That is definitely going to happen. We have plans on trying to recruit some real world Hearthstone, MTG, Pokemon, or Yu-Gi-Oh players, perhaps. That process will start in earnest pretty soon.
The game has so much depth already, and there's much potential to theory craft. It isn't only good for the economics that the in-game market has at the moment, but also for the actual gameplay.
I also agree on your point that we need to get people in that don't know what STEEM is.
We need it to be invisible, like Electricity, or air conditioning. People use it and they don't understand exactly how it all works.
YES absolutely. It's also so cool how, in the spirit of decentralization it's something of an open source project: people that sponsor the Kickstarter for large amounts actually get to create new summoners/monsters and have their voice in the game/cartoon.
You are spot on with the comment about "invisibility." The more streamlined things get, the less people should (hopefully) have to understand the complications of the underlying mechanics to just use blockchain for everyday tasks.
