We'll need more than a few million bloggers. With a 90% YOY churn, Steemit first needs to fix the rewards mechanism so it's not a cryptomining game for 38 whales, and then the real potency of voluntarist government can begin to counter the totalitarian threat.

We need to get Steem around exchanges, too. Banks aren't going to be allies, either. Fakebook has enough users to prompt adoption of it's currency globally. The best we can hope for is to ride that wave, and hang on, hoping reason will prevail and decentralization prove necessary to folks.

If you have a look at my other replies on this post, you'll see I figure there's a lot more than Steemit at stake.

We need allies.
