it's somewhat hard to change most people's minds... more so, because we have a group of steemians who attempt to eat using STEEM, and it's incredibly hard to do so, unless you are a big whale and live frugally.

That being said, I guess the quest for this answer is still in play... I used to think it was about educating people to think long term, but in the past few months I've realized that most people have a boot on their throat, and they can't afford to do so.
