RE: MAJOR Steemit & dTube Mainstream Media Promotion Initiative
I agree meno.
I think we all should be motivated to grow the platform.
That being said I do not think we can stress enough that it should be a platform that we use incessantly to get information from, interact with others, learn about different subjects, share some of our expertise about different types of niches etc..etc..
I think for it to be successful we cannot just write articles about Steem, blockchain, how to grow steem followers etc.. ( Btw, it was cool to see Jerry Banfield today talking about Gardening :) )
It has to be bigger than that. Of course that is part of it and a major factor in growing it but think of a place where people come to get and share information from Gardening to losing weight to getting your hair done and of course info. on being successful on the Steem platform.
But ,imho, we must think big.... i.e. Steemit as a huge efficient aggregate of interesting ,helpful , and educational content across many subjects.
You are right on Robert, but in my opinion the process of fine tuning the content, that is of growing in quality, needs to be preceded by a healthy amount of active people using the platform.
If we had a blockchain with only 5000 users, it would be a hard sale to pitch, to say that the coin is worth more than mere cents, but if we grow to millions of active daily users, a high valuation is almost a given.
There will be a stage where promoting steemit might be, and I will say might, not as important, or at least not priority #1.
We are at about 60k active users a day, the number, as impressive as it might sound, it's actually pretty small, it needs to triple, quadruple if we ever want to see a steem catch up to BTC's growth.
But i'm not disagreeing with you.
