excellent points! I do see a great future in Steem as it goes mainstream and more users sign up, I potentially see it as direct competition for facebook and twitter along with a sort of stock/bank (storage of wealth)as a way out of the "system" as corruption of banksters and government continue to come to light around the world and to fight dollar devaluation, not enough ppl are awake to that scenario yet . It offers a good deal of versatility even in it's early stage. I do want to buy some in the near future, I am not rich, so it will be a slow buy along with being prudent with my purchases of it for now. Anything I gain from posting , Iwant to keep within the platform for the longhaul. The draw back, all the plagiarism, bots and spam problems will get much worse as the platform grows to millions of users unless there is a way to manage deceitful behaviors beforehand.
