Price is really the only thing that separates this from Reddit and other blogging platforms. Without worth, no one would be here. Being decentralized, a term which is so overused anyway, doesn't really matter for a social media platform it only matters if the coin has any worth.
Without worth, no one mines.
Without miners, the network is not secure.
Without a secure network, the coin fails completely.
Also, kinda dumb that I couldn't reply to your last post directly... seems like there is only a certain amount of nested posts before the reply button just disappears. @tie-warutho
