Here is my new idea of adding a top bar on Steemit to show "Steem and SBD price on it", so it shows on the frond-end of Steemit. Together with this addition, we need to add a text/slogan or something that communicates the Steem blockchain's vision. Something like this. Here are a few ideas. For sure communicators on the team of steemit and steem can think of the best combination, or we can alltogether decide which is the best one.
1- Signup to Steemit and start earning SBD and STEEM by posting quality content.
2- Signup to Steemit and start earning SBD and STEEM, to accumulate your way to Freedom.
3- Start Contributing to earn SBD and STEEM, that are the way to Freedom.
4- Get Started to earn SBD and STEEM, that are the way to your Freedom.
5- Get Started to earn SBD and STEEM rewards, for your future Financial Freedom.
We can think of a lot more combinations, to get the shortest and best phrase.
Here is the proposed location for the "Steem and SBD price on a Top Bar" with the sign up phrase on the left side. I created a rough design, however, it should to be designed according the steemit style.
And here is the visual explanation for the different items involved.
I have the believe of the fact that potential users for steemit and the steem blockchain, will get to understand what they can do on steemit faster, if we are able to show them its most important capabilities, and show targeted users what they can do in the platform & how they can do it, (so they can easier find what is their best fit on it), can make the entire ecosystem grow huge.
Showing the Steem and SBD price on it (just as finance and currency sites do with the USD and other currencies), will make people see more of the potential of the platform directly just by being on the front end of Steemit. Also, if we add the phrase together with the SBD and STEEM price, they will get a bit more of information of what is going on with Steem and its vision.
One of the main reasons and vision for creating steem and steemit (clearly explained by "teamsteem" on his welcome to steemit post: https://steemit.com/joy/@teamsteem/welcome-to-steem) is Freedom, and its empowering people and returning the power and control to them, that is were it belongs too. The current system (governments and banks) for hundreds of years, has created their own way to wealth, leaving people a side.
So, we can also add a "Learn more" link next to the phrase so people can go to a page/post, that has several useful links for people to learn everything they need to decide to try Steemit. For instance the post of "teamsteem" (welcome to steemit) can be added so they learn what "dan" and "dantheman" steem vision and purpose is.
This is what can be covered when they click on the learn more (This can be done with a few videos and written content explaining):
1- What is steem (for potential users)
2- Steem Vision from its creators ("teamsteam" welcome to steemit post)
3- What is steemit(for potential users)
4- How you earn rewards on steemit and utopian-io
5- How you can convert steem or sbd rewards into bitcoin, ethereum and litecoin or other crypto, and finally into fiat
6- Need a steemit mentor and would like to find one Mentor on "Steemit Worldmap"? How can a Mentor Help you?
7- Any other important features that will help people learn this is true, and that to get the real impression that the steem blockchain and steemit are an open and very helpful community, whose aim is to enpower people, return the control to them, leaving banks and governments on the side.
The 2 main reasons to show "Steem and SBD price on a Top Bar" (together with a Phrase that engages and shows a bit of the steem vision to them) on Steemit are:
Reason 1:
It will attract the attention of you visitors to the steemit site, and help increase the capturing of potential users that initialy have some doubts of how it is really possible to earn rewards by getting upvotes (how all this works), when they first see some trending posts.
Adding the "Steem and SBD price on a Top Bar" will act as a strong capturing feature to make people signup on steemit, and once they read on the learn more page all the important facts every steemian needs to know, they can start to think what would be their area of contribution for the community, and once they get started, they will see how thety are rewarded by doing so. Once they are able to publish their first post and get rewards on it, they will definitely want to spread the word.
Reason 2:
The steemit platform has lots of possibilities for every person doing all of the following: enpowering and giving control to people, freedom, banking the unbanked or people who do not have access to the banking system, learning from a variety of topics, and many others possibilities), so making easier for them to get a fast panorama of what is steem, steemit, and how everything works, and how half a million people are experiencing this today, and that steemit is a community of people that are here to clear doubts and guide new people on Steemit, will help the steemit platform to be noticed even more, thus increasing the number of people/"potential users" that decide to give it a try.

Adding this feature of the "Steem and SBD price on a Top Bar" will act as another important engaging factor, to have more potential users signup on steemit, and thus start learning more on crypto in general. This can finally be translated into steem and the steemit platform being important drivers of making cryptocurrency go mainstream.

Hope this idea is interesting for you as it is for me. And as always, your suggestions, thoughts, comments are welcome, to enrich the idea, and even get new ideas to make steem and steemit a better place every day.
