I 100% agree that the Steem blockchain is merely an undiscovered gem. For years, the community has been saying things like "we need more marketing" etc, but little has been done by Steem Inc, so now it's up to us, the users.
I truly love what @yabapmatt and @aggroed has done with Tron cross-chain promotion of Steem Monsters! They have already brought many users from Tron over to Steem, and I've personally taught a few users how Steem works in terms of RCs, VPs, SP, witnesses and much more which is how I know there truly are new users here.
I know the price of STEEM has been really tanking lately and not gonna lie, I didn't think we'd see STEEM under $0.30 again yet here we are. Times are tough for STEEM holders but price shouldn't worry you if you truly believe in the blockchain and you're still in the accumulation phase. However, if the prices do worry you, you're likely over-committed and should reconsider your position.
Excellent points @cryptoeater.
We do still have an on-boarding problem that needs to be addressed at some point in a big way. There is no way to add tens of thousands of users even if we marketed the hell out of this. People would sign up and have to wait months to get approved.
The Steem-Engine crew is doing a lot. They are putting pieces in that are fundamental to us moving forward.
Ironically, even Steemit Inc is stepping up to the plate.
