Steem and crypto, in general, are far from becoming mainstream. Shouldn't even be the focus right now. I'm more concerned about distribution. Keeping the people here help enough to continue doing what they do and being their friends and probably telling other people about this blockchain. Steem-engine is meeting that goal. On steem engine, new tribes are building their ecosystem. Most of it is myopic but it would be great to see a tribe do better, which cannot be ruled out, and seek to attract over users outside the steem ecosystem.
The crypto sphere is basically speculative. There are highly any genuine projects within this sphere, steem is not an exception.
Steem is hard to get for a newbie and rightly so. This is not just a social platform, you have your wallet(money) in it and all these measures and protocol are not going to be simplified anytime soon, well except we start using some form of biometric security measure to access our accounts and funds.
I don't want millions of people and investment here with the mess we have. We need to decentralize further, have a healthier distribution, look at generating revenue (my preferred option would be ads) then maybe we will attract more eyes. But making things easier to understand is quite unlikely, not in the nearest future.
