I think that the confusing technology that is cryptocurrency & understanding btc, is probably what is preventing it from being adopted by the masses. Most people have no idea what bitcoin is and the whole password thing on here too probably isn't appealing to them either.

I've recruited quite a few people to the platform who have no experience with cryptocurrency and BTC. I agree the PW thing is a hurdle, but I don't think those things will be dealbreakers.

i myself had none before I came here and I have recruited some as well who didn't have experience with it but still it has been very challenging, despite the success thus far. You are mentioning how it hasn't been MASS ADOPTED well I think that is one of the reasons. Also, If the main goal is getting new users to come to the site, wouldn't marketing steemit be the best way to get them here? And who should be responsible for marketing? ... I see a lot of new users who come on here and who don't want to put in any effort to produce quality content but then they want to complain about unfair rewards. I don't think that Catering to their cries is in the best interest of steemit.

> You are mentioning how it hasn't been MASS ADOPTED well I think that is one of the reasons. Agreed. There are quite a few reasons. > If the main goal is getting new users to come to the site, wouldn't marketing steemit be the best way to get them here? Yes. I don't know if we are ready for that type of mass recruitment yet though. There are still some underlying issues with the platform that are affecting retention. If we don't resolve those, then recruiting new users will not do much good. > And who should be responsible for marketing? I think the community itself will be able to handle the lion-share of marketing through word of mouth. > I see a lot of new users who come on here and who don't want to put in any effort to produce quality content but then they want to complain about unfair rewards. I don't think that Catering to their cries doesn't seem like it's something in the best interest of steemit. I agree 100%. I don't want to cater to those people either.

I had no clue that steem is about currency.. but thought is a social networks with a different approach. It is a great network with a very unique rewarding system which makes it interesting for curators.. but so far my feeling is it is still relatively complex to handle, nothing easy going - the PW are still most easy thing. It is more the dynamics.. the hidden 30 minutes rules, what a resteem does, aso.. I'M not here for the money.. it is a nice sideeffect.. but to see how a system like this can work..
