I would like to know the answer to whether steemit will still be around in mid 2018 in the same form? Like many minnows, I too would like to invest in steem but I see a lot of bad factors like whale wars, whales powering down, some users misusing the system with a lot of rewards per post and so on. For example, a user writes a para or so about what they ate for breakfast and the post gets a huge upvote while a well researched article hardly gets noticed and would be lucky to get a dollar. Is that not bad for the system?
