We are in the infancy of real social change and Steem is a pioneer. I feel as if it will reach critical mass and really take off as people start to wake up to the censoring and manipulation. The idea of monetizing your activities in the community rather than having your activities monitered and monetized by others is exciting and has that sense of empowerment over our own efforts that so many of us are craving while trapped in an outdated system.
Although some pioneers can find themselves face down in the mud with arrows in their back... I think steem has a long way to go and will be a foundation for much more.

GATHERING STEEEEEEEEEEEEM!!!
