This is a great post, lots of info and links.

WhereIn sounds like a great idea, targeting China. STEEM is really behind making an impact worldwide, a lot of opportunities wasted, yet if STEEM could only get 0.01% in developing countries that would be a huge boost to where things are now.

Thank you @clumsysilverdad.

WhereIn is going to be an interesting one to watch. China is a big market.

... yes, big !! 😜
