I think crypto has no prob at all. The only problem is many country's government is not ready to adopt them because they don't want crypto to dominate their economy. Crypto increases globalization which will also increase the the cash outflow and inflow anonymously which governments don't want. When it comes to Steem. Steem is a wonderful project with a unique and powerful blockchain system. Steem doesn't require help. It is already a powerful currency. It only needs the support of of its community and we need to running the beautiful system. Advertising I think will forever remain a concern as there are no campaigners for decentralized apps.
