Oh I absolutely think STEEM has value after all of the hype is dead. DTube as a good alternative for YouTube especially. I think Steemit is here to stay, if we can get the social aspect (comments, conversation, etc.) To be site wide, not just as an effort to get the attention of whales. That's the reason I like to browse the New section rather than trending. Great place to start good conversations about interesting topics.

First I've heard of oyster chain, that's a pretty cool concept. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the way the blockchain theoretically changes economics. It looks like it could be so different from the way business has traditionally operated on the web. Real excited to see how it all plays out.
