I never see steem being the answer. A platform that pays you for content is something but there are too many real world jobs that require people to provide an actual service. I see steem succeeding but I still see the old system in place. Unless we find a way to automate all the important jobs in the next ten years theres no way steem grows to that level.
Adoption will happen but the pragmatic guy in me does not see true value when everybody is blogging and we just get saturated with crap. It'll be a nice social platform but thats as far as I see it grow. Can't wait for a few good SMTs but theres too much competition for steem to take over as it is right now.
Some honestly
Thank you for saying what many don’t!
The question is if steem would work as money. Not that everyone should be a blogger:) But the actual attributes and value that steem could provide through social media.
Just like gold is valuable, but not everyone should be a gold-miner. I think there's other cryptos there also could take the job as being "money" But this was merely a reflection on if steem could be:)
