I dont need to make outlandish claims.

That's not happening in a vacuum or on accident. I'm still not understanding what disruptive competitor is on the immediate horizon?
If there are none, then you should be able to concede that there will be no technical or fundamental improvements that would exponentially improve on this attention based model that could be readily copied or duplicated before Steemit reaches a critical mass.
I've been watching the momentum and trajectory since May of last year. There is no competition on the immediate horizon in the next ~3-5 years.
Yeah good for steem!
I'm not saying there is a competent competition in the air yet.
Why should I concede that there is no technical or fundamental game-theoretical problems with steem that could be improved upon? Steem very well might hit the same numbers enjoyed by both Facebook and MySpace. That doesn't mean their position can be upset.
The very fact of steem rising to popularity proves my point.
I think that Akasha and even new projects have every possibility of upsetting in the next 3-5 years
