Yeah if this works it will be amazing. I'm suddenly thinking, hey, I can actually say stuff, and if it's valuable I get something for it. That's a revolution right there, compared to how Facebook, Twitter, and everything else is just sucking life out of its own users, who sustain their life instead by a job that, in the end, typically doesn't produce anything interesting.

It's even more amazing when I consider the educational system, how long it takes me to write a master thesis, or even a PhD application - all of that energy and information is contracted into a broken system where incentives are not effectively aligned with the production of knowledge and value. The prospect of a Steem for Science is awesome to consider.
