Cryptocurrency took its first steps into the mainstream in 2017, but there is a problem. Currently, crypto is difficult for the average person to understand and learn. There are challenges with downloading wallets and keeping keys safe. People need to learn not to keep on Coinbase or exchanges. There are so many things that hinder the public from taking the fist step into crypt.
But then there's Steemit.

Steemit is like most other blog or social media sites. You sign register and you are given a password. Unlike most though, you can't lose your password. Period. Once you are in, earning and learning about crypto is natural. The blog setting makes it easy for people to take those first steps.
Just the fact that you have to keep your password super safe and can't lose it, that starts teaching people about the intense security in world of crypto.
People can learn to send and receive crypto using the platform of Steemit. They can learn how marketplaces work and how to convert SBD to Steem.
All the lessons that you learn simply by engaging with the platform, are the 101 classes of crypto.
Right now, there are few platforms like Steemit that make it easy to start learning and understanding crypto. Even earning crypto. The only other one would be Coinbase in my opinion. They make it very easy for people to buy into crypto, but Steemit is a different beast.
The true value of Steemit is that the entire site, every single member is aware and at some level understands cryptocurrency. Possibly the largest community of its kind. In the future, that will pay off in spades.
When you invite people to Steemit, you are really inviting them to the world of crypto. As the community grows, the value will also grow exponentially.
In my opinion, Steemit is the most important platform in bringing new people to crypto. It may not always be that way, but right now it stands alone at the top.
