We are just starting to set up a business on Steem (check our blog for that) and you are adressing exactly the questions we are into at the moment. So what I can offer, is to bring in our perspective setting up a truly SOCIAL network for social impact.
Answering your quetions::
YES, these discussion forums are a good idea and worthwhile.
YES, we'll participate in most of them. Let me know, if it is interesting for you to hear about our business plans.
YES, as a newbie to Steem we'd check what we can offer afterwards to keep the process of creating a decentralized ecosystem moving.
At some point we'd love to discuss the question, how to increase the demand of STEEM in an active way compatible with the business models emerging.
Thanks for making contact. I would be very interested to talk with you?
