This is a great post. I'm a bitcoin holder myself and when I first learned of this community I thought that the use of blockchain here to be on par with what bitcoin was doing. Bitcoin disrupts the traditional monetary system. Steemit disrupts the publication/content system.
I fully agree that culture here is important and more tied to the success of the system than something like bitcoin. Culture is important in blockchain in general and education converts to adaptation. Thanks for a great post!
