I think there is the pull to "cash out" to prove the viability of this process. We need quick wins to prove the mettle of this endeavor.

That being said, your challenge to think of currency in nontraditional ways is interesting, can you unpack that? I think it really boils down to the non-profits we select and how cash(poor/or not) they are. If they need money for a specific project and they want to get in and out versus if they are looking for a potential new revenue stream that may take some time to become reliable, but they are willing to take the time to learn about Steemit and blockchain potential.
