I believe that if synereo gets off the ground there will be a fight for minnows. Whoever has most minnows will win. Synereo says they will pay minnows to get content into their feed. Steemit could respond by paying for comments and votes but the design of the two gives synereo an edge. Steemits edge is simplicity, resistant to ads.
I can't wait to see what new features the fight for minnows entails.
