Bitcoin and steem power

in st •  8 years ago 

Steemit is the killer app Bitcoin has been waiting for to bring fresh and diverse people into Bitcoin and into cryptocurrencies. Steemit is easy to use, its purpose is self-evident, and it puts crypto to good use. More people will have a first cryptocurrency experience with Steemit than any other decentralization-related company to date.

Bitcoin is a closed, exclusive community of young, smart, libertarian-leaning males

Look around, boys. We're all the same. The Reddit communities, BCT, every Meetup ever, Core devs, Classic devs, the entrepreneurs that run decentralized start-ups, the investors, the traders, the hodlers -- all predominantly 18-45 year old men. We're all in the 1% of techno-literacy. Many have Zerohedge as a daily read. Many have a deep understanding of the Austrian School. We are mostly focused, driven people. We all use the expression "hodler" like it's a thing. This is all great. But none of this is normal. Not even a little bit.

Normal people do not care about any current Bitcoin projects

Bitcoin companies and their products do nothing for them. Purse.io is the closest thing to a Bitcoin killer app and I have had hardly any luck on convincing people not already in the cryptocurency community to save 20-30% on Amazon purchases by using Purse. It seems like a no-brainer. But the response I get is it's complicated, I don't want to take BTC FX risk, is it a scam, it takes too much time, it's...weird.

I don't know anyone outside of Bitcoin who would even try OpenBazaar. Bitcoin gambling isn't even popular with the gamblers --> there is too little liquidity on the poker sites and too many sharks. The P2P lending sites have proven to be failures. What else is there?
