The killer app would have to come through SMT's. We do not have it yet. The Community is the one great thing we have, and i mean that considering the fact that a significant/huge portion of the community is not looking at blockchains as revolutionary tools of/for/by the people, but rather ways to gain a chunk of future money supplies/to just grab as many vote crumbs as they can. I've even modified my own behavior in order to get more DLive votes, and it's annoying to see it, even in myself.

After that stuff with Hive account@ned last night, the time is just incredibly important. The delegations in this next period, well, they either go to decent and ingenious community members with the right thoughts in their head, and stop being insanely wasted in many cases, or steem is not gonna make it.

I get the stake based system, especially in contrast to brute force systems proving work, and consuming more processing power than the greatest worldwide game never yet created, but on another level, i think only a meritocracy really has a chance in this ecosystem.

What the CEO does now i'm watching closely as hell.

I've seen money thrown away lately, lots of it, and if it was my business, i'd be flipping out.
