You are so right man...the difference between sleeping and being dead is huge and if everyone does their research they will eventually join the steem horde....yet unless someone is a serial investor I don't really expect people to do their homework...I mean the average Tom....
I found out about steem by "accident"...loved it...and stayed...and planning to stay till the end of days....
So we also need to onboard average users and make them love this place...
Hope this doesn't sound like a rant
Have a great one mate!
HF 23 (barring anything unforeseen) should make onboarding much easier with light accounts and RC delegation, SMTs lots coming.
