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.
