The money part of steemit is not the beauty of this startup the draws me in, I don`t have a clue as to how it works or will be changed or even perfected in the future. What I am looking at is the place to go when I start my browser as opposed to right now. 1st tab is email. 2nd is Facebook, (which I despise but that is where friends, family and customers are). 3rd tab is Craigslist, (customers in three states). 4th tab is locale swap shop. (locale customers). 5th is locale weather. After checking for anything new in those areas I check my favorite news sites, PM prices. By this time I have already looked down a few rabbit holes and time is getting precious. There are some very smart people here willing to keep building the platform. I expect to see growing pains, (watching them will make me smarter no doubt). But the potential I see here simply amazes me.
