Dan said he created Steem to lower the hurdles of entry that he came to understand from creating Bitshares. I think Steem could still realize that dream if more began focusing outward towards those not already in the ecosystem. Whether it be gifts or allowances for kids, incentives for job performance or shopping behaviors. There are many ways we can spread Steem to the masses. I don't know that many have thought out the full idea Dan had for Steem. We are so used to hoarding and seeking the quickest profits that it has become routine to see things in certain ways, being oblivious to simple things right in front of us.

With the growing means of onboarding, I believe this will be the year more people see it and begin sharing by giving to those who are still uninformed.
