Awesome post, I also have some solid faith long term. However as usual steemit has issues because of the ridiculous scam premine they held. This has been nothing but an ongoing recurring issue here since the beginning. However that being said it's also been getting progressively better since day one. Correct steps have been taken and steemit is doing better and better.
Still doesn't change the fact a lot of these Hf's have been the result of that first scammy premine that happened. If I could change one thing about steemit it would be how the damn tokens were distributed.
