I agree and disagree. We need to talk about this though. Lol. Too much to type. ;)
One quick answer though is...it doesnt happen overnight. And the fate of steem rests in what steemit.inc does with that massive stake. Imagine what they could do if we can do tjings like whaleshares with a fraction of the funds...
I urge u to rethink steemit though. It is not a social network as much as it is a mutual aid society with a basic framework for a social network added in.
And yes...when steem tech replaces these sites their owners will be very wealthy. Im cool with replacing them...just not holding them up on a pedestal as something to emulate ;)
But to answer your question...yes other chains can use steem tech to do some really cool stuff. I look forward to the future in this.
Don't just leave it at that man. Explain this hangout thing to me. Do you mean Google hangout, are you talking about a discord channel, or what? I know you have the inside route to the steemit illuminati. Give me the keys.
The steemit illuminati? I must leave it at that. Im too busy building stuff and searching for solutions. I wish u luck ;)
lol
Since I read through these comments, I might as well chime in with some info as well.
There is a Whaletank hangout tomorrow hosted by Beyond Bitcoin. You can find out how to join here:

You can sign up in the comments with a project of yours, if you feel it's relevant to context of the post, or just listen in and ask questions to the projects being discussed. It is a great way to get some exposure and feedback on your project as well as a nice way of learning about new all the cool new things happening in the Steemit/Crypto space.
Just to make it clear, I am not running this, Fuzzy and friends are, but I thought the info could be useful to you.
