I'm glad you decided to give [Steemit](https://steemit.com/steemit) a second chance [@wakeupkitty](https://steemit.com/@wakeupkitty).   Seems like each of us must find our way, as well as our "voice", or what we want to talk about.

When I speak of adoption, I mean the general acceptance by the masses.  Getting new users into the system and familiar with cryptocurrency in general.  

I really appreciate your last point, if content remains on the blockchain forever, but no one is reading it, what is the value.  Well, I'm not sure anything is forever.  I believe we will see that blockchains come and go.  And while I hope [Steemit](https://steemit.com/steemit) sticks around, you never know.  

But that was not really your point.  I think you were driving at the value of the content if no one is viewing it.  And that is a good question.  When I first joined [Steemit](https://steemit.com/steemit) I read a lot of old posts.  And even voted on a number of them, unfamiliar with the 7 day payout model.  I did get value out of the older posts.  But, the [Steemit](https://steemit.com/steemit) financial model was designed around a very short view up front.  Effectively pushing everyone for new content.  Good or bad, that is the way it is.  

I recently blogged about a [A New Curation Paradigm for Steemit](https://steemit.com/steemit/@guysellars/a-new-curation-paradigm-for-steemit).  A witness, [@holger80](https://steemit.com/@holger80), has a utility that will allow you to effectively curate, send a reward to, posts that have passed the 7 day period.  Personally I think this is great, but I doubt it will have a big impact on the [Steemit](https://steemit.com/steemit) model.  But if you really want to reward an older post you can.  

Sorry, I think this response was more a ramble.  But, I always appreciate you dropping by and your comments.  Thank you [@wakeupkitty](https://steemit.com/@wakeupkitty).  Have a great day.
