Great post @crypticat - I am extremely optimistic about the future of Steem thanks to Steem Engine. In fact, before Steem Engine came along and before I got involved in the project, I was becoming disenfranchised about Steem and not really optimistic about the future.
And it's crazy to think, this is just the beginning. The Steem Engine project has a lot of exciting features and additions planned well into the future. Eventually, it'll be at the point where Steemit will deliver SMT's, but Steem Engine will be so far ahead that Steemit Inc will not even be able to catch up.
I'm glad some competent individuals are taking over the development of the blockchain. There are a lot of great projects coming up. I look forward to seeing more from you and your team and have followed you and steem-engine to keep in the loop.
