In order to survive the capacity for resilience must be increased. Wisdom building can accomplish this. Bitcoin for example acts as memory, but it's not enough because it doesn't actually build wisdom. Steem provides social media which is entertaining but it's not producing much wisdom for the amount of content, users, and resources.

This isn't to say that every crypto platform has to be focused on producing something serious. Steem for example may evolve to produce news from the community perspective. The issue with news is that ultimately there is nothing on Steem which would guarantee that it would remain fact based.

So to be wise requires collecting facts, it requires piecing together those facts, and this is something Steemit doesn't really help with. In fact nothing in the crypto space seems to help with that which is why so much useless information floats around, so many scams flourish, etc.
