I like the angle of proposing a question with a predictable reply.. Certainly this is a time tested sales technique.. First bit I've seen here in what I'd say is the right direction.. The essential element though is appealing to an investors profits. That makes this a very difficult concept..
Investors aren't exactly looking to try and make the world a better more evolved place, they want a solid roi with as little risk as possible.. Period, full stop!
I beg to differ, of course most of the investors might be interested in ROI, but there are other type of investors who are interested in bettering humanity.
To this kind of investor the ROI relies on how much would their investment make society better. Therefore, I think the first task would be to approach the right kind of investor when this is the pitch to be used.
A utopian vision, and I’d assume the guy in the elevator is like most investors, that aren’t philanthropists.
The whole vision of Steem is utopian in my way of seeing things. After all, we live in a positive sum world.
I can dig that
Are there not big problems in the world? I would ask the elevator man that question or something to that affect because he or she would need first understand the problem before he or she could appreciate how Steemit attempts at solving the issue of being censored, banned demonetized, spied on, abused, manipulated, robbed from, shadow banned, hidden, lied to, etc.
