Thank you for the input! I appreciate it! :) I agree, for some of the cryptos, the barrier is definitely too high and for others, there's too much of a learning curve or you have to constantly do multiple market analyses (I believe that's the plural of analysis?) and research on what they're shifting their platform toward, to know if their future is going to be bright. Here on steemit, basically you get a nice introduction to a new currency on a new platform and it's explained at least 100x, 100 different ways (if you search through the posts, especially the higher-quality ones) so you never feel lost. Plus, if you have questions, there's a whole community ready to assist you and send you positive vibes.
Honestly, also, converting and powering up/down to cashout/invest isn't that hard to comprehend at all! So it's a wonderful way to introduce people to a thriving new world.
Thanks again for your input! :)
