I believe @steemit has its "Moat" is that it pays even if you are a small contributor, if you only read and vote, if you publish everyday or once a week. Depends on your work, but as a social platform it gives the opportunity to share and earn.
In a few weeks that I've been here, I am surprised on how much stories and the amount of people that Steemit has helped just because of the funding they had. One of them has even built a house for his family in just a few months of posting. Of course it is not a mansion in Miami or LA, but it is a house, built with steemit funds... That is something that I had never read before and it is just amazing.
That is its' "Moat" and its "Peace of innovation" so it has both of success worlds!
#DYOR and always, always, always remember to use stop/loss
