This is a f*****g brilliant post.

It's good to hear from others who have a similar view on what we need to create a true social media platform. The money element, makes the dynamics here far more complex.

If the whales distributed their SP to the wider community via delegation or even donations, it would actually make them richer as the network effect would increase the value of STEEM and maybe a few more people would stick around and actually engage with the platform.

I've invited a few people and most have found it too difficult to get started or gain any real rewards.

Keep up the great work. I wonder where we will all be in 5 years time.

Will steem be another Betamax? A HD-DVD? MiniDisc? Or MySpace? Or will those with power be able to guide it to something more sustainable?

Only time will tell... But the journey will be fun
