I like that view. But, at the same time, if we can't get the right amount of social control or if the wrong incentives are in place, the blockchain will work like a juggernaut while its value will be defaced. However, even in this doom scenario, the knowledge that we are gathering publically on how to manage a community like this on a blockchain will not be lost. That's why I think the future of steem doesn't matter so much for the importance on the discussions that are held :) cheers
