So far I do not think Steemit is for everyone... it is far too much work to keep it going for most. So those that come in to make a quick buck, loose interest quickly... while some burn out just trying to achieve certain levels.

I think that if and when the SMT's come out, it will be good for Steem, but I see many a people here building and concentrating more on their own platforms than here and especially not both.

A question that I have not heard addressed yet also is if you have your WordPress site working with the future SMT's, will that build reputation on Steemit. If it does not and people can still earn Steem on their own site, they will leave.

Instead of moving toward ETH, maybe it is more like EOS.

Lets face it Steemit is a great (Steem/Digital Asset) building platform for some, but it is hard to maintain both... and I do not see it as a way to market themselves. Steemit is anti marketing from what I see, so with a base of users that are advertiser adverse there are many questions as if anyone will stay.
