To be honest, I don't know who you are because I don't watch TV at all. You seem like cool dude. Like what you said at the end...We are the gatekeepers. Destroy the gates.
It is good that someone famous is presenting Steemit in good light because this platform deserve it. Yes, there is much to improve, but idea about monetization with cryptocurrencie produced by platform is brilliant and should be supported.
Welcome!
And one more thing...People like you will probably raise price of Steem on crypto market. Just don't make runaway with BakerSteem crypto like Bitcoin Cash did LOL
