So many gems in one article, and most of what you said I agree with like:

Everything in life should be about bettering your financial prosperity WHILE bettering your community/family and surroundings.

Exactly the opposite of what most users seem to be doing here nowadays with the broken economic structure.

I hope things will change for the better with these implementations and that it will actually turn out how you predicted it to turn out (more curators will curate more high quality content in order to reach max ROI by curating instead of self-voting).

Just one thing I can't agree with you on here is that Steemit had better alexa rankings because of 50/50 and better content ending up in trending. It was solely because of the price increase and sheer amount of users we had back around the time of the last bull run.

If I'm right, we are going to see that play out once again in the next bull run, and we will see Steemit shoot up the rankings. But then again, EIP should be implemented by then so the exact effects of it will be unquantifiable.

Anyway, it's good to finally see some attempts to change the plagued economic model and it will be interesting to see how it all plays out moving forward.

Hage a good one,

Cheers!
