While I didn't quite realize to what extent, I remember the realization that the technology would change things.
It seems like you are involved in a few interesting projects. I followed you and look forward to seeing your posts. I looked through a few of them...it appears like we agree on a lot of things. :)
I'm not familiar with 100K+ microbusinesses on the STEEM blockchain? @ned is a co-founder, correct?
The technology doesn't seem to be catching on as quickly in the United States. I invite so many people here (that I know would do well and be a benefit to the community); however, I think it's a little intimidating for someone who doesn't understand cryptocurrency.
You could well be correct. I think that is very much our job, to educate people, to show them that it really isn't that scary. The 100K + microbusinesses that @ned talks about was in one of his start of the year videos. I personally see that the STEEM blockchain, with its position as the biggest blockchain on the planet (which it is...it makes up around half of all global blockchain transactions) has the ability to really make things happen in the real world. Thanks for writing back, it's great to connect with loads of awesome likeminded people all across the globe!
