We need to make Account Creation free and easy again
Back in the days when we could send people directly to steemit.com for easy quick signup, we did grow in users by great amounts, and for every X user we got Y amount of them invested and powered up. A numbers game really.

Then came the restrictions and RC. All of a sudden we were no longer going to be progressive but conservative due to a fear of Noganoo stealing the best names.

afterwards, there was no way to target groups on the Internet to just come and create an account anymore, everything stagnated as new users now had to either pay for an account or get an account from someone who had accounts to give, this problem destroyed any efforts we did in marketing and we gave up trying to onboard new users, it was just too hard after the restrictions came.

I suggest we remove anything restricting new accounts from being created for free. Onboarding needs to be as simple as to just send people to hive.blog and other front ends and have whoever that wants sign up in a few very easy steps.

I am certain it will be profitable for everyone, and we should do it quickly
