Lurk

I have been lurking on steemit for quite a while now and am finally deciding to take the plunge and start creating content.

I am an aspiring investor and I really believe crypto and platforms like steem and bitshares are the future, but unfortunately I find that I cant get others to see the light! As with anything there are early adopters and I suppose we have to be patient... A flashier UI couldn't hurt though! (ahem, devs)

I started with Bitcoin, dipping my toes in the waters in 2014 but not for long, then kicking myself as I watched the price go up and up... and up. I did some research and found Ethereum and when I really understood what they are trying to do I was amazed at the endless possibilities that the technology could be applied to. However, reality is always lurking around the corner - I discovered how Ethereum (at least in its current state) can not scale for global mass adoption, at least not as a financial instrument. Sure you can create tokens but if we want something that can be used on a global scale by millions of people every day then we need something a bit more robust.

Then I found PeerPlays, and then Bitshares and I was blown away. Bitshares is incredible and nobody is using it! voicing my opinion on Poloniex got me swiftly booted, but I could not understand why anyone would hold their currencies in a centralized exchange when there was a robust, innovative and scalable decentralized solution just sitting there. Easily accessed through Openledger.

I see a really bright future for this platform if we can create an ecosystem like YouTube or Minds. Lets get some pretty SquareSpace template looking UI's and blog pages! Lets take YouTube, Facebook and Wordpress users and bring them here.
