There's a point when all new technology hits mass acceptance and becomes mainstream. Are we at that point? I'd say we're not even close.
Simon Sinek has a great talk about this in his TED Talk How Great Leaders Inspire Action.
If you skip to the 11 minute point, he discusses the Law of Diffusion of Innovation.
Summarizing his point, if you want mass market acceptance of an idea or innovation, you need to reach the "Tipping Point" which means 15%-18% acceptance. Then the early majority rushes in and the technology/innovation becomes mainstream.
I've known about cryptocurrencies for years, even though I never adopted them until recently. Now there's Steemit. I've only known about Steemit for a few months, but it didn't take me long to decide that I wanted to be in on it early (if you consider this early).
Friends, there will become a point where everyone and their mother has a Steemit account. At this point, I am content in the fact that many people still have no idea what Steemit is and it will take them some time to come on board. I feel like we are early adopters of this innovation and I'm proud to be one of the early ones to get on this platform and help it grow.
What percentage of market acceptance do you think we are on? Comment below and let's talk about it!
