There are many ways and it's better to keep focus on the long term growth. A very unique feature we have is that we are a social network of people whore already very interested in crypto, finance, personal freedom and free markets. @steemmonsters is light years ahead of CryptoKitties and https://www.stateofthedapps.com has many of its top ranks covered by STEEM DAPPs. @drugwars became #1 DAPP of the world and that would not happen in a world where STEEM wasn't a social network. Just keep on improving this community engagement and support good projects on STEEM.

Exchange Listing

STEEM has only about 5 million USD volume. When listed on exchanges HUNT Token had about 2 million USD volume. More listings like this is going to work well as a good marketing strategy. IEOs are also a great way to have some exposure. Just let people know that e are out here.

Get Existing Content Creators on Blockchain

I don't mean some joke like PewDiePie on Dlive which did nothing. Just get some people to cross post their blogs or YouTube clips on STEEM and have them list STEEM among their social media links and maybe get them to try out some DAPPs. Build a long term relationship.

Interoperability With Other Blockchains

@steemmonsters did this with TRON and @drugwars did this with Obyte. We need more connections like these. Do't make STEEM DAPPs depend on these other networks but work for integration to bridge the community. This is an excellent hedge for a rainy day. The network effect creates more value.

Cost Reduction

This is basically what Steemit Inc has been doing since layoffs and the results are great based on what I see on @steemitblog Currently it cost a lot run DAPPs on EOS (which stupidly put too much burden on the developer) Making things cheaper will lower the barrier for entry for both devs and witnesses making DAPPs and services more abundant.

More Gameplay - Less Reward Farming

Just learn from other MMOs and mobile games and make things more ethical and fun. A person will only spend so much on a single game.

Intelligent Discussions

Reward Curve Deep Dive is one of the best articles on STEEM I've recently read. It's the only non-linear voting solution that I can be fully on board with. We need more smart stuff like this.

SMTs

Just compare it with everything else that is available a the moment. EOS could become a strong threat, Other than that STEEM could just kill it with SMTs. Just release a bare bones ERC-20 replacement + Market first and then build the rest. This is urgent. Don't be late.

We need a good reason for investors to hold and buy Steem.
The biggest challenge IMO will be to seperate the Steem reward pool from the Steemit.com Application. Since, we all know that Dapps and Communities are the growth factor for Steem. We should consider to distribute Steem not only to blogging on Steemit.com, but also across all other Dapps as well.
Investors are looking for the infrastructure Coins and Steem right now is good with Steempower, Voting and RC credits, but the reward pool tied up with Steemit.com is a mess.
This situation is not very attractive for outside investors. Steems Proof of Brain mechanism needs to used for discovering and supporting the best Dapps, communities, proposals and Projects on Steem.
And Steemit.com needs to become its own community with its own Token, so if they mess up the economical effects doesn't hurt the whole Steem community.

We need that one great app or game that everybody in the cryptocurrency world cannot live without. Steem monsters is great. Some of the other games are not. However, we don't have anything that stands out as so amazing that everyone immediately hears about it because it's so great that it's all over Facebook and all over everywhere. We don't have PewDiePie. We don't have celebrity endorsers at all. We don't have people that are jumping up and down screaming our name in the streets and I think it's because we don't have that one app that would rule everything. My main concern is that when EOS comes out with their social network they will have an app like that.

Right now I feel one of the largest issues facing steem growth and mass adoption is the need for new people to learn WAY to many things. SP, VP, RC's, Steem, SBD, internal markets to convert SBD earnings, powering up, and so forth. It's overwhelming to a new person and I really don't care how smart you are it's a lot to take in.

To have to figure all these things out and then realize it takes a capital investment to be able to even function on the site due to RC's most people sign up, make a post or two and leave. Honestly if I came here today and was told hey you need to buy 50-70 steem to be able to freely interact due to the required RCs I probably wouldn't stick around.

The first thing that needs to be taken care of is RC Pools for communities to be able to support newer members with their unused RCs.

After that we need to remember the most important rule of mass adoption KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid. Programmers acting elitist gives you the mess we currently have at Steem.

Recently there are several new blog sites,
Can learn their strengths,

  1. better easy use interface.
  2. The reward for the article is countless times instead of only one.

What I want to mention is that,
There are several new websites, and their reward system has changed.
Thier article reward is settled every 7 days, Day 7 Settlement Bonus / Day 14 Settlement Bonus / Day 21 Settlement Bonus / N * 7 Day Settlement Reward....
The reward for the article is countless times instead of only one.

So there are many authors , because their rewards are long-term, not just one time.
For example, some novelists I like,
They post their novels on that blog network.
New readers will reward its articles,
Old readers can also reward its articles.
You will reward its new article,
You can also reward its old article,

Although steemit is currently the first traffic blog site,
But I am afraid of the future,
Will lose to those new sites,
Unless steemit is also improved.

I will go on a similar opinion as @thedarkhorse I think if we have to talk about mass adoption of Steem then we have to make it suitable for everyone to adopt Steem. Right now, this is not the case. The platform is more focused on development and bringing in investors without looking at the users.

In real logic, investors will come in to make money and not really promote the platform. It is the common users that will come in and tell their friends about where there are earning $0.5 daily.

Personally, I came here to earn and without any knowledge of the Steem ecosystem. I was withdrawing my earnings and hated the SP aspect until when I fully understood the platform which was back in November last year. From there on, I started focusing on powering up and have been buying steem in this process. I remember I reached 100SP on December 3rd and today (5 months later) I am holding over 1,700SP.

Also, I have equally brought in over 30 new users through my initiative (Steem Cameroon) though just a few could stick around owing to the RC nature and isolation of new users on Steem. My case might not be a perfect example but can be relative to the case of some new users.

For me, while we tackle investments and developments, we should also put up a system to take care of the common new users who might just be leaving facebook and instagram to try out Steem because right now after their introductory posts only @steemitboard cares to upvotes and comment on their posts.

One of the biggest issues is the lack of freedom free accounts have due to RC limitations. Removing or at least decreasing these limitations would give a much better user experience to those new to Steem and its blockchain.

Another big issue is simplicity. Things should be as simple as possible for the end user. The general population likes simplicity when using their social media outlets. I know allot don't view Steemit (STEEM) as social media but I disagree. I think the social media aspect is what attracts most users to this blockchain.

Steem need more Applications with frontends wich look like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Further d-tube ist actually to slowly. D-tube need more Speer, because it have the most Potential.
