Heh. I had this posted and received an "error" So the following is what I had replied to you before the edit.

The difference is Steemit (the company) and Steem (the blockchain) the blockchain is pretty damned solid. The company drags their feet and over-promises and under-delivers. Current Steem (currency) distribution is awful. We were promised SMTs were going to be released back in March. It never happened. The endgame is nothing more than staying where many people have already decided they like to be and offering an alternative payout system.
