I think Steem is what will help bring widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies. Once millions of users are hooked on Steem, obviously they will have to learn how to convert into bitcoin and to cash out. That will get their feet wet in bitcoin but they may even learn to use it to turn their Steem into Bitcoin in order to get 20% off Starbucks using Airbitz/Fold or getting 20% off Amazon using Purse.

I take it a lot of people on here don't even know how to use bitcoin and just got in for the money you can make through Steem. Now when they have to buy or transfer out of Steem, they will ultimately learn about bitcoin so it's a win win situation for both Steem and Bitcoin imo.
