Great read @surfermarly. My opinion is that people don't know what a blockchain's intended use in the first place is. It's set up so that everyone has a piece of it on whatever technology that their using and it's basically just a records keeping big file that cannot be manipulated without being noticed. Everything else is new files on the outside being added, for example steem.

And decentralised is a double edged sword. Or it has two halves let's say. It used to mean that people could do what they want without being traced or without interferance from outside sources. Most people don't mind that now but now it's taken on a different meaning. Basically what people want is to customize an app that makes it easy to post on a platform and make it look the way they want it to look and be quick and easy. Apps like steepshot have that right now but it could still use a tweek or two in order to mame it perfect.

Like it or not the wild west is pretty much over in the crypto world if we want mainstream adoption. The money will pour in once there checks and balances so that nobody get's away with stealing currency and the rest of the greed driven tricks. But the brightside to it all is your in on the ground floor and have a start to this new way of doing things. The regular public will be here soon enough so we have to do our best in order to set it up for them and hopefully it's interesting enough for them to want to join in, but it has to be made easy. Very easy or they won't partake in the festivities. And using the coins has to be not as conviluted and has to be stable. But other than that...let's have fun and keep on doing what we do best as content creators and sharers.
