I am also inspired by Hive account@roelandp's work, but I want to suggest that you realize there are always risks, not just with Steem but with any company, project or goal.

I personally think Steem as a blockchain and cryptocurrency will succeed and eventually thrive, but I think it is somewhat delusional to believe there is no way that Steemit Inc. or Steem as a platform and blockchain can fail Hive account@vladivostok.
