Re: the points below @ridz84, I would say that this platform is going to evolve to deal with many use cases not one. We don't know either, it's a dynamic adaptive system, so what we do makes it go in different places, what whales do makes it go in other places. Steemit could end up being analogous to many different things or nothing at all.
