Yup I completely agree with this Kenny-crane. As long as there is evidence that an exchange of goods ultimately occur through the use of Steem or any other cryptocurrency, that's what makes it real to me. You can only use monopoly money to buy fake property, fake houses, and fake hotels. But once someone realizes that they can convert the Steem to regular currency to purchase real goods, I don't think they'll still perceive it as fake any longer
