If the last 2 months are any indication, Steem is taking on new members, and growing like wildfire. I believe 2018 will be the year that Steem bursts into the mainstream and really takes flight.
With YouTube having "Defunded" more or less all of its content makers, the "Career YouTubers" are going to welcome the revenue opportunities Steem platform provides, and flock to this platform in droves like a herd of elephants.
If you are reading this, you are already a pioneer. Next year you will be the "Old School" Steem crowd. The ones that were here when it was still a baby. Time flies in this space. Congratulations on being an early adopter and supporter, and stock up on Steem. I think this time next year you will be shocked at what it has become!
This is going to be a great year! Buckle up!
