Its funny it really is something completely new to people, keeping it as user-friendly as possible will go a long way.

I feel like many of us who have spent a lot of time in the blockchain space and here on Steem already have gotten so used to it that they completely have forgotten how difficult it all seems in the eye of a newcomer. Steem is one of the few that makes it so much simpler for them to get into it.

Sure thing!
Easy to enter, hard to master usually is a recipe for a good technology.

Yes exactly. People are also very ignorant to new Tech. It takes weeks to learn how to drive a car. Learning all about Steemit is a way faster process and easier. People are entitled and take it for granted that Tech should be as easy as other stuff that they have become used to.

that is not the problem ... learning is learned ... the topic is what they already have very clear about what this platform is about and they give it a purpose different from that of its creation ... as for example the powerful ones dedicate to the sale of votes ... further increasing the bad distribution of wealth within steemit

No. This is capitalism. Also it creates new value that didn't exist before. Whoever takes advantage of capitalism by work harder and smarter will benefit.

I think the more correct term should be "bureaucratized capitalism" based upon a wealth distribution system that is monetarily politicized at it's best.

There is nothing wrong with that! Especially since you don't seemingly participate with any rewards giving.

I do not agree ... capitalism seems perfect to me and I defend it ... another thing is to abuse the resources that the blockchain gives you ... in this way, if that does not change, and if a better distribution is not made of wealth steemit will end up dying ... in any case if you see it as capitalism is its bad part

It will not end up dying that is impossible. The whole world is looking for a service like this. STEEM will probably be worth $1500 a coin in the near future. No other service comes close right now. Surely no system is perfect but this works for now and it constantly is becoming better and more people are getting involved.

how many people does it involve? a few days ago the 1,000,000 account was created...Do you know how many are active? about 60,000...if a platform as spectacular as steemit is only little more than 5% is active is that something is wrong ... if only that amount is active is that 95% really does not trust ... and the main reason is the bad distribution of wealth ... and if above the most powerful are dedicated to sell votes will continue poorly...

I would like to have your confidence in the future of steemit ... I think that if some things are not changed the future is very doubtful ... and I love steemit ... and I plan to continue on the platform but I do not see a future so big ... but I hope the wrong one is me

Absolutely agree, I've been in the space just over a year and it took a second to get over the curve. Really happy to be with Appics as US Ambassador to make this learning curve practically gone. Soo much on the way. Happy to be part of the community.

Weldone sir
I actually do understand, well I don't know for others.... Some of use are so used to getting things the hard way that why no matter how tasky it is here some we just keep pushing but now that steemit is user-friendly we are grateful and hope we grow up like the big guys here even if not up to at least close to where we can stand on our own

That would explain the dismal retention rates ~13%.
1 million sign-ups doesn't mean much when you throw that into the mix, does it? I think its embarrassingly low. If I was a lead developer, I'd try to address that. But so far, I see a lot of talk and not a lot of action producing real results.
Prove me wrong, but I'm not holding my breath.

Imagine the retention rate of Bitcoiners in 2013 :)

That's a bizarre analogy. Bitcoin isn't a extremely-gated token that has a massive float like Steem.
It also doesn't have a parasitic ecosystem of voting/follow bots.
Steemit is doomed without some substantial changes, and the metrics out there show its absolutely horrible at doing what its defined to do -- get people interacting, and keeping them there.

Not really that bizarre considering the FUD and ignorance that existed at the time for Bitcoin and blockchain tech in general. I'm sure you agree many of the early adopters of Bitcoin were just as parasitic as those existing on Steem making it as unfair as possible.

Your altfork is doomed, so are a lot of others that don't understand the technicals. Read this, if you dare -- it might save you a lot of money.

Scaling isn't easy -- and its much easier to make mistakes like ETH and BCash have.

as a newcomer I have to say when you come here, you have to learn a lot about the upvote system, curation and author rewards, ranking, how everything is calculated, steem power, two kind of coins. I would compare Steem to some kind of Text RPG game where you have to learn a lot to be successful
