Its a nice idea.
I do however believe we need to figure out why people do not engage enough on steem. We have a use retention issue. So i think there is something at the core of steem that need fixing.
I think there are already things being worked on: steemports as an example will be a great way to allow outside money to come into the eco system.
Overall we need to find ways how outside money can enter the ecosystem and reward all of the users that provide value.
