Hey @p0o,
I've personally brought all of these people to Steem: @ojaber, @geofftk, @jexblackmore, @businessrules, @snowmen88, @hiro14hiro, @spurious-claims, @timothy-archer, @sensei, @pryzmatic, @chrisczub, @matt-a, @kotturinn, @chernern, @rahulyadav, @kinnard, @treewalker @thread, @bkelly, and @slimysammy. Probably others that I've left out or forgotten.
I know that @lovejoy has been running Steem meetups in Minneapolis for some time now, and has had a considerable reach there.
@matt-a has been bringing in a lot of Appalachian folks, including @tommyinthesun, and @interpidthinker.
We are constantly evangelizing the platform, just last weekend I went out to a wealth management community group in a Detroit neighborhood called Jefferson Chalmers and explained to them what digital currency and STEEM is.
With napkin math I am almost certain that our reach has gone beyond 100. I've explained Steem to at least 40 people in just one setting (my previous workplace), and I've talked to many, many others about the opportunity. Not all of these translate into conversions into registered accounts, but hey, we're giving it a shot. I'm also going to be giving talks to introduce people to Steem and Graphene technology in the coming months, I've got two scheduled so far.
So to answer your question, I've been evangelizing Steem for a year now in my free time, and have just recently resigned from my full time position so I can focus full time on building products that will benefit the Steem ecosystem with our team pictured above. We will announce more about our first product in the coming weeks.
If you want to wait to see more until you vote for us (or consider doing so), that's your own choice. You're welcome to do as you please. :)
I hope this clears some things up for you!
@p0o I'm another person that Rob's brought in, 1st shared w/ me in person and then reiterated diff. benefits online...he shares great stuff about Steem, Bitshares, and Graphene tech like they're his babies!
Glad to see you here too, Kwaku!
