AHAHAH you sounded like a child, "rediscovering the world", amazing what a piece of glass can do for us, now you can even see the ground ;)
I´m on the same point has you do, let´s see what EOS bring to the crypto world, and what are we facing... Personally, I'm very bullish for their project, but as you mentioned, there is to much hype around it, and expectations can be tricky, too many people expecting too much, the odds for a lot of people to get disappointed are pretty big.
Crypto is too small, STEEM and EOS don´t have to compete for now, because their immediate goal is the same, attract millions of people to the crypto world and enjoy the value created by that.
