I think the biggest strength of Steemit is the reward system. You can get Steem or SBD by posting something on the Blockchain. Yet, I'm not sure whether this will be our 'USP' in the future too. There are already platforms using a similar concept like ONO, ucommunity etc and more are coming. A big thing which kept me personally on Steem is Utopian and Steemstem. They provide an opportunity to earn more Steem and SBD, so there is a better time-spending/reward ratio. Furthermore they have a exceptional huge and inspiring community. Even though I really like writing about personal stuff or things I figured out in my life, there is nothing more disappointing then writing for countless hours and then receiving a few cents and comments from a bots only. You see, I don't care as much as about the reward, because it is so low currently, I rather really enjoy receiving meaningful comments on my posts. It is somewhat as addictive as on Instagram or Facebook. Last but not least, I'm here for the people and the community. I want to figure out where the path with Steem is going and I want to be a part of it by bringing in my knowledge and skills. Yesterday I was at our monthly Meetup in Austria - we were about 8 people, not much compared to a few months ago. Today I read all the beautiful articles about our meetup, all having different views on how they experienced it. I think that is the real power. Knowing someone in real life and then seeing this person performing on the Blockchain. At the end, I want to thank @partiko for developing its wonderful app, in my opinion the best dapp out there. Hope this helps you in any way. Besides I'm a big fan of your work!
