I don't think any other crypto project has affected humanity the way steem has done, is doing and will do. It is a bit surprising to see that such gang-up is going on the the crypto subreddit. If a project like Nano could be getting such hype, I think steem should be getting multiples of those hype. Something fundamental seems not to be right.
Having said that, Nigeria is one country where steem is relatively popular among the youths and a lot is being done to promote the platform and even bring in investors from the rich political class. A fork of SF named steemit in Nigeria takes place every year and this year's own is coming up between 30th October and 4th November. The Nigerian community of steemstem stemng also carried out promotion related activities sometimes last July and we still have more planned in the not so far future.
I hope other countries can do the same. Well said Acidyo
Yes, I am glad that it is becoming bigger in developing countries more, even if that means a lot of sell pressure short term - those are the unbanked people that need this technology more than the rest. Once we start having merchants accepting Steem there directly which removes most fees people will start to feel the real power of our blockchain!
