I love the idea of a Fact sheet ( cheat sheet ) great idea Justine and good to start a discussion. If you need me to make it pretty I have a graphic designer that can help.
I was thinking you right it is hard to explain things that offer so much. I mean just imagine trying to explain the internet ?
I suppose it is best to hit on one or two points and see if it catches their interest.
For me it’s special as it was my bridge to the crypto world. I wanted no part of bitcoin, it was confusing and overwhelming..
We've always said Steem is the normies of crypto if done right. You and I have been both preaching it for awhile. As for Bitcoin it was an interesting beast back in the day . I got involved in in 2011 and watched the community create what it is and have come to the conclusion you need a community around this technology to move it forward. Most people don't know but without forums like btctalk we probably don't have much to do with Bitcoin in the way people know about it today. One of the main reasons I'm here is new technology can't launch without a community.
Steem is clearly built to launch whatever dapp, technology it wants through its communities which is Golden in my opinion. Built in marketing. I know this is top level stuff and we need to drill down in the technology which you address in the questions below.
One factoid I'll leave here is it provides a real safe place to keep your funds via the "savings" mechanism. By having a lock up'd function which can only be released in 3 days it provides the necessary protection of funds.
As we've seen with crypto hacks , seems everyone is getting hack these days! It would be nice tout ourselves as a fairly safe place to keep funds. Not sure many online wallets offer this?
I'll circle back around answer some of the questions you proposing here. Great questions to try to tackle.
Happy thanksgiving to you and let's go enjoy some pumpkin pie! <3
