I have a friend who writes amazing short stories. I told him, why not just try it out? It can't hurt.
Unlike Bitcoin, with Steem you don't have to buy anything

I've told many friends to check it out. The idiots always say "yeah uhh when I get some time" or "maybe when it takes off." Lol
Tell me about it! I'm so tired & burn't out talking with family members and close buddies. All they do is judge off of your current situation and the material things 0ne has . I'm however am looking for like-minded individuals such as myself, who are visionaries and who understand the possibilities. Listen to what I am saying and do your research based off of what I said so that maybe you(ppl) can use it to your advantage as you may be in a better situation to do so!
You tell them that they(we) can get paid by doing exactly the same damn thing they are already doing on other popular social media platforms and yet still, they act as if they don't care why, because it's not "popular"! If they read and get involved, they will know exactly where this is headed! I always hear ppl saying they wish they won the lottery 0r they wish they had purchased stock@a major company when it was dirt cheap - Well, here we are! If you don't see where this digital space is going, then I don't know what else to say!
Two friends of mine are bloggers. photography and food. they said: "sounds great, but markwhat?! seems to be more work" so maybe an interface for wordpress/typo3 aso would tear down the barrier
You are right. In Steemit, there is no barrier to entry. No risk to the downside. Anyone who writes content should be on Steemit. What Bitcoin started is a whole tsunami of a new decentralized world. Platforms like Steem have created their own digital economy, that self re-enforces itself. In 1-2 years there will be 1000's of coins running in there own digital economy. The world will have no choice but to start using crypto if they want to use any of these killer apps. Investors will come b/c of the money. People will come b/c its useful to them. DAPPS are going to rule the world ;-)
There is also the barrier to using crypto to withdrawal into BTC.
Just need an SBD/STEEM debit card now.
i was working on something like that... i think youre right though, a non-btc-mediated way to get cash is a key milestone.
I'll definitely be awaiting this :)
there is a barrier... it´s just not handy for most people i know. no editor, no app, no upload... compare with wp
i seem to recall a WP type app on steemtools.com
I'm assuming an app is in the works? (I hope)
Upvoting and writing stories is in a way Steem's mining-part. But you have to keep in mind that your Steempower inflates with +/- 5% per year. So there is your risk. This 5% goes to upvoting and authors of stories. It's a battle against other users: vote better and write better stories to compensate the 5% inflation per year. I really love the concept, but I am not sure if it will attract the average every day Reddit-type of user.
I really wish concepts (such as steem which looks promising) would STOP USING the insanity of modeling things after the concept of "inflation" (interest, usery) which is an artificial finance invention which has created so much pain and suffering in the world, to enrich bankers over all others. Surely a team as innovative as steem can come up with a MUCH better model than just patterning after "inflation"! Jeesh...
The Steem inflation is not the same kind of inflation as with fiat currency. In practice it is dilution or redistribution of wealth from those who work to those who don't. It's not simple, but there is a great post about it by @hisnameisolllie.
