In 5 years, if @ned is right and there are 100,000 entrepreneurs on here, most of what we need will come from businesses on this blockchain.
This is a very exciting thought! Especially if SMT's become what everyone is crossing their fingers and hoping they will be lol
But seriously, the future is bright for Steem but like you said, this is the new internet. The 'blockchain' is going to change so much. Just glad we're all here now to witness and be a part of it :)
We are in the very early stages...it is going to be incredible to watch things unfold over the next couple of years.
People are going to be truly amazed what takes place. In 5 years we will be baffled that we ever did things any other way. People will not even notice how much STEEM entered into their lives.
