I was just thinking today about how nuanced and complicated this system has become, even just in the time that I’ve been here. I joined to post music, photos, and videos, along with whatever creative writing came along in the process. In other words, B.: A decentralized social media platform. However, since I joined about 10 months ago, we have seen the advent of Actifit, SteemMonsters, MagicDice, DrugWars, etc., all of which shift the focus for many people away from balls-to-the-wall content creation and curation, and more towards usable and interesting dapps that give STEEM various forms of new use-cases. So ultimately, all of the above and more!
Hey, @k0wsk1.
That's my thinking, as well. I think the social media part of STEEM can attract more users, as well as the gaming side, but ultimately, STEEM needs to go far beyond even the online or digital realms. It needs portals to the real world. There really could be all kinds of things transacting on STEEM, so that STEEM becomes a universally accepted digital currency. :)
