Thx for the reply Stephen and I like your vision!
As you mentioned in the blog marketing is the way forward.
As we are still in the very early stages and most startups 90% fail not talking about crypto % might be higher, I think all possible safeguards need to be taken place to make sure that
the price of Steem thus the marketcap is protected up to a certain level as otherwise the reward system is pretty much useless. The main appeal right now is that everyone has a chance to make a little bit of money. The lower the marketcap the less appeal Steemit wil have imo.
In the meantime getting your family/ friends involved to have a go at Steemit is probably one of the strongest ways of spreading Steemit apart from getting some famous people over to start blogging on here.
