I think trying to onboard people to "Steem" the blockchain is confusing and takes too much effort and training.

Been there like a hundred times...and failed miserably....every time.
I guess I can't explain to others...what "blockchain" or "currency" etc is, using simple words.

BUT. It would have been way easier to say to a Youtuber: " Hey, come and check Dtube. You'll do the exact same thing you do now but...." and from that point, there are projects, apps and even schools around who can educate all new users.
