Seems that you got the community engaged rather early to start the week! These questions are very relevant as many have become more passionate about the future of Steem lately. From my perspective, I think of a future where Steem can provide an ecosystem for all my social interactions: games, utility, consulting, goods and many other things we seek when we go online. As it is being built, I am looking for a place to support the growth and help the value be created by supporting new users or projects that have similars visions. So far, I have enjoyed my journey as I have been learning so much about the potential here that it helps me engaged around the community.
THe more people get interested, the better it will be.
I think many people don't realise the sheer volume of possibility a content chain offers, they are tied to the current forms.
