Yes it is! It's so refreshing to know people are becoming more aware of other blockchain technologies besides just BTC. Hopefully it will start to make them aware of the giant world of blockchains that await us, esp once SMTs are released. So excited about the future of such a supportive and vast network, that actually has the power to handle the large volumes of data, information, and people that IS inevitable.
It's def interesting trying to explain how the whole STEEM system works to most ppl, but after a little further explanation and checking things out themselves, most people at least start to come around. It def helps that there are so many people both here and on youtube explaining just how everything work, and attesting to the fact that this is not some ridiculous scheme or something... but instead a wonderful community and network of friends, family, and resources, where ideas, innovation, and creativity is encouraged to flourish!
2018 is going to be wild!!! Hope your New Year is off to a wonderful start my brother! It's always wonderful and motivating to read your posts. Be well as always!!
