I think it will be less than 3 years and your ideas will be heard and they will listen and respect you. You are smart and will work it out. It is for their own good and once they see what is possible they will act. You have only been there a short time and have been bought in to make a difference.
Will see or perhaps, Steem will moon massively and I will start a company helping them out getting onboard with BC ;)
That sounds like a good plan and who knows what is in store for all of us on here. Positive thoughts though.
