I agree with you on pretty much all of the post bar one thing. I fully believe in the blockchain and what is being built on it right now. Every week we see a new project or app in the works showing how much potential is being linked to steem.
I think that it is such a flexible blockchain that it is perfect for building a multi level economy on with apps, games, writing payments etc all linking in together and becoming self sufficient. I wasn't early enough to buy a large stake and don't have the money to do it now but I am trying to build my account as much as possible through effort and topping it up when I can.
My only argument is against your timing. I just don't think we are fully ready for mass adoption yet as there is still no ease of use to the blockchain. For people coming in with no knowledge it is still very awkward to do anything here and can turn a lot of people off before they can see all of the benifits. If we ever see a streamlined version of the site and have an easy way to buy and sell steem then I think we really have a winner.

I wasn't ready to swim until my father threw me in the water and I learned to swim. Steem is different from BTC/ETH in the fact it is actually ready to handle the workload. Onboarding people, UI's, ETC are all things that are sink or swim. The more people that sign up the quicker devs will try to find ways to get them in faster. I think Steem needs to flex its muscles and show the world what it is really capable of, the strong dev teams will rise to the top when the challenge is placed.
I'm trying the best I can to spread the word on Twitter. I have 400+ steemers on my list here and will gladly add you if you are over there with a good presence.

Many talk a good game here, but there is very little promotion on other platforms. Aside from my own posts, I usually tweet and rt a few steemit posts from others each day. I have a hard time finding them, since people do not promite!
Since I have been here, (1.5 years) I have around 800 non-steeming crypto connections on twitter now. This is up from zero before I got here since I am a natural weight loss coach and had never been in crypto before steem. Those crypto people give me a lot more twitter action than my steeming friends.
It's really nice to see you here with such a large stake. Things have been pretty discouraging and you bring me hope.
