I'm still not being clear. This post has nothing to do with Steem specifically. My comment about Dream meant just go ahead and replace Steem with Dream in the post; it changes nothing. I did not mean to imply that Dream is a Steem fork. I probably should never have used the name "Steem" in the original post as it confuses things.
On the matter of outcompeting and generally competing, I agree with you of course. You've been around Steem for a long time, as have I. I'm sure we are both well aware of many of the obvious areas needing improvement.
