I had a read over the white paper and will post my thoughts on some of the positives an negatives. I think the obvious part t this is, Steem gives content writers the ability to make money they should earn with out no one in the middle. Take for instances the music industry. By the time u release ur Album there are many hands feed off your creation. The other part to this is we really need to get the steemit site up to the same point as Facebook or Twitter. I think once Smart Tokens are out this will be the next barrier, or will other token creators do this, given Ned has come to this conclusion.
Stay tuned.
