I'm curious, what does this mean for your average Joe, who lightly dabbles in other blockchains and crypto? Why should they be interested in Steem? What does these fests do other than create a social club? Not saying they are bad, but what do they do to entice and convince the masses that Steem is not just a club and is a real, legitimate blockchain with a plethora of possiblities? Right now, I read this and the comments and all I feel like is "this is a club". Just my two cents.
