Steem however, this magical blockchain can; and it can do so not only for free but at a profit! It is my belief the Steem blockchain will be highly sought after digital real-estate.
On the otherhand, Steemit donating 1000 Sp to its users won't be a bad idea as it would encourage users to stay on the platform, engage and promote.
I must say that people pay great attention to Facebook and other social media for free and like you said, when they come to the knowledge of their attention being worth something, they will definitely desert such places.
But Steem is somewhat different and that's the reason many would have no choice than to join us here!
no one gonna donate nothing to nobody just for showing up
