I think Steem, Bitshares and EOS will form a deadly trilogy. This article being posted by EOD on Steem is just one example of that.
The day companies start using Steem for all publishing needs, Bitshares for financial needs and EOS for Dapps the valuation of these projects will go over the roof.
Not sure! Perhaps EOS will eventually kill its predecessors.
I feel like it will due to its fair distribution ... this will help adoption dramatically.
Why would it..? None of them compete in the same market and they would be the easiest coins to "port" to Eos, since they're built on the same technology. And dave I think you're just mad that you didn't buy earlier. They all had a fair distribution.
That tomorrowbc website shows a wonderful appreciation for eh, simplicity

Try www.TomorrowVC.com
is it the same?
not the same but Derek Rundell is a partner of both company.
Awesome. Keep us posted.
I am a true believer EOS is a game changer in blockchain technology. It enables mass adoption and it should bring big companies and products (and capital) to blockchain! So I bet quite a big share of my crypto investment fund on EOS! The future looks bright 😀
It’ll be very interesting to see decentralized start-ups on EOS.IO disrupt the FAANG companies. Grab a front row seat and the show everyone. To infinity and beyond!!!
hopefully it will!! open source and dc everything!
Should be www.TomorrowVC.com
Dan you are a brilliant pioneer, the one who truly made steemit what it is. I look forward to whatever you put out, you truly care about making the blockchain, and the world a better place.
im exciting for the progression.
The potential of "disruptive technologies". We live in exciting times indeed. EOS is at the right place and at the right time.

This is interesting although I have to admit I don’t yet understand how the steemit token economy work, and it’s the first time I hear of “vests”! Is there a place where I can learn about how this micro economy work?
Also, is D.tube developed by steemit guys or is it someone else (because it’s part of the same economy, right)?
