No doubt. The model of the future, with peer to peer transfer of value possible, it is going to be "pay me to read your news".
The attention economy, as they are calling it, will radically alter things.
As for the digital money wars, good let them battle it out. The projects that stay on the sideline and just keep developing will be much stronger than any that are in the battle.
It is why I am so high on Steem. We just keep plodding along under the radar; making a great deal of progress with our development.
Yep. I can't believe they are still charging people.
I wish I shared your enthusiasm for steem, but with no money to advertise or attract big projects here, I am not sure if/how we get this turned around.
