• Work out a deal like Dash is for a branded prepaid MasterCard/VISA and I think it will make user adoption explode faster than UX upgrades, new features and marketing.

That would be a really great way to get more people using Steemit and the new busy.org site is easier for most people to use too.

• In that same vein, another natural fit for Steemit is to become an alternative to/displace Kickstarter and GoFundMe.

This would also be another great way to use Steem. I think I remember someone was working on an app like Kickstarter for Steem but haven't heard anything else about it for quite some time. There was also a YouTube like app that was in the works but have not heard anything else about.

Cryptos are cool and I'm looking forward to introducing merchants to BlockPay which I'll be starting soon.
