I have bought STEEM, powered up, created quality content and have started work on a way to use steemit to change how people exchange goods with #steemaway . None of that has received much attention and I'm perfectly fine with that. I get it, new ideas and its a business.
Now fast forward to today where there is a campaign to raise funds to help a little girl fight for her life. It was done by a woman and has the support of thousands of people (potential new Steemers) right now looking at her SteemIt post (http://bit.ly/ZariahStrong) and its not even over a dollar. While at the same time there is the typical analysis's, opinions on whales and how to game the system. I believe in Steem and I see the potential. I also hear the statements about the important of bringing in as many new people as possible and supporting things of value for the Steem community.........well there is no better way for us to achieve all of our goals.
The future success of SteemIt has very little to do with big business. It is going to be how STEEM looks to the world. What did we do when we had a chance to do things different? Did we use this new strength and capital power to just continue the same social disfunction or did we keep the spirit of decentralization and self empowerment with endless acts of selflessness.
I will be watching STEEMIT very close today. This day for me will decide if this new found potential is here to save the world or to preserve the status quo for just a few elites.
