I am from Argentina and I share some of your thoughts ( love you country by the way, i did my thesis in Tarbes, Midi-Pyrénées) , but here are some tips:
Steem and steemit is yet very very very new
You can compare with facebok but is not a new social media, its a disrruptive one, is onother creature, it will take time and they can co-exists, think that in the early beginnings of internet, people would think which 5 webs would you use more, and if you see now there are millons of web and each person uses houndresds of them for differents things, same thing will happen with blockchain, there is no winner or no five wonners, there will be houndreds...
Also, I started to post in english because the community at it most speaks that language, but later on there will be a place for each other, so I will star posting in my native language and you should too, it is very googd that you are one of the "firsts" french people on steem, you are a pioneer!
à bientôt!!
Also, the elit people here have Thousands of posts, so, when we reach that quantity and also with their quality we could see if that is the true, which I don´t know now, but thats the only way to know..
AH Tarbes ! I did my studies at the university of Pau !
What a small world ! WE have to keep contact am foloowing you now !
I will also post in french soon and I think that everyday I will have a look at the newcommers and give them a thumbs up , after all if steem wants more people how about making them feel welcome and giving them a little power up ! I think that would be just faire ..... A bientôt mon steemami ;)
Sorry for the delayed answer! Yes, suere! Pau! My french profesor lives there Thierry Coudert, and I remember the Castle! Beautifull there!! à la prochaine aussi mon steemami !!!
