As a new member and both immediately and regularly amazed by the steemit community I came to the same conclusion that you did about the future of steemit. Of course we never know what next app or platform will come and take away the marketshare like myspace with friendster for example. But in the spirit of living in the moment, steemit is here and thriving, full of love and positive energy. It is amazing to be a part of it in a small way... cruise ship or not I am grateful :) Maybe even better than the cruise ship possibility is the future that we don't need to worry about money. Maybe a long time in the future? But I still dream about that day and in the meantime it seems like steemit helps us take a small step in that direction :)
