Steemit is a community currency, the more you interface and interact with it the richer the community, both figuratively and literally (due to the tied currency attached to it).
The danger is if it becomes too niche and entangled within it's own bubble.
The opportunity is it turning into something more akin to Medium rather than Facebook. It would be a perfect way to enrich and reward authors and curators.
