I see steemit as offering the best aspects of bitcoin, and of facebook.
I'm not here for now, though. It's absolutely not worth my time to spend 3 hours on a post, only to watch it make $20 or $30 over the next week.
I could make a lot more by working overtime at my regular job.
It's also not worth planting an apple tree in your backyard.
So much easier to just pick up a bag of apples at the shop;
You don't plant trees, kick the saplings a few times, and then stop watering them.
Every post, I pick up another 20 or 30 dollars, but I also pick up another 20 or 30 followers; while the site is growing at 5000/day.
How many followers will I add each day when the site is adding 50,000 users a day, or 500,000 users a day?
