This gotta be one of the most interesting posts i've read in a while.
I see steem (and steemit) as a "first time user" kind of crypto. Is the one the people could use right on the spot, trough a process that seems natural and inviting, as it is social networking.
But it is SO much more. Its technical capacities are not even barely exploted yet. Also, the REAL potential of this platform and the way it can actually impact the real world, imho, is their social potential.
The way it has to be social is key. This way, a number of social projects can actually be powered by it. Humanitarian projects, ecology projects, educational projects...
I sense steem will find its way trough this vision. A real revolutionary crypto, technically superb, easy to access and empowered by social movements.
That idea alone blows my mind.
