I agree with the article and your thoughts on Steemit. It has a solid foundation and daily users of the platform which as long as this continues to grow STEEM and STEEMIT will be successful. Another item that will greatly help Steemit grow is if the content quality increases overall as more quality content will attract more users/readers to the platform which will help all members of Steemit and STEEM grow. Also the development of APPs such as Steemmonsters will attract users who want to play games like this which will add to the user base as Steemit has not had such things before. I would say the more quality/interesting and useful APPs that are added will be one of the keys to its success. I also agree that there are a lot of garbage tokens out there with nothing more than a dream and no plan of execution.
