This sounds very interesting and as more I think about it this is going to be a game changer!
Yes, Steem needs to be and stay decentralized in its decision making and infrastructure. But still we need more coordinated efforts and marketing to bring real value to the Steem Blockchain. Like oracle-d and the "Vote for Steem" campaign is great for the whole community as so the Steem institute could also create more traffic and interest in Steem.
Looking forward to your developments!
