Thank you for the analysis, it was really a great one. I currently don't get so much rewards on my posts so I can easily sacrifice a part of them for SBD to stabilize at 1$, especially if it will help the platform more. What really intrigued me is your words:

e-commerce sites powered by Steem (which are yet to appear, I'm aware of that)

Do you mean that you are sure that e-commerce sites using Steem will start to appear?
