I think Steemit as a site is good, I like the little UI changes that went on recently and feel a lot more could happen but no rush. I think Steem and SBD price is fairly stable for how much crazy stuff is going on with Bitcoin and many altcoins right now. Future feels good.
I'm curious with Yours.org being up if at some point Steem could ever be updated to allow for older posts to have payments allowed. Or maybe there is something in some whitepaper that explains that better on why that may not be best for Steem (I just feel for a Dtube to have full success this would be necessary).
Any specific Steemfest videos would you recommend watching for a good talk or Q&A?
The conference room 1 ones are good, especially day 2 with the fireside chat with @ned.
