RE: The charismatic leader of Steem

not as “a place to make money posting shit” but just as “that place we met” and then we bring it up from time to time, this has much more potential to onboard users than trying to convince a coworker or friend through raving manically about “the power of the blockchain.”

Yep, when I talk to people these days it is about were I write a lot, and don't mention the rewards or blockchain (depends on audience fot the BC part) at all. It piques more curiosity and over time leads to wider conversation. I have slowed down my onboarding to play the long game with people and have them naturally gravitate toward discovery.

The best we can do for the platform whether it’s on boarding users or SMT developers is to find ways to casually integrate it with what we are doing off-chain.

Organic growth leads to a more stable environment, but it takes longer and many people are in a rush.
