If Bitcoin has a trending page, it’ll all be filled with proof of work gibberish anyway so human readable content on steem is at least.. something :)

steem's POW ledger will be a true testimony to the shallow nature of humankind in the early 21st century.

I dread to think how it's going to deteriorate when it really mainstreams!
I need to sort out a strategy to make sure I stay in my 'niche'.
