RC limits are an issue, though its possible to do with what we're initially allocated. With that said, I think the delegation, by Steemit, works as a way to curb the underprivileged behavior on the platform. Growing is slow, but it forces people to figure out if they really want to do this.

The problem I see is that crypto currency is being viewed as an investment tool more than a form of currency. Not everyone wants to invest, but we all need to earn. Like buying and selling money, earning a gain with crypto currency is slow and marginal.

Now, if people were earning more Steem, we could perform more transactions and make this the dominant crypto economy. More transactions mean better economy, which means a higher value coin. Note, as Steem is competing with real economies, since it's being valued against the dollar, it's price will only come to reflect that fact, so don't hold your breath waiting for the price to get back to $4 anytime soon.

All in all, Steemit should just increase the delegation to allow new users(not investors) to earn faster, so they can perform more on-platform transactions. And, Steemit.com should be the de-facto entry point for all entering the crypto world. : )
