This is a really great interview. I like the approach you took Hive account@dollarvigilante where you didn't really pick a side, but rather, you were looking to learn more about Tone's opinions as well as state your views. As time goes on, I think more and more that Steemit is going to be sustainable. Worst case scenario in my opinion is that even if Steemit fails, there will be enough learned that this model can be adapted and modified so that a rewarding social network will eventually prevail. Personally, I think Steemit will accomplish great things, but only time will tell.
