IMHO steemit's ability to atract new users to the crypto world is phenomenal.
What it gets now for a round noob to became a part of crypto sphere? Got email? And phone? Go there and register. Say something to the world. Anything. And you will, possibly, get paid (for that).
THAT IS IT !!!
Can it be any more simple?
Every single day I talk to my clients. About bitcoin, other cryptos, and recently I talk about steemit. Every single day I introduce these things to 10-15 people. And I see their reaction, response.
Bitcoin? hmmm... how i buy them...where.... wallet in the cloud, ohh wait- on the paper?.... it seems so weird, complicated, scary... nothing I can touch... probably not for me.
Steemit? ... just posting like on Facebook? clicking "likes"? ... and somebody will even pay to me? and that is it?... wow, this is cool, man!!! I'm sure gonna try this. THANKS!
And that is what I see EVERY DAY. All around me, in the off-line world, not in the clouds...
Phenomenal.
