Killer marketing only works when you have a killer product AND a killer audience. Just ask Apple or Amazon. We have one, but not the other. We must refine our platform until we find our audience. Then we market like a maniac!!

I'm not suggesting a marketing blitz. Just having up to date information explaining the benefits of the Steem currencies and the superiority of the technology behind the steem blockchain, to attract potential businesses, users, and developers.
Steemit is undergoing many changes including rebranding so I am not suggesting to market it. Just to have information out there on the other aforementioned aspects of it to promote the growth and development of our blockchain.
Lets have both :) "ONWARDS! ...."
Love your pic/profile
Hello master commenter @baah. Welcome to my post. Yeah, I like the pic, but I'm still not sure about the profile yet!!
HAHAH you're hilarious, my wall of words don't make me a master, just outspoken ;P "well travelled philosopher & lover of damn fine coffee"
You cannot exclude the front end and focus on the concepts which the front end is a direct result of. So when you say:
To have information is paramount, agreed, but you can see why people are responding to the marketing aspect and rightly see it as motions without direction. I am in disagreement about disecting/fragmenting the function of steem into cryptocommodity, blockchain technology and front end/steemit because the blockchain means nothing without content creation, commodities means nothing without content creation and the epicenter has been and will always be social media, not cryptocommodity.
I believe the epicenter has always been the blockchain. The currencies and the social media platform are just extensions of this ever evolving blockchain.
How can you get more people interested into the blockchain but not into the platform which feeds the blockchain or exclusively of that?
Here is an outlined plan. The point is to synergistically increase the user base to the social media platform through promoting other aspects of the blockchain which would draw businesses, users, developers, and investors here.
If we can start creating content for these things, we will be ready to start rolling out community created content for promoting Steemit after its rebranding, and we will have the benefit of already having produced a plethora of content which explains the technologies and currencies tied into this social media platform.
-nesting limit-
It's a double edged sword: more blockchain tech content.
One side will drive people to adapt the steem blockchain for themselves, being developers and business
The other will fall back onto us and drive regular users away who look at the technology aspect of it and see it as foreign to them.
