I think it's the way of the future. As automation picks up more labour, platforms like steemit will form the economies of the future. Another interesting platforms I have found is LBRY which you can check out at http://lbry.io/get/?r=bc9su
It's interesting to think that we can create wealth directly, and not rely so much on other governing forces. So how long do you think traditional currencies like the dollar will be around? (If it ever does go away) What do you think future economies will look like?
