You make a good argument for the future value of steem / rcs / smts.
I think a very important part of this will be when people don't even realize they're using blockchains and they use dapps/dev projects because it is useful, fully functional and rewarding (tokenized).
Like you said, we don't need to know how it works it just has to work.
Steem's capabilities (tx speed/ no fees) make it a great place to build and when vibrant communities are added into the mix it makes it very attractive. Hopefully when/if smts are released people will see its real potential.

This will be the point that people are getting on the bus, paying on a blockchain and have no idea what a blockchain does. Mass adoption.
The no fees is going to potentially be a huge advantage for Steem once transaction volumes increase significantly across all the chains. Other chains are likely going to have to decrease their fees or make them free to compete.
