Yes it's a very nice platform right now!
I try to not get too emotionally involved since anything could happen in this Crypto space. Especially when there is lots of money involved. Clearly Steemit Inc will be put to the test more this upcoming year when competitors will enter the market.
Very interesting the amount of apps that is currently being developed that is using the Blockchain. It solves so many of the issues that people have with these big monopoly companies. Don't like a team or app? Use another! And you can still use the same core Blockchain. For me it's a genius system! Since people are scared of expressing themselves on these giant networks that could silence you very easy.
But the interesting part for me in the future is how speed will affect all? Since we always crave more speed. Clearly there will be many that won't be able to keep up. Clearly the younger generation will get a major advantage especially the geek niche of people. The computer guys! But how will the others keep up? Maybe it won't be a major issue. Perhaps we could solve it by making things easier to understand.
