Welcome to Steemit!
I think the problem you describe is one of the paradoxes of cryptocurrencies and revolutionary new technology in general.
The masses only get on board when lots of other people are on board.
It was similar in the early days of the internet - people just don't get it yet and it will take time for these concepts to infiltrate the common consciousness.
Rather than getting frustrated with it, we should just keep working on spreading the word.
Ultimately when cryptos do go mainstream we will reap the rewards by being here early.
