However there is a lot to sell at the moment; censorship and fake news are big topics at the moment
Put this to the same 20 person test you describe above. Ask someone "are you on facebook?" then ask them "have you ever been censored by facebook" . I think youll get 20 yesses to the first question and probably 18 or 19 noes to the second question.
Even accepting the premise that Steemit is meaningfully more censorship resistant than other SM platforms (and this in and of itself is debatable), i really don't see censorship as a huge issue for most SM users.
Steemit has a payment system that could make it easier for people to transfer money internationally.
Not serious people. At least not yet, though i believe there is a great deal of potential in this regard. Thats what I do for a living, and its also the main reason im here.
That's a matter for debate and conjecture, who knows?
Erm, I do believe you contradicted yourself in less than a sentence; unless you're saying you're not a serious person, even though you do it for a living?
Cg
I don't use it for that. Or reccomend it to my clients. I believe it has the potential to be a useful financial tool (and its that potential that brought me here and has kept me here), and i am watching it to see if it realizes its potential. But right now, that's all i see there financially. Potential.
I think @sigmajin means that for a normal business person trying to transfder funds to another company, as part of a business transaction, Steem is not a serious way to transfer money.
But he is serious about trying to make plentiful money on Steemit, and using Steem. At least that'd be my take on it.
