Hm can't say I agree entirely given that most people outside of the cryptocurrency world only know Bitcoin, it would take a massive shift in adoption. With that being said I am a great believer in the platform and it has a real chance to be one of the go to sites for content consumption.
Anyway appreciate your argument, good to read different points of view.
While that is true, this is the first year that STEEM has existed, and it has not been marketed at all. Despite that, we have thousands of new users signing up each day, and many more migrating from other networks here. XRP has been around for 5 years, LTC for over 8 I believe. ETH as well. Where will STEEM be in the next 5 given that we have a unique value proposition that is uniquely different from all other blockchains?
