In case you haven't heard, I'm organizing a Invest in Steem Social Media Blast Day. To get involved, please check out the announcement post.
As part of the campaign, I would like to create a "50 reasons to invest in STEEM" post (or 100, or however many we can come up with) for people to use when pitching STEEM to potential investors. Help me come up with the list of reasons.
Please share your ideas in the comments below.
Own a share of the Internet and have a say how it's value is distributed. Buy Steem.

It's entry-level crypto for the layman.
Account names are names.
Savings account, powerdown period and account recovery as security features.
Troll discouragement built in, attracts the best type of people.
Encouraging others with tips is great for one's mental health.
Rapid block times, fee-free transactions.
Choice of condensers.
Stable hedge. Take gains off the table with SBDs instead of moving to an exchange or bank.
Steemmonsters. (Another great hedge)
DPOS is more decentralised than having a handful of mining pools. (Every phone call between China and Iceland could be collusion to 51% attack bitcoin)
Airdrops without contentious hardforks deliver the best of both worlds.
Proxy witness voting.
@aggroed and @yabapmatt have commissioned a metamask style browser extension to keep keys off the net.

Fashionably late to the party as always!
Build a disruptive web business by adding rewards
Quora was recently valued at $1.8bn and raised another $80m in capital. Musing.io arguably has a better business model since it also rewards its contributors. Disrupt the existing big players by building rewards into your business. Get off to a fast start by leveraging Steem's existing communities of contributors and marketers and their global reach.
Micro-gig-economies
You've built your ecological website to save the world, Ilovetrees.com, but now you face the mountainous task of travelling around the world to collect photos and write text on all those different trees. Carbon footprint! Instead base your website on Steem and outsource this arduous but worthy task to Steem's audience of dedicated contributors. Reward the best contributors and see your data-trees grow!
Similar ideas, but I think that one of the real strengths of Steem will end up being engaging communities to help build and grow things and rewarding them for their efforts, essentially "employing" thousands of people with different skills for an hour or so a day.

Steem blockchain, through its DPoS consensus, gives stakeholders a real opportunity to be a part of the decision-making process when it comes to the future of social media.
Steem is by far the most widely used blockchain by normal people. However, the number of active users has huge potential to increase - the most popular app right now (Steemit) has quite bad UX, but people use it anyway. The more people use Steem, the more people use crypto. That's a real gateway to the decentralized world.

Main ones for non-technical folk:
Content Creator - With any crypto you can make money through price appreciation. STEEM is unique in that you can make even more without selling your crypto by simply creating content. And you get to grow your global audience at the same time, which may lead to other paid creative opportunities. The more you invest in STEEM, the faster you will gain traction on the platform with your content.
Not a Content Creator - With any crypto you can make money through price appreciation. STEEM is unique in that you can make even more without selling your crypto by simply loaning the use of it to content creators on the platform. Ownership of your coins always stays with you, but they pay you between 15-30% interest just for using the power of your holdings to be more successful on the platform with their content.

can you educate us what is the "general purpose" of ETHER and "specialized" purpose of STEEM that lends to 3 seconds transfer and more transactions per sec.

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Well the three second confirmation times have more to do with us using DPoS instead of PoW. DPoS is much faster and more efficient than PoW in many ways.
Regarding "general purpose" vs "specialized", general purpose is setup to use smart contracts, which allow people to write applications to do pretty much anything. (Take CryptoKitties for example.) Specialized does not allow developers to create any app they want, but for the apps that are supported - it tries to do a really good job at doing them well. By specializing in a narrow niche, it allows us to become the best at it.

Gotta be honest , general purpose sounds evolutionary and specialized sounds creationist.
I am sure it's more nuanced than that in the details of the implementation. Maybe in the sense that specialized can support a class of apps vs choosing specific apps?

That pre-supposes as a fact that one thing you do really well is a very valuable ( also the search function is then support by the complicated ad system in the background).
An evolutionary approach would let the system run multiple experiments and land on the one which has inherent value.
As I noted in previous comment it's possible that even within specialized nature , evolutionary models are supported by building for class of apps vs chosen apps.
Thanks for your responses in any case.

That is great idea, in order to invest the people want to make sure that it is not a flop, who wants to lose their investment? Nobody.
There are many different reasons why we are on Steem community like myself, have been started exactly a year ago on 25.08.17 I am still there, since I started my blog, I have never been before in any of social media at all, this is my first experience. I found my hobby back after a pause of 15-17 years adn last 365 days I have created large number of artwork, only because I found people who supported me and other artists who encourage me. I learnt new mediums I never used before: acrylic and oil painting.
Been on Steemit opened new side of my life, my latest collection I put together on my anniversary post, if you are curious, welcome to take a loo.
Thank you for trying hard and to make people interested in such wonderful world that I discovered for me, @timcliff. I wish you all the best!

Kinda similar point to my "a place to spend your money - or earn it"
Investors will come in bulk to easy to conceptualize stuff, if people are buying water at a concert the investor buys more water. if it's beer, he calls that guy instead. If it's nothing, he goes and invests in movie theaters instead.
He never cares how the water filters or kegs work, only what people are buying or selling a lot of.

A large amount was ninja mined and collected by Steemit Inc and early founders / investors. Then a very smart individual with a bunch of accounts with the word rabbit in them developed a GPU miner and basically was taking all the Proof of Work rewards at one point. Then everything switched over to Delegated Proof of Stake with all block production through the witness nodes. Most of which were put in power by an anonymous ninja mine account @freedom To my knowledge we never figured out who this account was. It might have been @dan or @ned . There were also other early accounts with huge amounts of power that solidified the oligarchy.
If you are into mazes you can check out the different wallet accounts that Steemit Inc has where they waterfall different funds down an intricate maze. I'm not sure why....because we can all see it. But it does get confusing.

The interesting thing is that the @alpha account seems to earn a lot from @buildawhale and @appreciator which is very strange. I'm not really sure what is going on. Have fun with that!

I hear you man! You have to protect your own interest if you want that LAMBO.
I don't have a problem with the founder / owners getting rich but it has to be a factor when you are thinking about your money.
Satoshi's coins have never moved. They are constantly flowing to an exchange to be sold. If you look at https://steemit.com/@alpha/transfers You will see large sets of STEEM flowing to Bittrex to likely be dumped.
As investors we have to be aware of who might dump on our heads.

Normally if there is a return from any marketable material, one needs to consider when the price of such material will fall and at the end will end up in a great yield. I think most investors have the mind of making profit and will also not mind if there is a loss. Steem is a most valuable resources at hand, so it will be nice if one invest on it and make a better return.
Investing in steem will also give the investors upper hand of coming in contact with a reputable investor. Through this medium , they can make friends and become coinvestors or partners.

There are billions of dollars being left on the table, unclaimed for when Steemit.com does not utilize its platform for advertisement. Why?
I simply think that Steemit.com doesn't really need investors more than it needs to start its own advertising service. Allow people to advertise their amazon businesses or any kinds of businesses on the steemit platform. There is billions dollars worth to make out of simply advertising. Why not? Once steemit does this, bam! All problems solved.
