Nice discussions, I very like that everyone explains its point of view contending, argueing with great topic`s knowledge . Very helpful for me, learning step by step. Thaks everybody.

"Steem is a bit confusing for newbies who just want to start blogging - from the different currencies, to resteeming, voting power and bandwidth issues, it's a lot to take in! Along with the ‘fundamentals’, there are also many areas up for debate such as the use of bid bots and flagging."

"Another area in which I think scares users away is their lack of understanding of the crypto market - investing in crypto (and yes by earning Steem you are investing!) is a long term investment. I see many people coming in and expecting to make some money quickly and then leave. "

"There is a lot of hype and expectation when new users come to Steemit after watching Youtube videos from Steem whales who makes it sound much easier than it is in reality to make money on Steemit, or by reading news articles making it sound easy to make a load of money. "

User retention is a massive issue here on Steem, and could affect the long term success of the platform. However, I believe that more experienced and knowledgeable Steemians can play a part in educating and helping out new users which will make them more likely to stay for the long term.
Remember - Steem is a long term investment, and short term fluctuations shouldn’t affect your overall approach and strategy!
