Excellent post.
I kind of found my way to Steemit by accident through Dtube.
There are several things I look for in economic markets that often indicate a healthy economic system.
-Ability to produce significant capital formations at all levels.
-Velocity of money/exchange at all levels.
-Identify constructs of chance processes that have created market capture.
Steemit, is a little different than other models I have looked at, but as an economic system it suffers in very similar ways.
This is great news to me, it means Dapps are doing what they should.
Regarding your opinion, of course I share it.
