STEEM is a blockchain. Blockchains are useful only when people use them. People don’t want to use them if the right of access (tokens) is expensive. So the better a blockchain is, the more useful it is, the harder it is for its tokens to “moon”... Tell me I’m wrong.

Mmm... using Steem as an example might not fit that strict description...
What I mean: a person doesn’t NEED Steem to access and participate in it - they only need tokens if they desire to hold larger voting power.
Thus, the usefulness and price may be separate issues. A lot of people here have still found Steem useful while price has been low. And given that, price may be related more strictly to speculation and/or the demand for voting influence...

and blockchain, given a good design is considerably lighter in infrastructure than platforms that support traditional currencies (at least the massive ones). think about the intermediaries being rendered obsolete. of course, it'd be unwise to shove all kinds of data into the chain.. so blockchain is certainly a specific kind of solution, probably to complement traditional databases.
@ned and @stinc have no business savy and should have taken me up on $2.00 steem token offer long ago. They would have gotten A LOT more value than the $150,000 they are plowing into the latest failed project (DOA).
The only real draw of the STEEM blockchain was to get rewarded for your content. All the dApps and whatever else is going on is pointless and overrated. Steemit INC squandered away a lot of money by turning Steemit from what it was to what it is today.
I was looking for alternatives for entirely different reasons, then found a standalone frontend to Steem called eSteem Surfer. I guess I'll be using them instead of Steemit (or other web-based frontends). I just must find a clever way to link to my posts on the blockchain without going to these web-apps.
People have been building apps and stuff on Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc without a "second layer reward pool" like Steem anyway..
This social media blockchain can only attract the most socially inept people that lack basic skills in social interaction.

It's been like that since the advent of the social media. Read reddit.
LOL!!
It doesn't really seem like content matters. You only get votes from others if you have a huge wallet, they opening it turns to a vote 4 vote
steem marketings sucks and will suck for the foreseeable future :D ( even shitty dlive has much better marketing )
Agree to that. The onboarding sucks too.
Highly rEsteemed!
What, me worry?
Being an individual is not in line with what the people with power want.
Put your honest hard earned money where your mouth is.
Work for it, there is no free lunch out there.
Opinions that many never want to hear as they are not in line with their actions.
Beat that if you can!
The blockchain that makes a blockchain that the masses don’t realize is a blockchain, wins!

I don't think this is unpopular :p lol anyway..!
Bring back 50/50!
Fork out STINC!
Support the BRO Sports and Gaming Network!
Approve @ats-witness as your most bestest Steem witness!
Listen to me! I can save Steem!!!
A token mechanism claimed to support investment has been designed instead to promote extraction of content value, and attracted profiteers instead of investors who would focus on increasing the value of the investment vehicle. Steem should fork out unlimited payouts that create incentive to selfvote and reduce the value of good content, via an algorithm that creates a 3%-300% of median payout structure, which also eliminates bidbots as a viable profiteering mechanism, and enable dividends to be generated by investors who delegate or invest in development of Steem and dapps that increase the value of Steem.
This would strongly push upwards on the price of Steem, deliver real incentive to curate good content rather than game curation for ROI, and fix all problems in the world today.
