Thanks for this post man. Cryptocurrency and blockchain topics fascinate me but also tend to go over my head. There are just so many ideas which are all so different than the established thinking that has essentially calcified in a lot of our heads. This broke the topic down rather than just breaking my brain. Steem is the first project I'm really investing time in to understand beyond what is needed just for trading and I don't think I'll be coming out of the rabbit-hole anytime soon.
