I want to thank @robert-call for pulling up this information and sharing it with all of us.

Each day I write about how wonderful this blockchain is.  Many think I am some kind of cheerleader who ignores "reality" with blind optimism.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  I am aware of the challenges that exist on this blockchain.  At the same time, I am also well schooled in the advancements of technology and the process they go through.  In other words, what many of you throw a fit about I look at as par for the course.  When you study technology, you realize things rarely go smoothly. 

Nevertheless, this optimism is being rewarded.  Not by the market mind you...that is still blind as can be.  

Weiss Ratings Agency is one of the most respected in the financial arena.

>Weiss Ratings, which began in 1971, is the nation’s leading independent rating agency of financial institutions. Today, Weiss Ratings assigns letter grades to about 55,000 institutions and investments, including nearly all of the nation’s insurance companies, banks, credit unions, stocks, ETFs and mutual funds.

>Unlike Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and A.M. Best, Weiss Ratings never accepts compensation of any kind from the companies or entities it rates. Its revenues are derived strictly from individual investors, consumers and other end users of its ratings.

>Weiss Ratings’ strict adherence to objectivity and independence has consistently paid off in the form of accuracy — both in warning the public of dangers and leading the public to the best returns.

This is from their website.

A few weeks ago, the agency came out with their ratings for cryptocurrency.  In that report, STEEM was at the head of the class with a B- ranking.  While the ranking sounds bad, it was the highest they gave.  At this point, since Cryptocurrency is still so new, they are holding off on the A rankings.

Well it appears things change.  While there are still no A rankings, STEEM is improving.

Did you see that?

**Steemit.com is the most successful decentralized application in existence today!!!!!!!**

How about them apples?

Perhaps Weiss suffers from the same blind optimism that I do?  They improved the STEEM ranking to a B, the only token to receive that high a placement....the ONLY token to receive that high a placement.  

The market might be a bit slow to pick up on STEEM but Weiss is not.  They understand what is taking place here.  Steemit.com is the most successful decentralized app.  

While Steemit.com garnered the attention, they did not even mention this.....

I know some are not fond of Alexa and it might not be the best barometer to go by but it does show a trend.

Notice the graph, D.tube entered the top 100K in mid December.  Today it is around 8,200.  That is incredible progress.  We all are aware that D.tube has been getting a great deal of traffic from the YouTube crowd.

By the way, do me a favor and head over to @robert-call's post about this and give it an upvote also.
