Truth be told... Steemit is the best use case of the steem blockchain. Investors want to know how their money will work for them... So if they are investing in steem, its most likely going to work for them on the steemit platform - but that is where it gets all complex and hard to explain - and that is why investors ultimately shy away from steemit (i am talking about those investors who dont take the time to understand the mechanics of steemit, these are the ones who shy away), but if they take the time to understand the platform and its underlying mechanics, they will see it as a beautiful investment vehicule... however that is where the BIG PROBLEM lies, passing across the steemit vision, mission, operations, in a clear and attractive way to potential investors...
Many people want things to work in simple language ABC style... they tend to cringe when they discover there's still LMN to deal with as well...
As for steemit its so beautifully complex it goes all the way to XYZ...
Wall street investors see this as a no-no for them, but crypto lovers, passionate writers, and the like nerds just love steemit for what it is... A self sustainable economy that will rule the world some day... (just my thoughts)
