This is really good reasoning here.
I appreciate you taking the time to put some thought into it.
I was thinking some of the same things.
I posted earlier : https://steemit.com/steemit/@mastertrader777/steemit-team-should-update-the-exchange-partners-on-steemit-io-add-poloniex-a-s-a-p
When I realized the hadn't updated their website right away, it made me think well...They are probably so busy with trying to lock down the platform they aren't even thinking about the splash page.
It leads me to some other questions....
Is Steemit looking to hire mods of some sort...or would they be better called site admins?
What if Steemit gains some credible developers to help with the work load?
We might be able to see #STEEM really make a run for the hills to truly catch #Ethereum marketcap!
