I love your dedication to this project, @donkeypong. Supporting growing local communities is a great way to make them spread the word like a hayfire.
I was wondering if Steem could be used to pay people to learn new information. I am a memory coach and using a learning app could create valuable content for the education market and push the user to new frontiers while paying him for doing so. His information could be used to improve the learning experience for the next student even more. I have many ideas about that topic.
