Indeed, Steemit blockchain is growing rapidly and In the near future it'll be worth more. If we talk about karma points on reddit, then there's no monetary value to them and I think the steemit is only successful because of the monetary value of steem tokens. Take them back, steemit won't even exist after sometimes. Steemit is good platform but more importantly for those who have a major following on social media, or those persons who are coding for steemit or curators and witnesses. For a normal person, It is just another platform with a little bit monetary value.
In one has to improve the steemit, then he should give more powers to minnows or at least start some automatic bots which can vote for quality content or the content which is at least original.
I am thinking for some investment in steemit but looking at steemit nowadays, I don't think it would be a wise choice. I want to grow some audience and I am working hard to bring good quality in my content. Rest I just hope, everrything goes on the right way.
Anyways, good luck for your work @exyle. You're doing a pretty good job so far.
