In the world as we know it, writing letters for the purpose of lobbying for something is a normal process.
So why aren't we writing to the exchanges we use asking them simple questions about "When they plan to have STEEM and SBD added to their USD Markets?"
I mean, really, what can they say?
"We don't know yet" or some other BS just to be polite and reply to us only to get rid of us....
What if like ten thousand people in 2018 send letters out to every single one of the trading platforms/sites out there!
Steemit has like over half a million users, we have over a million transactions daily, basically Steeemit is getting bigger and bigger every hour of every day.
SMTs are on their way, isn't that in itself enough incentive to put STEEM and SBD on their USD Markets.
But, as we see, there is nothing anywhere out there to date, they are all quite content to pump BTC and let Crypto that can change this world sit back and be dependent upon BTC.
One would almost think that they all have their hands in the cookie jar as far as BTC goes, but lets not be nasty or naughty here. After all, we need just one of the big time reliable international trading platforms out there to make STEEM and SBD available on their USD Markets and the rest shall have to follow suit or lose out!
So what to include in the email to them?
Why not keep it short and simple, i.e.
LETTER TO ______________ (Name of exchange)
___________________ Your user name
______________ (Date)
Subject: When shall you include STEEM and SBD on the USD Markets?
Dear Sir or Madam
I would like to introduce myself first. My username is ____________ and I would like to know when > you plan on adding STEEM and SBD to your USD Markets?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
____________(Your username)
I'm being deadly serious here, each and every one of us has the right to express ourselves and to ask these exchanges what they plan on doing as far as this topic goes.
Freedom of speech is considered to be a human right, so anyone that says "NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT" should think about those words. Who can stop you, me or anyone from asking a question?
Why would they oppose any consumer out there from asking companies legitimate questions?
Don't we as consumers have the right to know where we stand with these companies offering these services?
I think that we as consumers should take it upon ourselves to make it understood that we are in the market for a reliable Crypto exchange platform that has STEEM and SBD on the USD Market.
No, matter who says anything negative about this idea, remember one thing, When it happens both STEEM and SBD are two Cryptos out there with the potential of going up to the moon!
I'm a Steemian, I'm nobody's
Think about it, WHY NOT ask a few of the exchanges you use or know of.
After all, it is your right to do so if you think that you have a right to know the answer to the above question!
Steem on!
Jack
Yes we definitely have one of the strongest of not the strongest community of any crypto currency out there. Steem definitely deserves to be put on the USD markets and I agree with you we all need to make an effort to make sure the exchanges hear us.
Exactly, if we dan't ask, then they ASS+U+ME that we are OK with it!
Mate, spot on as usual.
I think we should all get T-shirts that say, I'm a steemian..I'm nobody's.xiatch!..and wear them for our catch-up photo's.
One of my followers is trying to do patterns and sell clothes etc - maybe we should all put in?
So, for us intraverts our shirts can speak for us as well.
Cheers for another great post!
Sounds like a plan!
Yeah you are very right. Steemit Ghana we have these T-shirts.
I've made a small research few days ago. 421380 new accounts were registered in 2017. Only 113620 accounts (27%) made at least 5 posts/comments.
But I like the idea. Some users already tried to to convince Steemians write a letter to add STEEM and SBD on some big exchanges. But you make it a little bit simpler with your letter template)
Customer relations is a very important aspect for all businesses, especially those that NEED US!
At here is the point. Big exchanges do not like small volume traded altcoins. And also their support is very-very poor (we can see a lot of complaints here on Steemit - people have problems with verification, account blocks, etc. And support even do not reply on their tickets).
Good idea really! I had the same question that why no one doing it! Steemit is the 2nd platform in blockchain which is used by users in the world! Steem and SBD are now two of important currencies, so trading it in USD or Euro should be available for us.
Im gonna write a letter and send them to exchanges that i know.
Excellent!
Good idea for a post mate and it would certainly bring down the brokerage / exchange costs of transacting in Steem. Me personally though - I am a hold on the blockchain powered up type man. How's this Steem price? Bet you are glad you bought some now. I know I am.

I think it's just a "good idea" for us consumers to practice our rights and ensure that the service providers "hear the voices of their daily bread and butter".
Yep, SammoSK, yourself and a few other people here were all for it back roughly 5 months ago, when I was still very very new here.
Since then, I have done more reading up on the relevant topics than what I have read in IDK how many years.
I can see STEEM going places, that is for sure.
Jack.
Now now chief. Lots of peeps out there getting all angry that steemit is not yet here it's not yet ranking here nor there like you said steemit has got potential to hit the moon so we all need to be patient. Still pretty new, though doing so much big things daily. Yes over a million users compared to the world population is still on the growing angle and still under observation. consumers do have right to air their views and voices when it's deemed right. One thing I will always believe and hold on to is this: steem/steemit time will come and when it does..no holding back. So coolit mate. ☺
It can't hurt, after all they (the various exchanges out there) make money off us, so we can ask them about their plans as far as putting us on the USD Market.
After all, they need to ensure that their customers are satisfied!
;)
I join everyone and support your initiative, it's worth it that together we did it!
If we succeed, it will simplify the translations and increase the value on Steem and SBD. But the most important thing is that even more users will be interested in this type of asset - this is what we need.
I've been on Steemit for a month, but I see all of its potential and already as a junkie - steemit :)
Good initiative, good idea @jackmiller
I tried writing Binance few weeks ago, they didn't respond. I think most of these exchanges already know there is a need for Steem and SBD. I wonder what is holding them back, I will keep writing. We need Steem to moon!
Power accumulates and people are that vacuum. We hit the button - We turn that thing on and off. We, the consumers, keep the exchange doors open and we close them when we leave.
My grandfather (rest his soul) always used to tell me that "the squeaky wheel gets the oil first." And he always clarified that complaining does shit; you must advocate what what it is that you want.
If a fraction of us reached out to every exchange, you'd see a chain reaction. I say why not?!
HOOAH!
Yeah.... U are right man. It our right to know their plans. At least they making something from us. I don't know the actual value they get from us but am very sure it is huge
this is a good initiative, if you get to add STEEM and WAS to the stock exchanges, it will give good growth and a sense of stability.
You simplified the task and even made a template. I'm going to support the initiative, because I believe that Steemit has high potential for development and needs to be supported
