I'll check his post; he often seems to have some gold nuggets to think about.
I'd like to think this place will thrive, in time. Sometimes it seems a little ironic that those who have a LOT at stake here seem more complacent about the future than those who have relatively little and just wish for an awesome user experience.
Besides, the "greater story" of the gamification of social media seems like a really good idea.

This is a key concern or worry isn't it. I'm sure, or at least I hope, it's not as bad as people (including myself) think, but time after time I'm drawn to how I see large stakes being used, and it just doesn't look pretty to me.
Anyway, I'll continue as I am and pray to the Steem gods and see what happens.
