I like your proposal. I hope that @ned and @dan will reach to Medium. Today, I also posted about Fred Wilson of Union Ventures (Venture Capital Firm) comments on this very subject.

He thinks Steem is the answer, as well.
I tweeted the heck out of that one as well! Found @fredwilson on twitter, and he Liked my tweet...
He did? That's great. I hope others within his peer group start to notice the value of Steem and its potential.
change is slow.........
