Steem's emulators aren't Steem. Our community has arisen over four years from the original paradigm evolution Steem created.

Tokens are no different from those other chains. This community is unique, and the source of Steem token value.

Before the latest drama, that value was around $60 million (total market value) with only a couple thousand active users. That doesn't sound like a lot of real world value?

You horribly misunderstand the value of society. You neglect that society is proceless, and it's economy is not the purpose of it. The value of the economy is but a fraction of the value of society, and this retarded misapprehension of value is what has been killing Steem for years.

Every time some tweak was undertaken to fix the economic woes, the society was further devalued in favor of the economy, diminishing the society that creates the economy, and thus diminishing the economy.

Mike Tyson once said that Don King would sell his momma for a dollar. Steem keeps making the Don King move, and that destroys society, which destroys the economy. After you sell your momma for a dollar, your momma's not worth a plug nickel - and neither are you.
