"And that's probably where most of steem's potential growth lays."

Not really! They may be initially interested in joining Steemit to make money from curating articles, but as soon as they discover that it is impossible to do so, without investing in a lot of Steem Power, they will leave just as quickly as they come. Also, they will not have the money to buy a significant amount of Steem even if they wanted to.

I have seen a few charitable organizations on steemit trying to promote photography and other work by accounts from countries with wrecked economies.
