In the end, the way I see it Steem is a play on crypto as a whole - particularily as theyre all paired against BTC and relatively interchangeable with each other. Yet unlike most coins, Steem has a real world use case and a development environment that is strengthening in application every day.
Long after xyz token disappears from having no use other than as a speculation tool with limited adoption, Steem will continue to allow users a forum of communication on an SEO optimized platform. And thats just Steemit. Just the possibility of advertising alone should yield an enduring form of imbued value.
I see this fall as an opportunity to shake out those who dont believe in the platform and allow a more affordable entry for those who truly see its long term value.
The d.tubes, steemmonsters, funditions, utopians, and etc that have only begun to lay a beautiful foundation of this new universe remain an admirable testament to date. In just about 3 years, Steem is just now beginning to give a glimpse of a new Internet where everyone can partake in the creation of value rather than be exploited by a corporations enslaved to wealthy elites.
Hi @investingpennies. I know you got into Steem at a good time last year so I do appreciate you stopping by to share your insight.
Let me not tell you how many ICO or crap coin I invested in that is now in oblivion. 😩
You hit the mark here. Such big potential here that engages the end user/investor. Developers are incentivized to create. Artists and writers are encouraged to share their work. Charismatic individuals are rewarded for producing videos. There is something for everyone.
All we need now is to call forth the sleeping whales to help curate and support the creativity on here. ;)
