every person who gets steem is in fact an owner of a company.
Thats exactly how Steem is designed to be. It's weird to think it that way and so it's true that even the latest-gen users will need a rewire in mindset to wrap their heads around it.
I'm very optimistic of Steem and its platform. I'll not only watch it closely but aims to participate meaningfully and be among the early adopters.
Afterall, Alexa data shows that steemit only penetrates about 0.00012% of Internet users.
Those numbers can be easily blown up
I'm very optimistic as well. Yeah it is a shift but I feel a good one :)
