I'm more of a classic libertarian, so not that dissimilar to your philosophy. But probably not wise to get into a debate about political ideologies on here if we're going to be friends! :)
I am a firm believer that any commodity or product has its price. If the big commercial interests moved in and drove the STEEM price to the moon I'd be selling and then if the platform became compromised and dominated by said commercial interests....well I'd be investing in a new grassroots platform (maybe even using the same technology) to get started.
That's the thing I love about cryptos, freedom of choice is wide so if any bad actors start buying up and trying to control it....well you just cash out and start again :)
Give it six months, we'll have you in yellow and black :)
