About a month ago, I found that UUU (U Network) would go from $0.004 to $0.9 in a year. This was one of the biggest growths compared to other coins during this year. So, yes, I think the U Network will play a big role in social media; however, I am not sure as to HOW it will help Steemit.

As for voting bots, I think it would be difficult to stop them. I believe the only way to stop this would be that only ONE user can have ONE steemit account. You see, by having a second account, a witness can run his business. With this second account, the witness cannot vote for his fellow followers because it will weaken the vote power, which has to always to be above 80%. So one account is for voting friends, and the other account is for the bid bot business.

I think this is a controversial issue. Not good, not bad.
It depends on HOW the bid bot uses the earned money.

For example, Jerry Banfield's bot earned $100,000 USD in 6 months, but he will use a lot of that money for donation and helping Steemit become better. In fact, today is his LAST DAY for the bot!
However, other little bots don't even pay!!!! This is definitely abuse.

Sometimes, people are really really good at writing and need to be promoted out to the public for their talent. However, they do not have enough money or followers. This is so sad and unfortunate (=안타까운)

And sometimes, some people only do self-voting (a $60 vote and do not share or help the Steemit community flourish. So selfish.)

제가 봤을 때는 조건 하고 상황이 너무 많아서 이 문제를 해결하는 방법을 찾는 것은 쉬운 일이 아닐 거라고 생각합니다.
