@dan I could not be more jazzed about the long-term prospects for Steemit. Having said that, I'm a little concerned about a lack of focus in the short-term. While execution of the social media aspect has gone remarkably well so far, there are still many traps to be avoided and much improvement to be made before Steemit can expect to become a true contender in the social media space, thus "bootstrapping" the value you reference in your post above. I hope everyone keeps their eye on the social media prize in the short term, and works to perfect it, before taking on some of the more ambitious things that you discuss here. Just my two cents.
