Thanks for making this article, I hope more people see this so we can actually get a good imput from the Steem community about what to say. I'm about to do a few things but I'll post my "pitch" a little later. (I'll also post my responses to your pitch.)

I have been thinking about this same topic for almost all of my short time on Steem, and I just made a Story/Blog about my ideas. Let me know what you think. https://steemit.com/steem/@littenti/expanding-steem-first-saturday
