i think the beauty of this platform is that it's making a real use of cryptocurrency that people are actually earning and trading in steem. I have seen people offer jobs for people to make logos etc in return for steem and to date this has really been lacking from other cryptocurrencies which, have only really been used for trading and storing, buying and selling. This platform allows crypto to begin being used as a currrency the only thing i worry about is how much content is about crypto currency. I think the ideal scenario is crypto currency blending with the real world and this is close but only if it doesn't end up with every single trending post being about crypto currency.
