Browsing finance twitter this morning and saw this tweet from Henry Blodget, the founder, editor and CEO of Business Insider:
This no use case argument had been bugging me lately - the primary use case for crypto is, and always was, sending money from A to B quickly and at very little (or zero!) cost.
The problem is, as far as mainstream media is concerned, there is Bitcoin and Ethereum and that's about it. Due to these networks' flawed POW models, rapid appreciation -> rising tx costs, both networks have essentially rendered themselves obsolete for sending money. This has led to people with limited knowledge of the space saying crypto is useless.
Never one to miss an opportunity to plug Steem to a traditional finance/media influencer, I thought I'd pipe up:
I'd been thinking of plugging Steem to the Sydney editor, Paul Colgan (@Colgo), in this manner for some time and this seemed like the perfect opportunity!
I'm not sure how many offices they have worldwide and maybe a minute is a bit of a tall ask considering the human element, but I'm pretty definite we could do it in under 2 minutes regardless. If we could automate the process, a minute would be a piece of cake.
I'm yet to hear back from either Colgo or Henry, but interact with Colgo regularly and have received responses from Henry in the past. Having Steem featured across Business Insider's global mastheads would provide the network and coins with truly priceless exposure - fingers crossed. Will update this post if/when I receive a response.
PS if any devs out there could help out with a script to automate transmission of STEEM/SBD between a string of accounts and back to the origin account, leave a comment below and I'll give you a shout if they are interested in running the experiment. We'd need a UI where I could input the origin account, intermediary accounts and active keys for each.
Donate the insider some steem, that should work ;)

The fastest and surest way of getting Steem into mainstream exposure is to have Donald Trump tweeted about it.

This idea could definitely work @introvertspeaks! Donald Trump most definitely has a very influential reach with his Twitter account(s) and raising awareness with his help would be great for Steem.
I do like the approach that @bulleth took in trying to present Steem to @Colgo. Good on him for taking the initiative.
It sure is nice to see that more people are becoming brand ambassadors for Steem! However, it is important to always maintain proper communication etiquette while doing so.
Steem on and Happy New Year everyone!

Nah, I don't think so. You've got to do it in a clever way. The moment Trump realizes the beauty of Steem Power, he'd definitely power up like hell and make Steemit his secondary social media of choice, second to Twitter.
Not only that, die-hard Hillary fantards will catch up and power up too making the Steem price go to the sky. And you think Obama will let himself biting the dust? You wish! Bittrex is about to crash for real.
Last but not the least, this will prevent the eminent nuclear war, as Kim Jong-un will power up too like a porn star allowing the Steem valuation to surpass Bitcoin's market cap. And finally this will promote peace because there will no longer be nuclear wars whatsoever but flagging war instead between political heavyweights.
What about Putin? The list can go on, and on, and on.
Now, isn't that a good news for all Steem stakeholders and minnows alike? Donald Trump will also make Steemit great again. This is my technical analysis without using those silly charts.
If you enjoy what you read here and/or you think this will make you profitable, please do encourage me to do more technical analysis like this and buy me a beer. Cheers!

See @josephsavage's comment, Bitshares has fees and network aside would still need to automate to do it in under a minute I think.

I agree with all your points. Bitshares is such a pain in the arse.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

The advantage to Steem over bitshares in this example is that Steem has no transactions fees, while bitshares has a nominal transaction fee.
For the purpose of sending 'fiat' values from one business office to another, bitShares would be a better network because you could send bitUSD or bitAUS(?) and not have to worry about changes during send, but then transacting out of bitShares is even more complicated. so there's that

I don't really care much about ultra penny TX fee. Maybe it serves a purpose of deterring any malicious act of flooding the network with empty blocks. What I disliked about Bitshares is that, it is painful to the eyes to navigate the platform. They seem to over-complicate simple things. Not recommended for noobs, it's the equivalent of Linux in OS.
I already sold my little collections of BTS in order to buy Lumens. Stellar has a more potential for global adaption compares to BitShares. A truly non-profit organization aimed to make currency transfer smooth and seamless. Stellar will be the next big thing when it comes to utility--a sleeping giant.

Thanks mate - checked out your post, but not a fan of your poltico-economic view. Hard data shows the link between monetary inflation and price inflation is tenuous at best. Monetary inflation != price inflation. There is a correlation, but it is not linear ie central banks and private lenders can increase the money supply by 10%, whilst price inflation only picks up by 1-3%. Studies have shown reduced government spending (Austerity) has long last economic consequences and fiscal multipliers are larger for spending than tax cuts.
You know you're being lied to ... but you need to have a good look at who's doing the lying ;)

I appreciate the response very pleased to hear your input. I am in a constant evaluation/re-evaluation of these practices, where the information comes from and why it is placed in the manner it is. I respectfully disagree, but I do see where the opinion is quite popular. In the US the amount of pubic works projects that picked up feverishly picked up beyond belief during the international depression during the late 1920s through WWII. The unemployment rates and lack of full utilization never really recovered until ever spare hand was needed to provide a successful national war effort. The hyper inflationary periods following the US post WWII "baby boom" in the mid 1970s resulted in excessive government programs that has created multiple economic bubbles as the progressive tax system has created a tax base in our country that is paid by less than half of the public. Rather than allowing spending within industries/sectors that can provide continual growth (the manufacturing and industrial base of the US), but still providing aid to those most in need, our government policies and waste knows no bounds. Somewhere between full blown government austerity and outright governmental authority on virtually every day activities is likely the answer. I still am very pleased in your work and am very glad to see your efforts taking place here it is a very noble and hopefully fruitful endeavor.
