RE: Long-legged Fly
I stumbled on BTC back in the CPU mining days. I could see then that is was more than just an alternative form of money, it was a new form of governance. Peer to peer, man to man. No middle man needed. No central authority needed. Open ledgers vesus closed ledgers. Mind blowing really.
But, platforms like Steemit are more exciting to me still.
What better thing could have been conceived than a reward system based on ones attention, creativity and the willingness to share?

From what I have learned so far about blockchain and crypto, its more than mindblowing, it rocks. I come from an accounting and finance background myself and I think the uptake of this technology is so fecking slow
There is a lot of competition coming for steemit, a few are aiming at the attention economy
Competition is always good. Steemit has users and a working platform. It's going to take a lot to topple it. But, if something comes out with a slicker interface and greater rewards, Steemit will have to reinvent itself...or perish.
Most will go where the wind blows...just lead or follow.
The name of the game in any newly emerging tech is to be flexible. Don't get caught in the rut of thinking that you've invested so much that you must stay. Go if it makes sense, stay if it makes sense.

Sometimes businesses fail because they are too early to the market. Sometimes I wonder will this be the case for steemit. But I do think there is a lot of flexibility with steemit and it will continue to evolve. exciting times ahead
I know I'm rooting for Steemit. But, any way the new economy of creativity, attention and sharing comes to fruition I will support.
Beats the hell out of artificial scarcity and voluntary servitude any day.

just wondering, kinda side point, but are you part of the engagement leagues ran by @abh12345, if not i think you should be :-)
No, I'm not. Right now I'm staying on the sidelines as far as too much involvement.
I like the role of content Creator and fisherman. I'm afraid I have too many irons in the fire todo justice to anything more than that at this point.
So, I disappear into the crowd and observe.
