Wait.. so you're implying that Steemit is already at risk of a disruptive competitor?
Who? Remember Yours.Network? Akasha Project still in Alpha and losing ground daily.
Steemit is approaching early adopter critical mass at this point. It has far more upward momentum.
You have it backwards. STEEM is replacing FACEBOOK as FACEBOOK replaced MYSPACE.
That is exactly what I'm saying. I don't think it will be any time soon. Akasha is doing something different, not really a direct competitor at this point.
Steem is realistically in the era of MySpace - there is every possibility to disrupt steem just as Facebook disrupted MySpace.
I have nothing backwards. Steem has nothing close to Facebook numbers.
Don't get me wrong, I am a full supporter of steem. I would just be ready to jump ship when it is time for the next big thing.
With how fast this space is moving, I think it is shortsighted to make outlandish claims about steem adoption. There will be competition.
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
