I'll admit you got my on the clickbait title, but I'm glad you did. @halcyondaze mentioned to me the other day that Steem is one of the best blockchain platforms that doesn't require you the be technical which allows for greater adoption. This coupled with creating circles of comminutes that are free to be their own group yet make the network stronger over time, Steem is going to be a robust platform for the future. Thanks for the detailed posted. Have you read The Starfish and the Spider yet? It covers some of what you discussed.
