I also read a few articles about the project, the idea is very powerful, let's hope that the implementation will be just excellent.
Yes, i can see there are too many interesting areas to look forward to in the project, although, like you rightly pointed out, i hope it scales through. I am Anticipating!
It would be nicer if the project has its own blockchain as it would be like Steem blockchain. And a community of freelancers having their portfolio curated and serving as a repository to scout for talents. I think Linkchain can handle this as I suppose it's a platform that can scale.
