Some very well thought out and interesting points. In many respects, I never considered the financial value that Steemit brings to the cryptocurrency market. If anything, that is a positive for this community. If for now this community grows solely on the fact that people use it as a platform to share ideas and creativity, then once the market realizes the financial benefit of Steemit, it will be the cherry on top. I resteemed this article and also converted 1 LTC to Steem Power because of your argument. Well done.
