Great point of view, I hope people will realize this facts and start to open accounts here. But it seems slow most of my friends even think I am crazy for not using Facebook anymore...

I still use Facebook because I recognize that's where everyone is. I share my Steemit posts there to hopefully get them interested. These things take time. Repetition is the key. Many of my friends know me as the "bitcoin guy" because I've been talking about it since 2013. Now that I've paid off my house, they are starting to listen. Some are even creating accounts here.
wow, belated congrats on buying out the house and also trying to get your friends interested, I tell my friends about steemit and they just shun it down as ponzi scheme, is there any good way I can explain of how the whole reward system works?
I'll try to cover that in http://understandingblockchainfreedom.com at some point. You could answer by asking them a question:
How did a pizza sell for 10,000 bitcoin in May of 2010 and now that is worth millions of dollars? How does that happen?
For people to understand the increasing value of cryptocurrency is quite a wild ride. It involves a full deconstruction of what money and value actually is. For many, it's not a comfortable conversation because they spend their lives trying to obtain something they don't even understand. Certificates of debt verses market supported tokens of value... it's quite a paradigm shift.
cool, just followed
