STEEM & SBD were what I was ref. to as far as passing away is concerned.

We can learn from the past, if we want to.

As for the human readable data on the chain, that is a different game, with an entirely different set of rules to the cryptocurrency market and the games of currencies/economics.

I hope many people learned a lesson from the past on Steem, when everything was equated to steemit.com.

Steemit.com can utilize the chain, not a problem.

Steemit.com can utilize the cryptocurrencies on the chain, not a problem.

But steemit.com is not the be all, end all of everything that the chain has to offer to this world.
Nor can the currencies and the economics be imprisoned into a jail cell of one niche.

Many saw it all go to hell, let's not do a rerun of the past hoping for a different ending.
