I agree 100% with the comments about Steem.
I find the "social" aspect of this blockchain to be outdated. It was only meant as a means to onboard users, not the end game.

I agree there. It seems as though development should be the key ingredient here, but it will always have this social aspect tagged to it, so in a way it could apply to the realm of "end game" if you look at it a certain way. I'm trying to up my developmental knowledge a lot before I even attempt it, but I want to develop a game of my own design for the blockchain. I see the most potential in steem coming from it's ability to be used efficiently for microtransactions in gaming.
In addition to that, users could give feedback directly to devs. The social aspect has more advantages than just "making eachother feel good by voting and giving value," it has the ability to provide direct feedback/reviews/input from users of products developed with the chain as a foundation. I'm not sure what SMTs are or how they'd play into things ultimately; I haven't done my research on that aspect. I think as things currently stand, there is enough of a baseline to generate things of much higher quality than has been pushed out so far (With obvious exceptions such as splinterlands. Splinterlands also being a game, has had incredible success on the chain and done exceptionally well. It also shows just how simple it is to use cryptocurrency and blockchain tech/apis to create complex features.
Sorry, I'm rambling. I'm high as shit on some good buds. My bad. :)
Think about companies that seek to provide social services, being able to be funded by upvotes and conversion into fiat, without having to do anything more than post about their contributions to society... The potential for this blockchain to flourish and for steem to rise above $1 and beyond again, is infinitely viable. We haven't even touched the tip of momentum with what's possible with this technology/structure. :) Just my two cents. Not that anyone cares. lol
If only Dan was still around to see his plan through (lol)
