RE: JOKES ASIDE (Part I) - Don't sell 'Steem Power' as 'money!'
*(i)Steem power achievement levels. E.g. You could start wearing 'armband', graduate to ‘swimmer’, progress to ‘dophin, then ‘whale’, ‘steemboat’, ‘steemship’, ‘steemliner…. whatever. Sounds silly but giving incentives outside of $$ for people to want to collect and keep Steem power would appeal to a certain demographic.
Really like this idea. This would be fun.
Outside of that. People already on the site as of today understand the crypto part of it. Showing the $$ amount beside the post would draw people initially I am sure, but frustration when realizing that isn't theirs in entirety, or exactly what to do with it. Wouldn't it be easier to a person looking for a social networking outlet to have it represented with a steem symbol? Those who see it as a $ value, doesn't change how it's perceived, but would also serve as a badge for someone more focused on the social messaging aspect.
Yeah, replacing $ with Steem icon sounds really right. May be the dev team will implement that in the future soon. I hope @dantheman notices this.
