The biggest problem with such self-centric behavior is that we are merely building a (meta love) bubble.

Meta because anything steem related, love because isn’t it awesome you can actually make money this way.

The true shortsighted tho comes when no investor will come to the steem ecosystem and invest $5-20mm with a long-term perspective.

And why should they? The short term ROI is just too awesome, right. But that also means that we are building an unhealthy, foundationless ecosystem which can but collapse with the first quakes.

Quakes many, especially some of those "vertical interfaces" haven’t considered yet (nor have many blockchain zealots). Interesting times and it will boil down to whether Ned has the bottle or not.
