Great post, @paps! I hope someone (or a group of someones) takes your idea/suggestion and runs with it. Hopefully we can get some easy explanation videos out there soon that really break it all down and make it easily digestible and understandable.

"Won't it be harder for us bloggers to shine when there would be influential people on steemit?"

I've thought of this as well, and to be honest that kind of thinking is what has prevented me from telling several of my Facebook friends with huge followings (such as Jake Ducey, Kurshot Akyuz, Dusty Smith, etc.) about the platform.

But you're right, wouldn't these types of people naturally find Steemit on their own anyway eventually if the platform truly succeeds and blows up? So I guess I'll make a better effort to show these big names to Steemit, so that their followers can also start to pour into the Steemit community.
