I do hope you're not forgetting that someone needs to buy Steem for it to have value. Advertise to people who will buy Steem.

@heretickitten, agreed! And there's a pretty complex story there, in and of itself.
Most alt coins have pretty much no economic reason for existing other than being "revolutionary" and "on the blockchain." Sure. Great. So WHAT? What does that mean to me, when it's at home?
Steemit (at least) has this content platform, which trades in Steem. I am super happy to see the various initiatives (SteemShop, SteemGigs, etc) that are now being developed to help create a Steem based economy. In turn, when we suggest to someone they should invest in Steem... we will have differentiation for an investor considering putting theit fiat or BTCs into "MysteryCoinX" or Steem.
In order for Steem to "mainstream" we also have to present the investment potential of the coin in terms the mainstream understands. "Transactions per second" may mean something to a Blockchainiac but is meaningless to a more mainstream investor. "We have an active economy using the currency!" might actually sell in Kansas. Or Middle Piddleville. And there (just my take) is where the "value" gets added.
