Exactly. I was thinking at that a couple of times as well. Why would they do that. Now they have their own platform. For now there are still English speakers over there but who knows for how long they will be around.

When I come across Steemit, I upvote any posts on the Trending page I can't read. At least it will be useful for something if it becomes a culture-specific version like Golos. They'll have to deal with spam, speculation and censorship, but that's what they've chosen.
I had good conversations with English-speaking Korean users, but the crypto culture is focused on speculation in Korea and China, even more than in Europe and the US. It's not simply an Asian thing, I think there's more interest in blockchain development in Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong for example.
Korean investors were the people who pushed Steem Dollars above $5. I have mixed feelings about the Hive price blowing up after being listed on Huobi. We haven't earned that valuation yet.
