The problem as I see it (and have posted on before) is that it is evident that the creation of Steem was not for the Steemit platform. This is little more than a demo for them for the real drive behind all of this for them, those who will build apps and use SMT's to fund projects. I had entertained the idea of writing a short book on Steemit to use as a funnel, but in good conscience I can't bring myself to do it. I believe that the time for this aspect of Steem is dwindling. I may be wrong, but I expect if they achieve what they are after with the SMT/App market they will kill this site. They take a lot of shit (because they don't put the effort in that a primary concern would garner) and I imagine at times they hate this site and those who are angry with them calling them out of name etc.
I assume Busy or someone else who understands (unlike Busy) people trusting you with keys to wallets wan't some information on who you are and how to track you down (or the authorities) if you are careless or worse, criminal with those access keys will replace Steemit.
However, it does not escape me that with the math that will change if Steem explodes in value might alter the dynamics possible in a system such as this, as well as dwindling inflation over the years. We are (in my opinion) in a moment of opportunity that may never come again. But probably smart to prepare for these days of opportunity to slowly fade away as they close in on their goals.
According to my source, busy.org currently receives less than 10% of the traffic that Steemit.com receives and Steempeak isn't even tracked yet because it's figures are so low. I used Steemit.com as a guide because it still has the highest traffic of the Steem based sites AFAIK. Steemit.com may well die as it is replaced with better platforms, but for now it's traffic levels are relevant.
It always amazes me how the few people who use Busy and Steempeak always make out their platforms are killing Steemit. But they both have totally unusable feeds with no option of a line feed, so I'm not surprised so few people use them.
I prefer the stempeak layout for feeds, but sure, a compact version would also be good.
