You outlined the trouble. Something better coming along during alpha. Seems to be the problem of the day. I've seen it in video games for awhile now.
I'm not counting Steemit out for awhile, but the door is open.

Fair enough points. I do think eventually something better will come along, people tend to continually evolve in most areas. However, steem has a good position for where it is, as some call it, it has "first mover" advantage. And it already has a good dedicated active user base built up.. It will be hard for a new competitor to sweep them out from their position.. BUT.. In my opinion, what is more likely is that a major competitor like Facebook or one of them may try to offer the money incentives of some sort, allowing people to donate much easier to each other somehow.. I think that's the concern personally. They already have the massive insane user base, if they would just copy steemits strengths, I think most people would take the increased censorship of a Facebook, because it's easy.. Out of laziness basically..
I'm no expert though, maybe something else entirely will happen! It's fun to be a part of and experience this new wave of innovation though!
