When I was new to the crypto world around 2013, the one thing that I always found surprising was that each exchange and mining pool would always provide bonus funds for getting a friend to successfully sign up via an instituted Refer-A-Friend program. Even if it is small, such a feature would be both an incentive for fellow steemers while perhaps more importantly providing a streamlined means of growth.
I have big ideas sometimes but I think we would all like to see this, and if so, Please upvote and comment on this post and let it be known! We want Refer-A-Friend! Even if we don't actually get bonus steempower :P
