Steem has a lot to offer; We need strong marketing though; Not only to the public, but also to businesses. I think Steem would do very well when some FIAT money is thrown at developing services and bringing these to the market in business like ways.
Yep, definitely. I think that it will be easier once the community focus for earning from the steeminflation pool is moved to SMTs instead. That way, Steem becomes a haven for developers to build upon all kinds of things.
I think we need to remove Steem distribution based on voting for the communities to work; Otherwise focus will still be predominately on earning Steem.
Very likely. But the idea upsets many. Eventually though it will be, invest into holding steem or don't.
