Thanks for the well written article. I've been interested and investing in various cryptocurrencies for years and am always cautious when I hear about the next big thing. IMO Steemit is the 1st in a longtime that is really combining 21st century phenomena to become bigger than the sum of its parts. It provides an immediate real world strong application beyond just currency speculation. Lots of altcoins have failed because they do not provide a more convenient solution to what already exists. Steemit has an immediate USP, similar to ethereum and this will be the key to its future success. I hope.
