I agree the blockchain is expanding and it does seem to be on fire. It is exciting times. However I still think steemit is great. I haven't found another site that like more for posting. There is something quite solid about the platform. Although it definitely needs to come out of Beta. It is also to my knowledge the only platform running ads and this gives it more security than the other entrypoints. There is a new helmmaster at steemit too and I think she has plans to expand and improve.
Also with a fiat backbone income stream, we can bring on more newbies, one hopes soon, who can interact without having to enter into the world of crypto. This might be what we need to attract those who are skeptical. Then once they see how it works, they may be more likely to invest.
