That's a very nice long-term vision. And quite honestly, it might be correct.
There are still many barriers to the kind of adoption that would cause the price of steem to go beyond $10/token, but that should give us a good year or two to build up a Smaugs-worth of steem ;)
For sure. But I feel like we've got enough strong hands and determined, talented enthusiasts to weather future storms and it feels like we're only now starting to gain real, sustainable, momentum (off of the July/ August bubble pop).
