Of course steem is the most successful social median even as compared to FB and it is leading decentralized (blockchain based) social media at large.
I really loved the way you bring lesson and it is very interesting. Especially, how you relate root system with steem platform operation as a whole.
This is not enough but I suggest there is a way to make steem achieve much much greater success than it did. Mainly, if there is equitable system that could support the growth and development of steemians at each different stages like for plankton, minnows ….
Sometimes when I examine how steem works, I just feel it like the way capitalism operates. I mean, minnows and planktons consume what runoff from the whales. I hope, there comes time to settle and that time what you said will come true "...success of another improves the whole" as a system
thanks a lot @tarazkp
