160 USD. Not that much, but too much for the average user to invest. I've been talking about the "average" user on STEEM for a long, long period of time...

The "average" users on STEEM, are the same people who're using Fakebook and Twatter. They use STEEM because they have a chance to earn money for the same content they share elsewhere.

They don't want to invest. You could sell 500 Steem for $10, and most of these "average" users would still decline the offer.

Honestly, I don't think the problem is the amount of money. The problem is the investment. People come here to earn money, not to spend it. That, and all this tech-talk going around are two of the main reasons for STEEM to be more or less stagnant. At least according to me.

You can't aim for massadoption when you're targeting these anarchist, anti-government types of people who lives in basement somewhere. You need to lay out information in a way so average people understand. And you need to promote STEEM the same way.

• That's how we will reach massadoption.

We have like 43 different leagues, support- and minnow-making projects out there for people who doesn't want to invest money, including my own Minnow-ASAP project. Most people ignores that too. People even ignores the chance to get free Steem just by answering 3 simple questions...

People in general suck, because they expects the world for nothing. When they realize that they missed a good opportunity though, they bitch and moan about it. On top of that, we have the other excuses:

"The price will decline even further, I will wait."

I can personally relate to that one. I am not rich by any means and I would rather buy 500 STEEM for $50 than $100. But, if I don't buy at $100, and the price continues to decline...

• I wouldn't buy at $50 either.

I would continue to wait for "that perfect time" to strike... And suddenly, it's too late because the value goes up again and I can go back to my "roots" and complain again.
