RE: 600 million dollars in future value for a $15000 steem account. If steem gets as many users as facebook.
The hardest part in getting Blockchain to take over things like social media would be to get the big mass of people that do not really care about the things that blockchain is about to use it. So it will probably take quite some time till that happens
I think that with the economic incentives the blockchain offers, there is the possibility that massaboubtion can go pretty fast.
One could imaging many different kinds of interfaces for the Steem blockchain, so that everyone has a purpose on the steem blockchain.
Of course it is only speculation, but my calculation shows that the first mover in Steem will be in for a huge profit, just like the first movers in Bitcoin.
I think you're right, and take into consideration the average person doesn't even know what blockchain is and hasn't even considered cryptocurrencies.
On the other hand, Bitcoin got a lot of exposure lately in MSM, people will become curious one way or the other... Steemit is also known for on-boarding people in crypto currency and blockchain.
I surely hope so! I am all for promoting the site as often as I feasibly can. I spend more time here than I do on other sites and am happy to be a part of the community. That curiosity could make a few a little richer if they would take the time to actually become an active participant in sites such as these with enough backing and effort. I know I've seen a nice return without investing anything other than my time.
But the whole process has to grow a lot. For instance having to wait for an account to be created and verified is probably too much for the average Facebook-Internet-User. I mean compared to just taking less than 5 minutes to create an account on any social platform creating one for steemit is different. When thinking of how something on the internet usually just has someones attention for 4 minutes average or so before that person needs something cool to happen to stay interested its really a weakness to getting steem up and running for the masses
I agree that it would be nice to have fast account creation. Actually we have that with anon.steem . I am not sure that Steemit inc can do it faster.
People will come eventuelly, there will probably come other services like anon.steem
