RE: Steem as a Digital Currency
I agree. Anonymity is crucial. Another reason DASH has been successful is how heavily marketed it is. DASH is marketed in a very inorganic way, where there central team promotes the currency through posts and videos in a way other cryptos have not. In the short term this method seems to be very effective, over the long term I am not so sure. My point is Steemit & STEEM could possibly benefit from a more organized marketing campaign. I am considering doing a post about that when I get the time.
I'm not sure how crucial anonimity is in a world where *99% of digital money transactions (by numbers, not volume) are not anonymous.
I do agree however that marketing is key here.
*I made that number up.
Digital money transactions have not been anonymous because the average person hasn't had the ability to transact anonymously. Crypto currency changes that. There is now a new benchmark that has been set, now that other cryptos offer the function of anonymity, why would you choose something that doesn't give you that ability. That is just my opinion, I am not sure if people who know less about crypto would even care, but within the community it seems to be very important.
