It is good to know that steem really stand out among other blockchain and because is a decentratised blockchain,it is tend to stand the test of time but my fear is that the instability in the price of steem is discouraging some merchant from accepting it for transactions.
As regards the power been centered in some hands i think everything is making a lot of sense now as many investors are coming in and they are ready to help communities and projects that are really committed in keeping steemit growing
