2. Name a Scenario where Synereo could Steam-Roll Steemit? by cognoscere

. Of course one on synereo the hot topic dujour. This one links to all the others and is a good starting place to understand synereo.

So how do you see this all playing out? Will Synereo emerge fully-formed, ready to take on all comers old and new? Or, will its planned alpha release have its fair share of bugginess and slow user adoption?

Includes commentary on private messaging, blockchain sharding, Decentralized web applications.
It ends with a list of questions like
