Always look forward to you posts @protegeaa. I have been playing around with both Steemit and Busy.org and like some of features of both. Hopefully they keep building it out building functionality. I am not too worried about EOS until they actually get something running. They will most likely be fighting the same issues that Steem does with spam and those who impose their visions with massive down votes.
People are willing to take Steem for payment, infact I just posted about shipping 1 oz of silver for 6 shares of SteemBasicIncome (SBI). Will be great to see what else gets developed for STEEM.
