Thank you very much for your great comment @ansonoxy :)
Your point about the registration process is definitely something that´s holding Steemit back a little. It´s currently taking a long time for new user to get started, so that a real mass adaption isn´t possible right now.

But you always got to see the good side of it as well. All the people who´d just be spamming us with "please follow and upvote me as I want to get rich quick..." comments are as well among those waiting for their accounts. So all the patient ones are hopefully those who will add real value to our great Community :)
