal to everyone, you won't appeal to anyone.

In the world of entertainment, when trying to appeal to everyone, the end result is this boring and uninspiring glass of warm water that ends up being rejected by everybody that your product comes across.

You need to pick an audience, and work on it.

That's why I believe Scorum has a brighter future ahead of it than Steemit, honestly. Scorum already has an identity.

And my experience with the platform thus far has been similar to Chris Jericho's experience with jumping ship from WCW to WWF:

I now see in color!

Thanks for reading.
