Preach, friend, preach! Yes--you have such a fantastic perspective on this. We have struggled to raise interest in @steemhousepub for a couple of years now, but haven't been discouraged by slow response because...heck, it's hard enough for us to explain, much less for others to understand. The only thing to do is just keeping doing, if that makes sense. The success of Steem is a marathon, not a sprint. There will be ups and certainly more downs. But you are so right: it's all still very new, and the concept will take a while to sink in. And it will only sink in if those of us who are here for the long term demonstrate how it can be used in both crypto circles and in the mainstream. Let's do this! :-)
