"Crypto security is absolutely terrifying for new users. If we can create systems that give peace of mind to stake holders, a lot more people will be willing to invest value in our platform. Steem absolutely can lead the pack and provide the absolute best security the cryptosphere has to offer, and I believe we can accomplish this goal with relatively little effort, while still staying true to the tenants of decentralization."

I think you're absolutely right about computer security. Most people don't have much, because their eyes glaze over when they try to figure it out. Some of the smartest people in the world are constantly breaking it, and I don't even believe it really exists. Physics doesn't really allow for it, and folks that grasp that truth and combine it with malice in their hearts and extraordinary computer skillsets simply can't be effectively countered, and certainly not by mom and pop.

Providing top of the line security will attract reasonable folks that are aware of the problems with computer security and interested in Steem. Cryptocurrency is a pretty high hurdle for many, and lowering that hurdle will put more people in the running.

Lastly, I consider myself one of the tenants of decentralization, but while I appreciate this is true to us, I reckon you actually meants tenets, as in principles, rather than tenants, as in apartments.

Thanks!
