I am sure that as time goes by all of these flaws will be fixed. There is higher activity day after day and it's not price driven...
I am also very optimistic about steem. And you know why? Because I find it hard to believe that in other community projects people talk so much and give their best to improve the project/coin itself.
People around here care to fix everything...and I think this is remarkable. Eventually steem will shine...and I don't give a shit what others say
