New to Steemit but have spent the day soaking it all up and I'm absolutely mind blown.
What worries me about Steemit is that it is getting a lot attention in the crypto currency world, but few in the blog/social-network worlds are yet aware of its existence. When you look closely at how it all works, it should be setting the blogging world on fire, let alone the whole "internet marketing", "mmo" and work-from-home types.
Seems the cart is rather far ahead of the horse at the moment. Steemit really needs to break into the mainstream, and it should be about all the other great revolutionary stuff, not just the Steem currency.
For those of us who are impressed by Steemit and want it to succeed, what can we do to help? Bitcoin has its evangelicals, maybe Steemit needs them too.
I've started discussing it on Warrior Forum, Facebook, and YouTube. I noticed The Guardian had a piece on Steem yesterday, but again, I'd love to see the social network and blog side of things gather some eh.. "steem"
i just sent out 35 skype pm's to people i have known a long time that have no interest in the crypto market, including some tech players in travel and hotel markets.
I've been telling everyone about it. They all think I've lost my marbles.
