Ha, i thought of writing something like "steemmonsters will buy the first ads", but i'm not really sure that would be a good use of money since we use our VP to get everyone else to advertise on Steem for us!
The other thing to consider is - with a limited userbase of ~60k per day, (and I'm not sure how many of these are bots) - what sort of Advertiser would want to throw their money at this? (Outside of the crypto-sphere, that is)
Well it's a small but very targeted audience, and even just inside the crypto-sphere there's plenty of advertising money being thrown around that would be perfect for the Steem audience.
Advertising is one thing. Another is corporate accounts. I'd be overjoyed if some camera manufacturer organized a photography contest and rented SP to reward the contestants one day. That would take an established community of photographers here with sufficient numbers centered around some great photography app. The community building aspect of Steem is perfect for targeting ads.

This is exactly what the @oracle-d project is trying to sell. That's the real value behind holding Steem Power.
I started playing that, or, trying to, still trying to figure it out, when @merlin7 mentioned it to me with one of her micropayments.
