I might not be a good writer guys but I will sure share my expectations right from the heart. I went to ask Google the inventors of this platform and I got this from wikipedia instead.
"The project was founded in 2016 by Ned Scott and Dan Larimer, creator of BitShares. The two are founders of the Steemit Inc. company, which runs the Steemit website and funds ongoing development of the platform"
So Steemit came into the scene by 2016 and this is 2017. As of Nov 2017, there are more than 430,000 Steem accounts. After an initial public beta for which no payments were made, the hard fork on July 4th, 2016, saw $1,300,000 of STEEM and Steem Dollars paid out to Steemit users.
This is clearly amazing ! Now lets look into the nearby future. Steemit is going to depend on active users to grow and be sustainable, and people are beginning to see that money can be generated by their social media activity. By commenting on useful posts and being engaged with real people, money can be made either intentionally or passively.
Ofcourse Facebook and other social media platforms are having more users but they are clearly not making money out of it.
So what does the future hold here. Clearly I see a paradigm shift. The move of people from all other platforms to this particular platform. But I am suggesting 
I think the conviction of what steemit can do should be on the front page and trust me. The flow of users would increase. I also think the way the platform is designed, the ideology behind the concept is making the users curate genuine and useful content.
Thumbs Up @NedScott and @DanLarimer. I clearly did this article for you.
Thanks for creating this platform. There is a future for all. #steemit #intorduceyourself #newbie #life #bitcoin
