RE: How our business found success by staying progressive, and so will steemit!

in #steemit8 years ago

The thing I've noticed from 5 weeks on here is the platform seems to be very tech driven. The most money goes towards things such as Bitcoin, blockchain, and anything crypto. I've told so many people about this website, but they're afraid. I hate comparing to Facebook but it's seems to be the only thing that makes sense to them. When I tell them they get paid, they ask me how to cash it out, then I tell them they have to convert it to BTC then to USD and they really freak out. Nobody I've talked to knows what Bitcoin is, but that's partly where I live too.

I think to drive the user base up, this platform needs to hit more mainstream news. The only way I heard about it was a little blip on yahoo news. Need Yahoo, MSN and other sites to do bigger stories about it. That'll get everybody's interest.
