Also we need to ask- what is the best use of resources ,
a) A fest excluvively for people who are already on the STEEM train
b) A hybrid fest where we open it up to normies for any given country to learn and explore about STEEM... you know...marketing ish !!
Very true, I say the latter... and I'm sure I'm in the majority.
get some sign upss..get some real time reactions/feedback...
Live stream it...
Don't need to do the normie talk for whole 3 days..maybe do it for first day.
I'd say B too. But I think that will grow more and more for example with more outward going product features like SMT being released. With that the Steem chain will also morph btw.
Agreed... I call it the shovel effect. We are participating in the gold rush, attempting to be the best mountain to dig up a mine.
Once we have SMTs we will be selling the shovels to those who are looking to dig up the gold. At that point, we reach sustainability, a solid valuation floor and best of all, a clear incentive to be a passive investor (which we need) and just hodl.
