Steem can be a solution to micropayments. But it'll take sometime I believe. Steem needs to grow bigger as a community, adoption. From then on, a stability in SD and STEEM itself will be another concern. But at the moment, it seems like STEEM will be able to last for the longhaul. Most popular altcoins nowadays have their different uses. Steemit is definitely something more than a 'reddit' like social media blockchain, it will be the first step in making STEEM grow, and I look forward to more developments.

Nice post as always @hisnameisolllie (:
