I think, now the playing field is level, that, plus the incredible price action, we are gonna start getting a lot more busy in here... and the need to solve the scaling issues that will become acute in about 3 years with the all-in-one chain.
But the number of 'success stories' steem can show now... I just got myself back to the modern day after 4 years stuck in the 80s of technology, I have a living space, and I am making enough money from my mining and steeming that I am having this unfortunate luxury of lots of time to scheme :)
There will be a global community of creators and thinkers freed from wage slavery by Steemit. So much potential is currently kept locked up ... Steemit will set many, many people free. Good luck!
I can see my freedom on the horizon, and I'm glad to be part of this change. Welcome to Steemit, the global community of thought, value creation and value distribution.
With no middle man
Yes, I had forgotten to mention that. That's the best part. I can express myself freely and no one person can sensor me. This is an interesting time in all history.
I think it is a nodal point in the near future events. Blockchain transitions into realtime, even millisecond precise, massively distributed, massively resilient peer to peer data, query and computation services that make a little money for everyone, because of how much of a benefit it is to have such a network existing. Steem is just the sparkly point at the tip of the iceberg, and it just broke off from deep under the sea :)
