Well, looking at the past waves of evolution, chances are higher that Steem, like most cryptos, will not survive but some form will. I remember when the Internet started to become popular. Traditional marketing firms, the governement etc were all going get disrupted. Most of them had a defensive attitude, believing they might lose control etc A lot of the early proponents dreamed of a 'cyberspace completely separate from the real world with a lot more freedom". However look at it now. The Internet has brought us more freedom, while at the same time it has taken other freedoms away. I myself have libertarian sympathies. But when I hear some people talk in the crypto community that cryptos will finally bring us all the freedom we want, I'm pretty sure they will get disappointed in the future. The blockchain will be everywhere. AI/data analytics will be able to make incredible detailed profiles of everyone on earth. So many things will get tokenized, many interactions will be registered 'forever and unchangeable' in bockchains. Officially with the GDPR rules in Europe it should be possible for individual to remove their identities in every case they choose to. But there will be SO MANY, you won't even remember you are registered somewhere. With many self learning AI bots grabbing everything they can over time, combining blockchain data with your browsing history, sensor data, etc that not only makes profiles of people, but can also push agendas in ways we can't even comprehend at the same time, it's going to be scary.
