RE: Quick Update Regarding User Retention
A lot of people are complaining and panicking, I know Steemit will grow, changes are being made. Things are improving. People need to
CALM DOWN!
I'm glad you posted this!
Most just panic because of the price.
Here I panic cause I can't purchase more steem currently. :P
Haha - Kaylin and I already had the "who cares about the price in Beta just stick with it for the long haul" talk on our pages, knowing it's going to grow exponentially with real users in no time. What I can't wait for is an interface to buy more Steem that's "so easy a caveman can do it!"
Right now I'm stuck waiting 7 days for my $25 to get from my bank to Coinbank's system to buy Bitcoin, then convert that to Steem. If my cyber-defense buddy (seriously, what he does for a living) hadn't walked me through the Coinbase/Bitcoin/Steem transaction via FB messenger, Id've probably been too scared to even try. I know it's all coming tho because the community is making it happen. I'll be patient.
I wish I could even finish up signing up for my Coinbase account, it won't fricken accept my verification ... I tried taking pictures with my phone, webcam, and a Nikon 5300 with no luck, and their customer service was of no use.
Anyone got any suggestions for a good service to go between bitcoins/usd and steem??? I mostly want to buy some steem to power up with.
Well if coinbase is bringing no joy, consider circle.
The good news is the reason for the concern and excitement is that apparently a lot of people really do care what happens to steemit. I like that...
I agree, I think the mainstream audience just needs some time and maybe a little nudge for them to realise the potential benefits of a platform like Steemit could have on society and humanity. Also there needs to be a fundamental shift in thinking, which can be difficult for mere mortals like myself. I agree that we need to just give it some time and see where this vision takes us. In the mean time let's enjoy our status here as an early adopter guys and contribute to the community in whatever way we can! As I suspect things might change a bit when everyone else arrives :)
agreed!
