I see people commenting before reading the whole post...just to get hefty vote...that's ridiculous...
I have read first quarter and it seem interesting...your post certainly deserves reader's more time and attention..
Smart plan indeed...

An alternative would be to build the Berkeley community on Steemit.com or another Steem powered site.

That would be really great...
PS
I didn't knew that steem blockchain processes nearly half of the crypto transactions...That amazing!!!
Another proof of its potential...
