I like the concept of steemit as a platform. My post was about crypto in general. There was a time when acceptance appeared to be expanding for Bitcoin. Now it appears to be contracting. The fees are excessive. Converting to USD on a card gives you an outlet but does nothing to justify the existence of the 2nd party currency. I get that it is in alpha or beta, but to be truly useful, a market that utilizes the currency is necessary. Incentives for vendors that accept the currency are necessary
