You can only put money into bitcoin, but you can put money and time into Steem; and you can only withdraw the money, which leaves all the time everyone's spent and will continue to spend, still firmly invested.
This is surprisingly insightful. Steem convinced me that I needed to learn JavaScript and start tinkering with the dsteem API. More will follow behind me. Once we come up with governance systems to bring us together developers can start to scale up and get even more professional grade products released on the blockchain.
Unlike the corporatocracy we live in today, these products will be owned and maintained by the communities that created them, not some greedy board of directors.
