I sometimes think that in going for a "big picture" strategy by working toward development of tokens / growth of Steem ecosystem by DApps, Stinc has missed the true "big picture" opportunity. The real value proposition of Steem is now and always has been as a censorship resistant, decentralized social media network. That is more valuable now than ever. As Facebook, Patreon, Tumbler et al struggle to deal with the conflict between advertiser dollars and user desires, a platform that cuts out the advertiser model entirely is only going to become more attractive. This is the only area that Steem has a true first mover advantage, and even now years in, there isn't anyone else in this space.

Tokenization on the other hand is the cool kid on the block that dozens of blockchain solutions offer but that actually doesn't have any intrinsic value in and of itself. Tokens are worthless if they don't do anything.
