Omg, i love this post. So much great data! Thank you. But you must update the market cap of steem. Haha just kidding.

I think your conclusion of why users in crypro are more valuable is incomplete. I think most users are invested, which makes a huge difference. So while value needs to be attracted in the old social media from outside, in crypto it comes intrinsically. Damn!

The power of steem I think is that it has the power to do both and these value flows will re-enforce each other. That is new and extremely powerful!

For example folks that invest here will prefere using this platform over reddit. Authors who receive rewards will likely want to invest here as well.
