The plight of every steemit user.

Welcome all to the trendiest cryptocurrency with a market cap of approximately 1/10 of reddit, with 1/10000 of the users.

That gap is filled with excitement about this platform (through the roof excitement).

At the same time I think we've all got worries about this platform, too. I wanted to make a place where those concerns could be voiced, so I will try to curate a list. Place and upvote comments below to fill out the list. (Or, post your own in #steemit-potential).

Without further ado, I present you our plights:

Steemit minnow

• content, navigation to good content
• fairness of rewards
• UI; lack of substeemit, follow, notifications, private messages;
• trending=whale-upvoted
• advertising through greater mixtures of affiliate marketing and content creation

Steemit investor and Steemit whale

• illiquidity of steem power
• SBD vs. high inflationary instruments (e.g. leveraged positions)
• copy-cats / reddit gold / yours
• security
• traffic

Steemit developers

• attacks - DDoS, script insertion (solved)
• liquidity incentive attacks (disabled)
• ... (https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues)

Social media giants

• Steem as competition

Advertiser

• having to share profit with content creators
