We. Can. Actually. Use. This. Stuff!

What a week!

In the span of around 36-48 hours, the Steem blockchain went through two hardforks! That's right, while all the hype and hoopla was surrounding Hardfork 21, we actually had another fork immediately after because of some issues with delegation.

So here we are....Hardfork 22!

Who said this blockchain stuff wasn't exciting huh?

I truly believe that this is the best blockchain online! It's got the people, it's got the development and it's gots a boat load of applications to keep us busy :)

Something came across my Twitter feed that summed up my belief in Steem in a few short sentences...

This tweet courtesy of @JustineH described why I have spent almost 2 years of my life learning everything I could about Steem...

Because...

We can actually USE this stuff!

And there is no better teacher than experience. The act of rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty.

According to Dale's Cone of Experience, we retain retain 70-90% of what we actually do! Not what we read...Not what we watch! But what we roll up our sleeves and actually do...

Do you know how important that is for crypto adoption?

Over the past 5 weeks, I've been dedicated to teaching and training new Steemians about this blockchain but more importantly...Actually getting them to roll up their sleeves and USE it!

That's why I have invested heavily into the CTPtalk.com condenser as well as all the tokens associated with it. This is a blockchain that everyday people will understand a lot more than downloading MetaMask, figuring out wallet addresses or even begin to understand who Satoshi Nakamoto is...To be honest, people don't care....They just wanna USE this stuff!

And in my case, it's a perfect fit. As an affiliate marketing trainer, my mission is to take members from the basics of traffic generation, lead them into analytics, break down email marketing...And near the end of their introductory lessons...Learn about content creation!

That's where Steem comes in and our Tribe here on the blockchain :)

It's the perfect fit...But more importantly it gives people something that may seem EXTREMELY confusing, and shows them how they can use the technology each and every day in their business and life.

Because...This is the power of Steem and why it's the perfect introduction the general public can have when it comes to cryptocurrency!

The every day person doesn't care about the technology, just like the average person doesn't care about how a TV works...They know that if they press a button, things start lighting up in front of their eyes. How that happens...Plays very little on their decision to actually use a television.

This is where blockchains needs to go!

And Steem can very well lead the charge. Because the majority of who we want to attract here, don't care about HOW this stuff works...They just wanna know it WILL work!

I'm excited about the direction Steem is headed. And while some will complain about the price, the ninja mining, the interesting history of this chain...As an entrepreneur all I see is potential, opportunity and promise!

Welcome to #NewSteem , buckle up because it's about to get a lot more exciting here soon!
