Really, how cool. You could use some to onboard friends and family, although I know many dont really want to do this because there is just too much explain to do.

You could also do a post offering assistance to others that know people who are waiting on accounts?

If steem becomes more popular, people will be wanting accounts and holding these could also be a benefit. At the moment it costs only 3 steem to set up an account without them. thats like $1.15. Imagine when steem is $5 again, thats $15, at which stage people wont be so quick to burn steem to set up accounts and these could be in demand.

All done, long ago. I got 8 members of my familly on Steemit so far, all friends, neighbours, coleagues been advised and encouraged, some came and some refused, some remained here while large part gave up.
All over, during last 2 years, I have probably brought to steemit about 20-25 people.

I like you last idea of hodling for the future, for days when steem is back to $5-10.
If only the price for new acct will not be reduced then from the 3 steem

I like the tool on steemworld .org where I found a trustless way of creating new acounts, without revealing the new master password to the creator. All done from the set of public keys.
