Excitement :

That's what I can say. Steemit inc, has addressed most of the issues we've been facing. The update of protocol has been positively addressing the issues that the platform is facing.

- Curation

- Self-voting

- Spamming on bot accounts

- Bid bots

- Commenting issues 

- Implementing the idea of "Freemium" blockchain.

Curation in the sense that 15 minute rule was implemented to give it to the early users who found the content to be valued and maximize the curation rewards. Also, it discourages the idea  of voting immediately because curation rewards gets back to the reward pool.

Spamming on bot (automated) because of the implementation of Resource credits, where there is a need to discourage their super activity in the blockchain.

Commenting issue fixed. We can now comment every 3 seconds :)

Freemium blockchain, it gives users the understanding that Steemit is never free. Our activities are having cost. It is free to interact but there is a cost behind every transaction and that some transaction cost more than others, where it needs to be paid (via resource credits).

Overall, it is an exciting journey for us Steemians. A more mature platform and a promising blockchain.
