Sounds like you may be putting the cart before the horse, if you know what I mean. In my humble opinion, STEEM need to do what's necessary to increase it's exposure and increase value as a network. When that has been successful, then the GOLD will naturally follow. Give it some time. Until then, you can very easily exchange STEEM for other currencies and buy GOLD (or bitGOLD)
We are already at that point. I don't know if you remember or even knew about Devcoin, but I was a part of it when it was getting big and I was the person who was getting all of the new people to come in. I was getting so many new people to come in, and telling people that the more people that came in the higher it would go. And at about 50 users on Devtome it got to the point where there was a Website to get giftcards for Devcoin, and Books for Devcoin and everything, even Silver and Gold for Devcoin. Then at that point they all got mad/greedy/jealous, whatever, and decided to kick me out at about 75 users since I was not a developer (but neither were the new people), and now the coin is dead because no new people ever use it anymore, and they all just hold their coins, which are produced by the Billions every month and inflate into infinity. So Devcoin died. But when I was part of it, it was at almost 1 cent each (Billions made a month), and at only like 50 users we had the ability to buy Gold and Silver.
It's just a matter of a Whale buying a bunch of Gold and offering it for sale knowing they will get a good return when the price goes up. This is the time for this to happen, we are already at the point where this is the next step, and have been for a while.
