Great post. I have only been around for a couple of weeks and seen the community, tools, and interface change quite a bit in that short time.
Honestly, I cannot imaging what it will be like i n 2-3 years. Heck, I am not even sure what it will look like in a month!

What I am sure of is this community will work hard to keep it alive and help it expand. I hope we are successful, but if we are then a whole lot of social complexities enter the mix. You will have cliques, power mongers, socialites, and many other archetypes making the Steemit cauldron swirl with activity and drama.

Should be a fun ride!
