STEEM adoption can be much faster than it is now. The access points need to be freed up. People can buy STEEM on some exchanges but cannot transfer that STEEM off the exchanges their STEEM wallets. There is no FIAT/STEEM trading pair. For the majority of the world, SBD is useless as exchanges that trade SBD typically don't offer multiple languages which makes earning SBD by creating content or curating a worthless task.

I agree with your blog, but the roadblocks need to be cleared first.
