Steemit can be very useful in many ways including helping micro businesses grow, it can be much more consistant than most currency's, also it is free.
I believe that steem power has become one of the most financial, and economic ways of growing you business. I mean, Its just like Facebook. But, when you post an article you earn some digital currency. This is one of the best platforms I have seen and also can help many small financial businesses grow. The harder you work the more you earn! Manyarticles explain bitcoin, Kryptocoin, etc. being some of the top currency's on the market but these currency's cant really improve small businesses. And that is exactly what Steemit changes, this currency is probably one of the best ways to improve online businessess, especially those without access to banks at all.
Steemit can also be very consistant. Because you dont have to watch the prices of the currencys go up and down like stocks. Steem Power(SP) will just keep rising and rising. plus this is just the start of Steemit, Once more people have gone on steem the price of this SP will rise enormously because of the rato of people to SP. And congrats to the ones that have been buying SP when it was undervalued.
It's also a killer app, in my opinion. The rewards distribution just needs to scale well enough at the moment. But like any coins out there, mining becomes more difficult. But at least we've a very good community here at the moment that tries to look out for each other, especially those producing great materials and just generally being good actors in the network.
Steem Power within a year should drascticly go up around 30 to 40 dollars with its early stage, and very minimum users.I think steem is the gold standard right now. But it is relatively stable. It has massive room for growth, and steemit is an awesome platform for content creators.
One of the best things that Steemit is good for is blogging. In the article "Blogging for Beans: A Coffee Venture for the Steem Community" by 
All in all, Steemit can be very useful in many ways and can a lot of businesses grow in many ways.
