Maybe. But remember that Steem is registered trademark, so "Steem Classic" can be "Meths" :P
In my opinion, the problem is that STINC has a huge impact on the network. Firstly - in 90% of cases people use "Steemit", secondly - it employs developers, thirdly - it has so many tokens that it can destroy Steem.
For those who will be taking "Steem.DAO" - Good luck. You'll need it.
IIRC, Steemit is a registered trademark but Steem is fair game. I vaguely remember a post from either @ned or @steemitblog to that effect at the time when they switched from blue to green and introduced the Steemit logo.
It's how I remember it as well :-)
Damn, maybe it was just the three-swooshes logo that was fair game.
I think Steemit is a 'protected' name, is Steem as well? STEEM isn't if I'm right?
See? This is why I always want to SCREAM if people use Steem, Steemit, STEEM as if they can replace one another :')
We'll see, I'm going to listen to the AMA first. Not a fan of Justin Sun, but we gotta get our information somewhere :-)
