A good post. But posting this here, albeit necessary as not everyone knows all this here, is preaching to the choir. What everyone needs to do is to go out to mainstream platforms and set the record straight if they encounter blatantly false information about Steem. Much of what little information there is out there on Steem - even in the wider cryptocommunity - tends to be, in @theycallmedan's words, dog shit. It is begging to be corrected. There are tens of thousands of us. That's enough to have an impact in the long run.

I've been told that marketing Steem to the masses is unnecessary as Steem is infrastucture only and of interest to developers at best. I disagree to the extent that Steem has a bad and mostly undeserved image problem among people in the crypto space, too. So, wherever Steem and Steem apps are talked about, please do get yourself up to speed about the basics, if need be, and the most important developments, and simply correct any false information you see spread out there. If everyone does that for a year, our chain and the STEEM price should be in a lot better shape than it is now.
