I've described the power of networking on Steemit.
And have decided to create a slack for those who are interested in Steem networking, business and politics (i.e. choosing witnesses, promoting our own witnesses etc).
The best thing about STEEM is that it's governance is truly decentralized. I.e. enough of us could affect core infrastructure.
And generally there is a lot of business infrastructure to be built.
And early movers stand to make a lot of money.
