I agree in terms of the long term vision. It's like we can all see the mountain in the distance we want to get to,(Well most of us, there is that camp that thinks this BC shouldn't be about content :/) but I think it's just a matter of how do we get there.

There's some inescapable hurdles we have to get over like

• People not knowing anything about crypto.
• People having never heard of Steem(No Marketing)
• Across the board poor user experience on applications
• etc

I think if I could magically inject what Steem is and how it works to the world, the internet would explode and everyone would want to be here.

Also, I think better incorporated donations would be good for the interfaces here. Something like this

I think it just gives people more options and I think it would be more popular for new users especially as this place starts to scale. Steem Power will get more and more scarce and expensive, and it take a lot of money to have an upvote worth say $1. But it's no big deal to just give someone you really like a dollar. To have a $1 upvote here would cost something like $17k. When we start to onboard the masses, most don't have that much to invest and I think donations(on content) gives them more options to reward what they want to reward. In my ideal scenario, there would be an SMT or something like that that rewards people for giving donations as well.
