so why not appreciate each individual for the way they are instead of forcing them to convert, and bully them economically if they don’t. Aren’t we paying now for the disregard society had shown towards Tesla’s efforts?

Yes we are social beings, and just because an introvert contribute through their work and effort instead of chatting or immediate social interaction doesn’t mean they are being anti-social. I wittiness many chatter boxes who act in very antisocial manners.

also, a chat program built on top of the steem engine sounds like a fantastic idea to mobilize the currency.

suggestion:

burn inactive accounts to release the pressure on the remainder of the system and could help appreciate the currency.
