Hello.
I must give kudos to the brains behind this wonderful project, particularly 
This post is my contribution towards having a self sustaining steemit platform, increase in the user base of steem cryptocurrency through creating adequate awareness around it, and curtailing the nefarious activities of hackers.
To that effect, including free email services with encryption technology as part of visible features of Steemit may be the magic wand to make steem cryptocurrency compete favorably with bitcoin.
If this feature is included as soon as possible, it will create broad awareness around steem ecosystem. This will attract large number of people to steemit platform because of the following:
many of the existing email services are not encrypted and are therefore prone to hacking attacks.
the few existing ones like www.protonmail.com are subscription-based. Since steemit own would be free service, it will certainly draw mammoth crowd
Many people using steemit encrypted email service means that a lot of them will get to know about steem cryptocurrency with improved chances to invest. Since value of steem is controlled by demand and supply, it therefore means more investors will be needing steem. This will result in gargantuan increase in the price of steem.
Secondly, steemit with inbuilt email box will lead to reduced dependence on third party projects for information communication, and therefore mitigate the activities of hackers operating in such platforms.
I deeply believe this opinion of mine will be taken into consideration.
