From my perspective, the problem is that we still need some tools/development based in code to make the evolution and development of the platform as a platform, as a social media intermediary, more useful and more readily put to work being a good social media platform.

Which is the entire motivation for any of my advocacy as regards "the code" at any point.

As some kind of money, STEEM is kind of crap. Which is okay if we use it to "keep score" and not to "go make a living." Unfortunately, that's a position that there really isn't too much support for in the community as a whole.

Until they get by that particular roadblock, sure – we can do interesting and cool things. They will just be really, really hard to get people in front of to know about and enjoy.
