Agreed! I think Steem would also have been better off if Steemit, Inc. had had the courage to "position" the currency more as a "utility coin" but that's evidently a "bad word" because utility coins tend to be boring and more stable... and not capable of going up 100-fold in 3 weeks.
"Everybody wants a crypto Lambo!"
Lambos are really exciting for a holiday weekend, and become a real pain in the ass when you have to start schlepping kids, and groceries and laundry around. But hey, unicorn sparkles are far more exciting than day-to-day reality...
I'm actually seeing some of that human interaction returning... and it's one of the few things that give me a little hope for the future of this place!
I have a Steemit-funded computer. It's more than I ever expected, to be honest.
Understood. Last year, I bought a set of tires for our truck with Steemit rewards and that was also far more than I ever figured I'd get in rewards.
