@whatsup posted eight questions about Steem. Since I am uniquely unqualified for such an open book test, I’m letting my alter ego @unpreparedwombat handle this one:

Whose job is it to bring value to Steem?

All of us.

For most, this simply means being active. Post, comment, curate. Wash, rinse, repeat. This slowly builds community and provides more content to be noticed by search engines. Google notices activity. Activity improves search engine listing results. Build it and they will come.

For some, bringing value to the Steem blockchain means building DApps, becoming another of the 100,000 entrepreneurs that @ned sees in Steem’s future.

Whose job is it to get us added to exchanges?

@ned’s hair.

Whose job is it to attract and retain new-users?

Increasingly, this job will fall to DApps that are now able to onboard new users. New users coming to Steemit.com enter a confusing landscape. The Steemit site has only barely been updated since it launched. Many experienced community members now only rarely use it for anything other than wallet functions.

Where does the money come from?

Blind faith. Belief. A hope and a prayer. The greater fool theory. Steem has value because people believe it has value. Exactly the same as with Federal Reserve Notes.

What sets the price of Steem?

The Bavarian Illuminati.

What role can/do you play in building the economy of Steem?

Currently, as a third-rate blogger. The Steem blockchain is still mostly about blogging. But that’s changing. Going forward, it will be more about DApps. Then, my role will be more as an investor. Which DApps will I support with my Steem Power?

What is Steem's greatest strength?

Decentralization.

What is Steem's greatest weakness?

Decentralization.
