Could "Steemit 2.0" (MEOS?) Destroy Steemit?

Yesterday @theycallmedan posted a interesting pod cast about MEOS vs. Steemit. https://steemit.com/dtube/@theycallmedan/oq7g9q1o
While he made a very good case why steem would not only not be destroyed but thrive there are some implications that - due to my humble opinion - he did not point out.

So lets start with a short description what the rumors say MEOS could be..
MEOS could be a social network / profile network involving KYC/identity proof based on the EOS blockchain.
So far so good... but to understand the differences and implications for both steem and EOS one has to get one step back and take a bird's eye view of the issue.
Brandan and Dan seem to have come to the conclusion that a KYC process is paramount for any future professional use of EOS. This makes a lot of sense as if you have a clear KYC process you can run all kind of economic transactions on the EOS blockchain with very little effort and at the same time have the guarantee that in the case your access codes/passwords are compromised there is a way to start a reset process.
On the other hand other social networks, news feeds and commercial pages have a huge problem with fake accounts, hijacked accounts, fake news and especially fake reviews.
There is a very good youtube video explaining this enormously huge problem - for me this was eye opening.

So this could be a way to bring trust into your blockchain / system. And if you have this it is possible to do all kind of economic transactions on the blockchain, even replace or add a credit card. There are even rumors that a cooperation between EOS, Apple pay and a credit card vendor could be announced soon.

So this is the one side of the coin and I have to say this looks very well for EOS.

But what does this mean for steem?
@theycallmedan made a very good point about short and long term motivation of stakeholders, especially whales in a proof of stake environment.
On the other hand it is known that Dan made several comments in regards to bots being bad for steem.
And that is a point I truly understand. So will MEOS then have no bots at all? No, I do not believe so, but due to the KYC process they can allow only those bots that are beneficial to MEOS and keep everything else out - KYC as a gatekeeper.

While - for me - this is the biggest threat in regards to steem and steemit, you also have to look on the back side of this all. Once data is written on the blockchain, it is written on the blockchain for ever. And while MEOS might plan to allow external viewers only access to data you want to show them there is no way to stay anonymous.
Just think about those crazy party pics of your college time you happily erased form FB bevor applying to that law firm.

A very high percentage rate of blockchain users favor the decentralized aspect of decentralized blockchains and databases with no restrictions, censorship possibilities and centralized gatekeeper functions.
While the above is all fine and important for commerce, this is not the case for free speech, personal freedom and creativity.
So I believe many will seek the possibility to stay anonym and hence there is still demand for steem - actually I believe through mass adoption of other blockchains steem will even thrive much further.

At the end IMHO MEOS is a great way to bring EOS to a commercial level and to the end user and world wide distribution. And while professional content producers most likely will prefer EOS/MEOS to steem this is unlikely for the current and future user base of steem. So at the end you will probably have to have both: steem/steemit and EOS/MEOS.
We have to talk however about (voting)bots again as this is the main argument why steemians could leave for MEOS.
