Awesome content.
@Haedre @shortcut put me up on something like this a few weeks ago, probably worth staking out; dada.nyc features a social network based on art, where artists communicate through collaborative drawing sessions, and the finished work gets sold for Ethereum on a select market.
Steemit alone could provide, but there's so much more Blockchain technology can do for just about everything, yes art is only the beginning.
In all actuality, art is where it all began.
Art is usually the first thing societies focus on after ensuring survival (food, water, shelter, etc.), I think we're there with Steem, "survival" has been worked out, so now it's time to focus on art.
It's always been art first. We draw pictograms before we turned them into letters and sounds. Every science is the study of art.
I personally see Ethereum as a first mover but unless they can overcome their bandwidth/thruput they won't be making nearly as many advancements as Steem and EOS. Of course are all welcome to pitch in, I just want to keep all the content as accessible as possible. Knowledge should be free; it's what you do with it that counts.
Thanks for the support!
