well, the comment from sneak and I also think the whole reason for this post has to do with your big aim.
to translate nerd to human.
I focus on helping explain the technical things in simple terms so more people can understand what this place is all about and set their expectations appropriately.
and the thing is that sometimes things get lost in translation.
Everyone is focusing on the fact what @sneak said about the 100 million users but this also is something I think is where there was a case of mistranslation.
Its more like he is working for a bright future for this platform and its not that he does not care for the users now but is focused on creating a better future for those here and those to come (my translation)
I personally think I got lucky that I just stumbled onto steem about a year ago and did not have any expectations. I was not lured here with promises of wealth.
And I tried to learn about this wonderful technology and am still learning.
This is also why I promote steem a lot at our meetups and will do at our conference. I have faith that even though its in "beta" it keeps improving.
It is also part of the reason why I have set up (with some others)@steemwitness. I believe in the future of this blockchain and want to get more involved. Instead of buying crypto I am renting a server and securing this blockchain. (for the moment we are still red but we are hopeful that this will turn green the longer we are here and the more we prove we are here to help and support)
