I am not particularly technically minded @theycallmedan but even I know more than some really seasoned individuals which is a little disturbing to say the least. So, I do have to agree with with you in that the enormous lack of ANY kind of knowledge #steem / #steemit is nothing short of astounding... and interestingly enough - I have personally encountered some seriously WELL-WEATHERED crypto individuals who have been coming to me saying things like "oooh Steem is going down you need to get out" or "I hear Steemit is in trouble, you need to get your money out" so on and so forth.. they don't even understand the difference between #steem and #steemit. So for me, as someone who knows LITTLE about the grand scheme of things this is shocking!!!!

Even this little venture that I have taken on with recruiting FB bloggers that I am connected with to get onto #steem, I am re-discovering just how %$#@#$ clueless everyone is!!! And yes, also the bad talk is huge!!! Out of every 10 people I have approached so far on my FB group, I am met with at least 6 nay sayers! It is not an easy task and there is nowhere NEAR enough positive exposure!!!!!!

This is also one of the primary reasons why I jumped on board the @share2steem team the second I caught wind of that initiative!!! I got so much negative feedback from a LOT of people for doing that because its not actively supporting dapps - but what people are failing to see is the connection it creates! People who are clueless about any of "this" are skeptical by nature... some so much so, that they would be likely to never get involved... until there was that connecting bridge - where they can continue to expand their commercial social media platforms whilst exploring something new simultaneously.

It is not going to be an overnight process, but I do feel as though some of the best voices are starting to be heard... so long may it last!
