Hi there! I also made a post on this, I guess great minds think alike? Haha..
Reddit is platform trying to bootstrap a cryptocurrency with their existing user base, while Hive/Steem are trying to bootstrap a user base with their cryptocurrencies. Who will be the winner in the end? I think it is hard to say.
Very true and interesting way of looking at both scenarios, it would have been merry if both platforms could handshake.
Im going ahead to check your post out now, thanks for your comment.
