I agree, it doesn’t make much sense that these coins beat Steemit to be on the prestigious platform that is Coinbase. It does seem like their marketing strategies are lacklustre to say the least. It’s almost like they expect their third parties to do all the legwork.

You are also right that they are sitting on too much wealth, I read an ancient medium article about a scandal with Steem and how they delayed public mining by pretending to be open source but the code was wrong and the public couldn’t make nodes or something.

STINC defs has its own eyes wide shut type Illuminati and they don’t think making nifty little YouTube videos or better yet, all the airdrops you refer to, is in their best interest.
