Here is my take: first of all I have only been here a few days. I was given 10 Steem Power. Value stated $5.00.

I have posted a few posts myself, provided feedback to other and up voted a lot. I have almost increased the value of my Steem Power by 10X. I am just a little guy starting out. I would say that's pretty good to say the least. Others would say that not enough.

I agree with you on the next big guys will step up and keep this thing going. They will grow the categories by up voting things just to add validity to the category. They all have, the several different levels of big guys, a vested interest into continuing to build the site. I completely believe this.

And please don't forget this thing is in Beta still. This is still evolving and they are adding things you can see and things you can't see. Under the hood if you will.

Be happy your in the beta and are on the ground floor. You will see, as many others, this is for real.

Thanks for the post. The entire thing is very interesting and a great topic of conversation. Good luck.
