i believe this too. I may be wrong on steem, but one of its competitors is the real prize. Bitcoins literally was only made to be a proof of concept for what was meant to be the backbone for smart contracts(blockchain). People always call me crazy but you can literally look up the date that Szabo first wrote about smart contracts and it actually predates his writings on blockchain.

Bitcoin is great, but thats all it was ever meant to be was a proof of concept, just like with steemit, eventually we will all have to move on, if we want the dream to become reality
