@luzcypher I think the problem is a bit deeper than that. I'm not certain we have really defined what Steemit is or what Steemit will evolve into. It's not even clear if Dash would be considered to be a STEEM competitor, because no clear definition of what Steemit is, what problem it will solve or market it will serve has even been addressed.

Is it a microblogging platform? Is it a social network? Is it a remittance network?

The sell for STEEM (and by extension Steemit) has been the blazing fast blockchain tech. Truthfully, whenever I hear the "pitch", I am always left asking why Steemit even exists. At one point it was about rewarding writers and creatives....and now it's about blazing fast blockchain tech, busy.org and competing with the eBays and Etsys of the world. It's become one huge muddled mess.
