That's one small step for Steemit, but one giant leap for mankind.

Today on May 17th, we celebrate our first one Million (1,000,000) STEEM accounts!!! That's awesome!

They say the first Million is the hardest one. And it really is.

I am grateful for the opportunity that STEEM and cryptos in general offer to us.

I think most people have no idea what's coming in the next few years. If you own some cryptos and HODL your STEEM, I think you will be amazed.

The whole crypto market is still very small if you compare it to other markets. Right now it is only 0.39T, whereas the (paper)gold market is 9T for example. The stockmarket is 70T. I hope you get the picture.

Institutional investors have just started pooring a little money into this new territory. There is a lot more to come. Coins that might be worth 10 cents now, might be worth several dollars in only a few years...

Repeat after me:

Patience is key, it will be awesome!

Patience is key, it will be awesome!

Patience is key, it will be awesome!

We need to somehow grow the daily userbase (number of daily active users is stagnating between 60k and 70k). We have too many dead accounts right now. They may not be dead forever (if the price of STEEM rises sharply for example some will come back), but they are dead for now (no transaction in the last two months).

Any ideas? Share them in the comments...
