I haven't tried to actually introduce Steemit to my friends, the first step I used is to introduce it to my closest family members first. So far the response has been good. The reason I haven't introduce it to my friends is caused by my lack of understanding and knowledge about Steemit. I know I won't be able to answer if they asked more technical things that I myself haven't had any experience, yet. So, when you shared this post, I have a bit of vague ideas what to say to them once I introduce Steemit to them. Thank you for this post. Good job.
