I absolutely agree with your vision of using Steemit as a method for rewarding social activism in the same way that Utopian.io rewards innovative coding and application development. I'm actually supremely grateful for Utopian.io, as they demonstrated how you can use something as simple as a custom condenser to create what is, really, a whole new platform. I also agree that, at no other time in human history has it been easier to accomplish tasks using disparate groups of people focusing on a singular goal. Our technology is paving the way to ever newer, ever more incredible feats of doing well for ourselves and for each other.

I'm supremely fascinated at what the next decade is going to bring. :)
