For me, certainly one of the single most appealing things about Steemit (and the whole blockchain idea) is precisely that it has that sense of "permanence." There's no dictatorial Sub-Redditor with an axe to grind who's suddenly going to get rid of something... and I can actually use this place to write "personal landmark" stories with the knowledge that someday — whether it's out of need or something else — I will be able to refer back to thing that happened on certain dates here... and there it will be.
