For now it seems people just want use and be active on multiple platforms. With Ono coming up only time will tell as that is only one that so far looks like only relative competitor. There coins will be used to buy advertisement that authors than can choose to run or not on their blogs. They are going be extremely aggressive and want reach 8 million users by Q1 of 2019. They plan to migrate off ETH and onto EOS when that is an option for them. Many plan to at least be using it while trying to still be active here.

I intend for now to be here since I enjoy comments and steemit ecosystem is more set up for that kind of thing.
