I think this is a good thought. I, for example, knew almost nothing about crypto when I joined, and I almost certainly would not have joined had it been required for me to buy something on a crypto exchange (even though I really enjoy that now). Is the goal to have as many users as possible on here, or only have ones that have a certain amount of knowledge going in? It seems to me that more users would equal a higher potential value for Steem in the long term, but maybe that isn't the case?

My point exactly!
This thing is called adoption. All crypto media is crying about it, how hard it is for a regular person to adopt bitcoin or steem or ...
Don't make it even harder to join the party :)
If you don't know anything about crypto, then you won't want STEEM, because STEEM is crypto. It's a logical fallacy here. I think it's a good measure to separate the freeloaders from people who really have a say. There's no such thing as a free lunch and there will never be.
Cool :) But what about the Your voice is worth something part?
Does it really have to be crypto in the first place? Or is crypto just a consequence of participation?
Remember, Steemit Inc. want/wish millions of users.
