Musing.io is first and foremost a decentralized and an immutable community platform. This means that musing profits when the community profits. We need to remember that musing.io is very new and still in the investment stage. This is the time to for them to monitor growth and stick to their business and investment model. Profits will come later.
Although it doesn't mean that musing.io is not profitable. The platform is running successfully and establishing itself is a Dapp to be reckoned with a continually growing user base. The profitability of musing can be divided in two ways.
1. Community growth
Like any new and growing platform musing.io is at a stage where growth is far more important than monetary profit. The growth of user base signifies that the platform would be of importance to the community. Greater is the growth, greater would be the significance of musing.io for this community.
This increased level of utility of musing, both on and off the Steem blockchain ensures that the platform would become self-sustainable and profitable in the coming future.
2. Income/Token profitability
Now we are talking in terms of money or amount of Steem tokens or SBD. This primarily would come through the curation rewards that musing gets through upvoting their users.
Please keep in mind that these rewards are still insignificant to what has already been invested into the platform. At this moment in time, earning profits through curation is probably not even a priority for the musing team. I say this because as an entrepreneur, I understand that this is the time to nourish the platform and not extract value from it.
