Many scoff at curation because small accounts don't make a lot, but I think that in time it will build more into a professional service. @ocd already pays their curators and has been for two years now. They have distributed a massive amount through @acidyo and the curators have earned well for doing what they do. Not everyone is cut out for it.
I also think that in time, it is going to be ludicrous for some accounts to keep curating themselves. 1 million steem produces a 17 dollar vote today. at 3 dollars that is a 170 dollar vote, at 9 it is 500 dollar vote, 18 a thousand dollar vote. $10,000 distributed a day... That is 100 posts earning 100 dollars worth of Steem a day (5.5 Steem :D each). 100 potential authors around the world from every 1 million Steem powered up daily.
The "small" accounts will be massive drivers of value that spread small amounts widely, the large will be attractors of all kinds of content creators, all kinds of projects, all kinds of businesses - a marketing dream. millions of accounts can have value distributed to them - and that is just from the steem pool. Then the token layers come in on top.
People take these small amounts of Steem for granted because they don't see the potential in what is to come.
I think it's understated that many of the problems we struggle through with 30 cent steem cease to exist with 3 dollar steem.

I agree. And 30 cent Steem in this market is not too bad in my opinion at this point due to usage. Later if the applications do their job, the price will rise and stablize rather than just be speculators diversifying across alts to make some gains.
I love the price. Orca is so attainable!
