Steem is a true currency now, it can be directly used to buy stuff with. This is the definition of a true currency.

Not more than a handful of people will use it because not enough people have STEEM to make the economies-of-scale sufficient to jumpstart it. And no one is going to buy STEEM to use it. Thus the cross-section of people interested to sell and buy from compatible locations at any given time out of a small population of Steemians who live all over the world, is roughly a handfull ± handful. Its the classic hen-egg dilemma.
Build it and they will come is not a valid marketing concept. Identify an unmet need which drives viral adoption from the moment of launch.
That is a stupid analogy and you know it.
Things are always unequally distributed, let's face it, Marxism is nonsense.
So you could just as well say that BTC is not well distributed and that people barely have a few thousand satoshis, so they can't use BTC based services.
Steem is only little more than 1 year old, give it some time. BTC didn't got many users only by 2014 when they started putting ATMs in cities.
Maybe Steem will have to do the same, but it's only 1 year old. And there are like 300k users.
Wait 1-2 more years when there will be millions of users ,and you will get your economy
