One of the most important points I have heard so far:

I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of marketing in the first world for now though. What I find interesting is the explosion of Steemit in Indonesia. I have a good feeling about this.

Exactly. I think for various reasons people in developing countries are more amenable to the message and the potential here.

Most cryptocurrencies are trying to go after the people in developed countries who already have so many choices and frankly are often blind to the problems with the current system.

Developing countries are where the most growth is right now anyway - if we can make the most of that then it doesn't matter if we get the developed world right now.

Eventually Steemit and Steem will get so big that they will have to come on board.

The world is changing and we should use it to our advantage.
