Now that DTube is up and running, a whole new door has opened for potential users to join Steem and add to the total value of the community. I recently made a post about Whalebounty that offers rewards to anyone that is able to recruit popular figures onto the Steem platform.
For the communities benefit, I created this Google Doc which is able to be edited by all. If you screw with it, I will find you and slap you with a giant fish.

HOW TO SELL IT
- DO NOT SELL ON THE MONEY. That is just icing on the cake
- Focus on the decentralized nature -- there is no one in charge that can decide what should be censored
- No one can delete content after it is posted to the blockchain -- it stays forever
- The rewards grow as the platform does -- First Mover Advantage
