RE: Steem: Enabling change, managing and rewarding creation and consumption

but now i'm only on there because that's still where most of my audience, and friends still are. Much like facebook.

I am hoping that this will change over time at least to some part where people get so frustrated with the centralized control that they look for alternatives. A niche like Steem doesn't need a billion users to be highly successful, it just needs invested and engaged users. We are heading that way.

how steem could be the beginning on a decentralized, self governance system, where we hardfork the world by changing how we value things and actions in the world.

Sounds like something I might write :D. Drop me a link and I will read it later. just heading off to work again.
