Regardless of whether or not you like the technology of Dash, I like the way they are thinking about things. To be truly successful they have to reach past developers and the original crypto-geeks and talk to mainstream. In order to do that, they have decided to pitch a likable person who can talk to the mainstream users, with language they can understand.
WE ARE AHEAD - BUT NOBODY KNOWS IT.
Steemit is already setup to be more user friendly than Dash. (We are as fast or faster than Dash)
(What makes us different and better?)
- You don't need to know how to mine to earn Steem.
- We have usernames we can remember
- We have free transactions and they are fast!
- We have a platform to support the message and an easy way to distribute it.
- Your ideas here. What are our strengths?
I understand those of you who are frustrated with the marketing efforts, but I think the message is the value of STEEM is multi-faceted and Steemit is just one of the tools that can increase the value. I support that. I could complain here about the decisions they have made, but instead I think as a community we should "Sell" SteemIt, Inc on why this proof of concept is so important to help them gain momentum in a fast-paced technology niche where things will change quickly. Frankly, they can not afford to ignore their only operating "proof of concept".
We have a community full of talent, ideas and energy.
How do we talk about the blockchain and it's technology in a manner that is digestible to the average user?
There are many brain storming activities out there used by Corporations, to assist with gathering this information, from the real end-users we already have.
