What I find interesting about steem and steemit is that it is the only cryptocurrency that is viable for star trek society, or as they are known "post-scarcity society".
That is the revelation that hit me. There are many cryptos out there and some of them are great for our current society, but steem is the only one which is useful to a society that replaced labor with automation. When the ASIC that is mining bitcoin is only worth as much as the materials that are needed to produce it (or maybe just the amount of energy needed to create it from energy), mining it becomes a little bit silly. Not to mention, that the labor needed to take care of the server farms can be automated as well. While the waste of resources will not matter that much in such a society, it will still be wasteful.
Steem, on the other hand, is creating the currency by rewarding people who will be the only ones that cannot be replaced by automation - the content creators.
So to post-scarcity society which only really cares about creative labor steem would be the perfect currency.
The federation uses steem? Do you? :D
